Has it been almost 5 months since this already?
Golly, time does fly.
And it's only 6 months until we (theoretically) do it all again?
Somebody better find the time & energy to run the show, cuz I still have serious doubts about my own gumption.
This little diary is posting now for two three FOUR reasons.
- To remind you to keep track of any submissions you might have for the 2010 Voting/Nominations
- To announce the name change per many comments in this diary
- To unveil those who got the short shrift as a result of that formerly flawed process.
- To troll for people who might want to participate in the gathering of nominations, polling, etc. The more people step up to help, the easier it will be; trust me.
Jump below to see if you medaled.
Basically this information is not new; all of these names could have been found at the polling place when the winners were announced. However it seems as if the runners-up never got their due, so I went ahead and spent a few minutes hours compiling the details for all to see and congratulate.
Enjoy!
Instead of these little guys (who I never really knew about before they became an award at DKos), we will give out virtual medals for the various winners. Just like they do at the other -lympics. Yeah, the Special ones.
Here they are, your 2nd and 3rd place finishers getting their comeuppance or just desserts or whatever. Better late than never!

So did I mention that we need people who might want to participate in the gathering of the 2010 Voting/Nominations?
I did?
Good!
All ya gotta do it speak up and then post a few diaries when the time comes. The pay sucks, but it's lots of fun and it will make you feel all like important.
Or something.
We could just skip it this year if you don't feel like helping.
Up to you.
Next up....

So did I remind you to keep track of any submissions you might have for the 2010 Voting/Nominations?
I did?
Good!
Because trying to recall the entire year's writing in December results in, well, lots of nominations from December's diaries. Sure, it is a fine month, but frankly, with perhaps the exception of February, there should really be an equal number of entries from each month.
Just sayin'.
Moving on...
