More Awards!

Ralph Nader has decided to put his hat into the ring - again - and since we're handing out awards today, this Sunday - I thought that this would be a fantastic occasion to hand out a coveted Impious Horse's Ass Award.

We'll even go a step further and hand him a Lifetime Achievement Award for all the trouble that'll save for future events and planning.

Not that Ralph's a bad guy - he did tell America to not buy Pintos since they kind of exploded when they were in accidents. His career highlights include acting as a consumer advocate and attorney; consultant to U.S. Department of Labor, 1963; founder, Public Citizen research group; author of several books, including Unsafe at Any Speed, 1965.

He has also run for President.

Nader has run for President 5 times effing times.

1992, 1996, 2000, 2004 and now, today, in 2008. The most notable was in 2000 when he convinced a bunch of folks that he had a better environmental record than Al Gore... which probably cost Al the Presidency.

Perhaps we should bring out the Beating A Dead Horse Award instead?
