Decisions, decisions ...


How can I possibly choose just one?

There really ought to be an all of the above option.

Oh no, Palin all the way. Just when you think she's done, another unbelievably whacked out scandal breaks or fact about her family surfaces...she could win this for the next two years straight.

See, I disagree, Mike. Of course Palin is a moron and a whack job, and has an impressive ability to get all the morons and whack jobs on the right side of the aisle to stand up behind her in praise.

But she's a politician. There's a greater goal in it for her. Granted, that goal is power, which isn't all that great a goal -- but the cringeworthy, down-home aw-shucks manner, and the foundation of stupidity that it lies on, is a means to an end. There are those who use a similar means to a similar end; Jean Chretien springs immediately to mind, but he is an intelligent man, not an idiot.

On the other hand, you have Jonah Goldberg, whose idiocy is an end in itself. Sure, he's enriching himself with his little Hitleriffic volume there, but the wingnut welfare was coming in no matter what he did. It's an impressive display, a truly overwhelming achievement -- that so little should be gained by saying so much. I briefly thought about writing a parody of Goldberg when his book was unleashed, but I realised that it would be too much damned work, and once you realise that such idiocy is actually the product of such hard work and industry, you must simply stand back in awe and amazement.

So that's why I endorse Mr Jonah Goldberg as Palme d'Haire winner, 2008.
