Hmm...

Commenter notDilbert sent me news of this contest:
Boston's Talk Station AM 680 WRKO is in search of the next great political blogger! Now through October 29th you can submit your best original political blog entry and our expert and celebrity panel of judges will choose the 10 best blogs, 5 conservative and 5 liberal. We’ll narrow down the contestants via our celebrity judges: Tom Finneran, Todd Feinburg, Charley Manning and Howie Carr. Once the finalists are chosen, our expert judges will issue a challenge. After the finalists post their challenge our fans will vote for the best blog entries in each category!
I thought about submitting of the hundreds of political entries here at MArooned, just on a whim - I harbor no illusions that my poo-flinging humble scribbling here would win such a contest (especially given the proliferation of F-bombs and "kill 'em all" posts...), but couldn't narrow the field down. Looking back through my political themed posts, there's a lot dealing with the idiocy of MA politics - not exactly the most promising of themes to win a MA-based blogging spot. Then again, it's free, so why not?

Any political posts stand out here at MArooned, or should I just pick the one with the fewest profanities?

That is all.

I thought about submitting a post of what a crooked and evil piece of shit Tom Finneran is, and what a moral slap in the face WRKO gave the state offering him a job (and Shipping Scott Allen Miller, who had one of the best news radio shows around, out of the state), especially given what a horrible show it is.

But I didn't bother.

As soon as Howie leaves them I can take that turd off my presets.

I think you should pick the one with the most profanity, carefully edit it so that you can fit at least six of the seven words you can't say on television into it at four word intervals and submit that.

You won't win with it, but wouldn't it make you feel good?

.....I agree with Weer'd, go "all in", Thoose are exactly the ones to submit. Particulaly if you have an old one about Finneran --- That should at least get you Howie's and Todd's vote.


.......of course, if Entercom management gets a vote...

Be yourself, Jay. Don't try to overthink this, just find your favorite and send it in profanity and all.

Pick the one that you remember as being the one that caused you the most frothing at the mouth rage, the one that highlights the greatest glaring stupidity. Pick your best shining moment of clarity that spotlights the absolute howling insanity we face.

And as far as which one? Have breda pick out your two or three best - she's good that way! :)
