It’s Friday!!! Did everyone get through the week okay? Hope so! This is going to be a little work, but let’s review all the winners since the contest first started. Shall we?
How many readers remember our first winner? You’d have to remember way back to June 15th. It wouldn’t take much of a stretch to guess Tieki Rae. It came from the Duncan Hunter for President post:
P.S. Don’t call my mom a leftie. That’s just rude. We don’t call you a moonbat for supporting Ron Paul (even though you are).
Who came next? It was the Grit and post was regarding child abuse. The Grit gave us a little perspective of umm … white trash living: (Not that the Grit is white trash!) 
All of this brings me around to what I wanted to say, even though it is embarrassing, which is that the parents in question were probably telling the truth. This would not seem all that unusual, if you had ever seen a naked woman and a man clad only in his briefs and a cowboy hat on their front lawn, settling a dispute about their son’s desire to join the Boy Scouts, each with a kitchen knife in one hand and a can of beer in the other, at three in the morning.
See, with the proper background information to give it perspective, it all makes sense
the Grit
Along came Neil as the next winner. If you’re not familiar with Neil, he posts some great stuff over at 4Simpsons and he even does a Bible Study blog. Somewhere along the way, he claims to have a real job too. Neil was commenting on my post about something silly coming out of Obama’s pie hole.
The lack of logic from these folks is astounding. The UCC blogger / pastor I read now and then is almost comical in his hypocrisy. He thinks all religions are valid paths to God (and the guy is just out of seminary!). He brags about working for the Obama campaign while decrying anything conversatives do to let their religious beliefs inform their political opinions. They are pro-abortion and pro-gay marriage but anti-sharing the real Gospel.
We didn’t hijack the faith, the Liberals walked away from it and kept calling themselves Christians.
By this time, we have reached the 4th of July. Independence Day. I posted a simple blog regarding the holiday and it attracted a socialist troll. He turned out not to be overbearing, but I think it was because my faithful readers kept him in his place. no2liberals won the contest with the following in response to the troll:
So if I follow your reading list, then I will come to think as you do, and believe as you do?
I like to set goals, and pursuing the goal of being pathetic, just doesn’t seem reasonable, to me.O teach me how I should forget to think.
(romeo and juliet)
Finally, we get to Conservablog’s own Velvet Hammer. Her winning comment was found on the same Independence Day post and she, too, was schooling the troll:
Marcas - If only you’d allow other countries to have independance (sic) too!
Pardon me, but you have a lot of nerve dissing the US when all the while you support chavez. What hypocrisy.
And if you feel the need to question our love for watermelon, then you will never get it, and must not have ever eaten it.
Sweet, not only was she defending the democracy and freedom of our great nation — but also the patriotism of watermelon on the 4th of July! She’s awesome.
Next, comes John Kaiser, or Total Transformation. Same guy, different blogs. He was responding to my Michael Vic dog
killer post.
Did you hear, Michael Vick released a statement. Here, I’ll repost it.
“To my legion of adoring fans. I am so sorry that I let you down. Not with the whole dog fighting thing, I mean regarding my abilities (or lack thereof) on the field. Between all my injuries caused by my failure to actually throw the ball (an odd thing since I am a quarterback), and my frequent confusion over whether I am the Atlanta Falcons quarterback or their running back, I haven’t played many complete seasons since I started with this team.
In addition, I know my stats have been pretty mediocre (except for yards on the ground, which are quite impressive FOR A QUARTERBACK). Also, I know that I frequently do incredibly stupid things like flipping off my fans and letting dog fights occur on my property. But can’t you forgive me? After all, it isn’t like I killed my wife.
Speaking of that, perhaps if I hung out with O.J. you guys might appreciate me more. Kind of like how when average looking girls have an ugly friend they look even better- but this would be more about morals than looks. I mean, seriously, do I have to hang out with O.J. and Pacman Jones in order to look like a half way decent and respectable quarterback? If that is what I must do, then I guess I must. As long as it doesn’t involve throwing the football, I hate doing that.
Well, I am off to the Golf Course to help O.J. find the real killers. Maybe I will get lucky and they will be responsible for all those dog fights too?!”
[The above was satire…as you could have guessed]
Next, we have the first repeat winner: Neil! He was just having a little fun since I had just made the move to Conservablogs:
Congratulations, Tammy!
But why are you on Conservablogs?! I thought you were a liberal.
Psych!
And last, but certainly not least … we have the lovely Angel. Her comment was simple, yet content appropriate considering the post:
aw poor thang might get tortured a bit..Boo frikken Hoo!
Now, we need to find a winner for this week. Remember, all of you are winners … I just use this really non scientific method to highlight one of you for the week.
Oh, what the heck, I’m tired from all that research and linkage. Let’s just keep this week a review and everyone do the following:
- Go back to your own blog and find your favorite comment that someone left you
- Copy it and bring it back here and post it in the comments of this post
- Please feel free to link back to your blog /post where the comment took place and also the commenter’s blog.
- If your comment gets caught in the moderation queue, call me. Just kidding! I have a new plugin that should let you through the spam filter, even with the links! We’ll see, huh?
- Okay — please play! Show some love!
Do it for Knut!

That freakin’ bear is so cute!
Hi John,
Isn’t he though?!! I love that guy. Of course, he’s not a baby anymore, but I’ll keep his baby pictures forever. He’ll just keep growing into a big ‘ol polar bear that can eat you for lunch in one bite.
I am playing this week (but not by the rules…
)
This is from an older post…

Great speech - once agin the obvious question - why no national media coverage? It is factual, logical, informative and at the very least a terrific basis for a debate on the subject. Instead, the “media” ignores it because they can’t logically refute it. Thank’s for posting it.

I got a bunch of great responses to my most recent meme, you might enjoy. Especially the guy I found.
Thanks CavMom!
On comment of week, rules are always optional!
I’ll try and click the link over lunch.
Hi John,
I saw that crazy guy yesterday! I plan to try it sometime too. I hope that Knut the polar bear comes up as a picture for me, cuz I’m crazy bout that cub!
Okay, what’s the deal? I had to go get my own comments out of the spam filter?!
Tieki, not sure what you’re trying to say there? You were in the spam catcher too!
I think Tieki is voting in favor of something (though that is usually spelled a-y-e
Anyway, Eric, our gracious Conservablogs host wins this week with his comment on my pic with Wyoming’s (and America’s) junior Senator:
Speaking of pictures, insert here shameless plug for the longest-running Friday Photo Query I’ve had to date.
Well, when I get around to blogging, I get good comments.
TotalTransformation on my Tuesday Round-Up:
Sunday School Teacher on gay moths, part I:
SST, again, on government grants:
Neil, on gay moths:
Not amusing, just true: SST on why it’s good to not have a living wage
We didn’t hijack the faith, the Liberals walked away from it and kept calling themselves Christians…Booyahhh!..good one..have a gr8 weekend Tammi!:)
Hi Tammi,
My entry is from Mark’s comment on my “Pacifists gone mild” post. You can read the whole comment and post here.
Mark did a clever job of politely setting straight a “frequent commenter” who has trouble understanding some basic points. He closed the comment with some defintions to clear things up.
“Some definitions (just so there is no confusion as to what I am saying):
Pure - free from anything of a different, inferior, or contaminating kind; free from extraneous matter: pure gold; pure water.
Pacifist - a person who … is opposed to war or to violence of any kind.
Pure Pacifist - See above. (2 + 2 = 4)
Virgin - a person who has never had sexual intercourse.
Common Sense - sound practical judgment that is independent of specialized knowledge, training, or the like; normal native intelligence.
Is - to exist or live
Fault - a defect or imperfection; flaw; failing
Moronic - a person who is notably stupid or lacking in good judgment
Moral - of, pertaining to, or concerned with the principles or rules of right conduct or the distinction between right and wrong; ethical”
Hi Scott,
I had to go to the spam filter to fetch out your comment. I hope it starts letting you guys through more often or I’m going to assume that plugin I had installed doesn’t work too hot.
Thanks for participating in COTW! And I assume that Tieki Rae must be voting in favor of something too?
Hi Bridget,
Amazing isn’t it? When we find time to blog, people come up with some great comments. Problem is always finding the time!
Thanks for sharing and participating. Knut’s glad too.
Hi Neil,
So, you have the bragging rights of being the only COTW winner twice. You should celebrate.
Thanks for participating in this one too. I’m glad to learn that I haven’t been using the term moronic out of context when I’m talking about leftards.
Hi Angel,
You do the same! Try to stay cool.
One of my favorite comments this last week came from this really kewl lady out west in God’s Country. It was regarding my extended lamenting of the summer heat and the perception of a “seemingly endless brook trickling down the crack of your butt.”
“In the mean time you should have your wife drop some ice down your crack to cool you off.”
Just to let you know, she read that and acted accordingly… it didn’t work, but did nearly cause me cardiac arrest.
Hi DI,
That sounds like a crazy lady out west.
Thanks for participating!
Knut is beyond adorable.
I know Bridget! Right now he’s just a little bitty man-eater. I love that bear!
Tammi
Thanks for the re-mention of one of my making your comment the week.
“Hi Scott,

What plugin are you meaning? This is not just a glitch on your blog. BTW I have just contacted Askimet again. Heavy sigh…
See how I can get through when I do not link to my site.
Arrgh! lol
