Someone has to pay attention to this crap



Voting in The Soggy Biscuit sweepstakes -- dedicated to anointing the "biggest circle-jerk of the year" -- is now open.

I'll admit to having something of a soft spot for the African Press International scam. The fact that these folks are still at it -- and are now requiring that anyone who wants to read their Michelle Obama coverage ask for a password from the editor -- is worthy of admiration and underscores the resiliency of their devoted American readers. That said, the API thing was really just an opportunistic subset of the "Whitey Tape" fiasco, which strangely enough didn't make the list. If it had, this year's contest would be a no-brainer.

I'd also be tempted to vote for the "Fake Obama Birth Certificate" story, which EvenTheDerangedWingnut Bob Owens dismissed. It's a sensible choice, and I suspect it will eventually carry the title Let's be honest, though. Any circle jerk that doesn't include Confederate Yankee isn't really worthy of the name. For that reason alone, my vote will go to "Bill Ayers Ghost Wrote Obama's Book," a rumor that Owens entertained and for which a couple of idiot Republicans were willing to waste $10,000.
