This is it. For the last two weeks I’ve updated everyone
on the cage matches over at iOwnTheWorld. The cage match solution became necessary when
so many submissions were vying for the coveted PUK Award.
There were 28
nominations and the cage matches whittled the number down to 14 finalists who
had created the best conservative agitprop for 2012.
You can view the 14 finalists here.
Commenter joe6pak said, “From top to bottom, there is some great work there.” And phil.arbeit wrote, “I
think the overall level of the competition’s entries improve every year. Our
artists are getting better and better! These are all winners already. To all
the artists: Thanks for doing what you do for US!”
Two friends
are finalists: The Looking Spoon has
three entries in the finals and Capitalist Preservation has one. I am fortunate to have two entries in the
Final 14.
About one of
my entries, Norman Einstein posted this comment, “Remember when there was REAL
hope and change. Hands down.”
Referring to
my other offering, MaryfromMarin wrote, “I’ll bet BHO would vote for 'Everything is going according to plan'. And would probably hang it in the
private bathroom adjacent to the Oval Office.”
This year’s
judge will be writer Clarice Feldman. Clarice is the most fitting judge we have
ever had, because it is Clarice that introduced us to Peter Bocking, the namesake of the PUK awards. Puk
was Peter’s online nickname, which was shortened from PeterUK. We will always
miss you and will always try to live up to your most often stated refrain—“Make
the bastards live by their beliefs.”
Rosalind J,
commenting on the tough job the judge faces wrote, “I don’t envy her the job of
deciding which of these should be declared the best. What are the odds of a
three-way tie? Good luck Clarice!"
The winner
will be announced Monday night at 8PM ET.
How cool would
it be for there to actually be a three-way tie:
My two friends and me? The
anticipation is exciting.
Honestly, I
wish the very best of luck to everyone.
