WE HAVE A WINNER, ROGER COHEN IS POURING IT ON, IF THIS WERE A RACE AROUND AN OVAL TRACK HE'D HAVE TAKEN THE LEAD AGAIN AFTER ROUNDING THE PACK, HE WILL WIN CHRIS HEDGES' WOODWORKING SET,
DAVID MAMET HAS PROMISED ....ONE GUESS * answer below ... with some dried blood on them from Chicago, thanks David and you don't know what a lucky man you are that we didn't take you on at Urizen Books, if your agent had submitted Glengary Glenross and not American Buffalo about which I still am luke warm... I have decided to provide a big jar full of our local banana slugs to the third place finisher
Current score below: Connolly with a lot of local support has pulled ahead of Rieff for good I think, van den Heuvelcontinues to catch up to Rieff with support from New York base! only first place votes, nip and tuck as we enter the last three day lap....ross douthout, who was mentioned as d.o.a. in my comments has proved the dark horse shooting up to # 5,
i have gotten some interesting defenses of david rieff, "no more grief for rieff until he's ripe" writes one punnster, he has the kind of following from the fairer sex of restaurant workers and airline stewardesses that makes me believe he's a tiger! all right, apologies to david, it's just that both his parents were important figures in my life. although only his mother needed considerable excusing for some of her errors... that fellow who runs the l.a. book review continues to enjoy solid but entirely regional support. o'hanlon seems to have support from d.c. and maryland and from the catholic church, as you would expect for an ex-choir-boyscout, some defenders of his evidently broookings folk, not one defender of poor roger cohen, not a one! what a fan club he has! there are sprinklings of other nominations... but i'll only mention them only in the final sending. look at how they score... first place only for now...
THE TEN MOST BORING WRITERS IN THE U.S VOTE FOR THREE being assembled...Por favor, give me further nominations, or disagreements and vote at the same time!
Right now poor Roger Cohen is winning this Idarod handsdown! Close behind David Rieff is Seattle's one and only Joel Connolly!

to find the safe haven of utter mediocrity! [Unless he writes
about his mother, then the style the mind suddenly snaps to it!]

Once a month or once a week we get an update on the imperial wars, so that you really want to put your head in the sand!
And expert in boredom is my choir boy!
