THE FINAL TABULATION AS OF SUNDAY 21, THE IDES OF FEBRUARY...
WE HAD THE WINNER ALL ALONG, ROGER COHEN , IF THIS HAD BEEN A RACE AROUND AN OVAL 440 TRACK HE'D HAVE TWICE LAPPED THE PACK, OF CONNELLY, RIEF, DOUTHOUT VAN DEN HEUVEL
HE HAS WON CHRIS HEDGES' WOODWORKING SET, AND CHRIS WILL DELIVER IT PERSONALLY AT HIS OWN OLD PLACE OF WORK...
DAVID MAMET's PROMISED ....ONE GUESS * answer below ... with some dried blood on them from Chicago, AND SINCE IT'S A SET, CONNOLLY RIEF DOUTHOUT AND VAN DEN HEUVEL will each receive one... sorry to have to break up the set... but so it goes... everyone is a winner!
Since I have an ample suppllu of our local banana slugs the third place pack... O'Hanlon, Ulin, and Kimball will each receive one big jar full....
final score:
OF 1667 TOTAL FIRST PLACE VOTES CAST
ROGER COHEN 533 FIRST PLACE VOTES
125 SECOND PLACE
40 THIRD PLACE VOTES
CONNOLLY 245 FIRST PLACE
403 SECOND PLACE
200 THIRD PLAC
RIEF 230 FIRST PLACE
307 SECOND PLACE
445 THIRD PLACE
DEN HEUVEL 204 FIRST PLACE
507 SECOND PLACE\
315 THID PLACE
ROSS DOUTHOG 185 FIRST

15 SECOND PLACE
65 THIRD PLACE
O'HANLON 53 FIRST
125 SECOND
334 THIRD
APPELBAUM 35 FIRST
80 SECOND
413 THIRD PLACE
THERE WAS CONSIDERABLE DEFENSE OF RIEF, NONE FOR COHEN OR CONNOLLY, SOME FOR VAN DEN HEUVEL... ANASTASIA IS THE OUT OF NOWHERE, I HADN'T EVEN PUT HER ON MY LIST, AS IS ROSS DOUTHOUT WHOM I ONLY MENTIONED IN PASSING, KIMBALL AND OHANLON ARE TOO LITTLE KNOWN IT APPEARS... ANN APPLEBAUM HAD A FEW DEFENDERS...
THERE WAS A SPRINKLE OF OTHER NOMINEES...
AND THERE WAS THE OCCASIONAL SNIDE COMMENT THAT CHRIS AND I ARE AT LEAST AS BORING AS MY NOMINEES! WE SHALL REMEMBER ALL YOU SNIDERS!
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!
