As a continuous user of TD since 2007, Truthdig has been a
home base to rant, vent, bloviate (my specialty) and rebut,
but but but and rebutt.  My best curtsy and congratulations. 
Thank you for working at being excellent:  You have succeeded.

Truthdig is freedom of speech personified,.....
except they should tax imbeciles, morons and the
village idiots sponsored by the contingent for taking
space.

hello. you are welcome, as your family compiles good raw data; and just because everybody has an *$$hole, you demonstrate that you don’t have to act alike one: and that’s my opinion. (opinions are just like *$$holes: everybody’s got one, and both usually produce shit). congratulations, and bottom’s up!

Apparently antiwar.com wasn’t even nominated. So I don’t know how seriously to
take this award.

************************************

Outstanding! TD won it DESPITE posts from ED, Robert, omop and “The Contingent”.

Must be the hilarious comedy by Leefeller, the brilliant rebuttals by Shenonymous and even Shingo.  And, of course, the clear, unimpeachable insights and analysis of….yours truly!

(Seriously, TD—-Congratulations.)

Good job.  My opinion, but I have wondered if NOT having a ‘rating’ of comments by fellow commenters results in comments being less sensational, less argumentative, less crowd-pleasing and finally more to the point and informative.  Just a thought.

Bravo.  I am unable to click to read the rest of the winners.  Problem?
