Best of the Best
Now that Matt has us thinking of the Seattle Weekly, it's time to send them more traffic: time to fill out their annual Best of Seattle ballot. Some categories that may interest you:
- #9. Best local blog -- I have my personal favorite :-)
- #11. Best local activist/hellraiser -- because of Stefan, Ron Sims can feel the flames
- #14. Best scandal -- a certain election fiasco comes to mind
- #15. Best local cause -- how about cleaning up the county office that caused the scandal?
- #16. Best reform we need -- an elected auditor to be accountable for implementing the cleanup
Complete ten categories to get entered in a prize drawing. You'll need to give some personal information for your vote to count, so you can't vote twice. Other than that, balloting is no more restrictive than King County elections.

10. Andy - I like your site. too. But I think you have to post more often to be in the running for this kind of contest.
11. Skor, I love your blog. But I went with SP. I must admit it was close. Project C.R.A.P almost put you over the top!!
12. I notice over on Horsesass.org that Goldy won the "best activist/hell-raiser" category last year. It's at the very top of his site. Like a badge of honor. Nice to see Stefan take that one from him.
