No, thank you

Accolades have been coming at me faster than Congressional and White House Democrats and capitulate to Republicans and corporate interests. And after ignoring them for so long I figured I better be a gracious monkey and accept these awards and thank the senders of them.

Canadian babe Laura just gave me this award:

It's so sweet, isn't it? A bit ironic considering my irascible personality but still, it's very sweet of her to give it to me. Thanks Laura.

I in turn award this award to all the Canadian females on my blog roll. You ladies bring me sunshine 365 days a year.

Wings and Calvin both gave me this award at different times in the past few weeks:
And that proves yet again that great minds think alike. Thanks guys, your blogs are pretty darn spiffy too.

I pass this blog along to everyone on my blog roll with the exception of the ladies who got the first award. It would be unseemly to give you ladies two awards at once, your proprietary heads might swell a bit and we can't have that. But to everyone else, well done! You truly deserve this award!
