The Big "I" Awards

I am instituting a new award, to be given as needed, to be known as the Big "I" (as in idiot) Award.

The current nominees are:

• Chrissie Hynde:

  Between songs, the pugnacious Hynde… opined that she hopes the United States loses if it goes to war with Iraq ("Bring it on! Give us what we deserve!"),

• The Human Shields stuck in Beirut:

  Two red double decker buses and a white London taxi that ferried anti-war activists to Baghdad to serve as "human shields" are stranded in Beirut with their owner short of the $5,500 it costs to ship them home.

• The New Zealand woman who wants Bush to Crucify Here:

  A woman in New Zealand says she wants President Bush to understand the kind of pain and suffering a war with Iraq would cause.

  She wants Bush to crucify her -- on live television.

• The Woman who thinks that being human shields would make a great class project

  Political science, religious studies, sociology and global studies classes in colleges and universities might consider participating in the human shield as a course project for those who are willing.

Vote via the Comments link (and yes, I know it is a hard choice).
