Yet another reason for despair

The Koufax nominations are up after what seems like a prolonged two week absence. Now that Joe Klein is blogging I have no fucking chance of even being nominated in any category, let alone for humor. After all, I hardly ever write comedy skits as memorable as he does. I can't even grow a half-way decent 'Arafat' beard. When compared to such profundity, my status as just a doughy-midwestern boy with a blog and a dream loses whatever desperate cry for help magic it posseses.

But at least it will spare me a loss to Rachel Ray who is pretty much guaranteed to carry off the award, along with a Nobel Prize for 30-minute cooking.

Sigh, why do I even bother anymore?
