The soon-to-be-legendary Vote-O-Matic™ has been loaded up with the few nom-inations that the committee entered between "laying out," firing up the grille & mowing the lawn. No world beaters in the list, but a few to think about nonetheless.

The Secret Access Code this week is Lame Duckitude.

The Ad Hoc Emergency Committee is planning a special ballot in the near future, so this is likely to be the last regular Nom d'Aplomb voting for the current fiscal year.

So, as always, vote early, vote often & don't forget to let the amoebas swimming around in your lettuce crisper vote, too!
