Golden Screw-Up Award

Let's cut right to the chase. Our prestigious nominees this week include:

Al Gore, our earth-lovin', internet-makin', dirty lyric censorin', internal combustion engine bannin' buddy from Tennessee - who enjoys an automatic weekly nomination for just being Al Gore.

Tim Hardaway, the retired NBA star who single-handedly created the worst public relations nightmare since TrimSpa lost Anna Nicole Smith last week. Come on, Tim. Use your brain when you are doing interviews - and while your at it, why don't you try working out some of those hate issues.

Democratic Senator and Presidential Hopeful Barack Obama, who announced his candidacy on Saturday and followed up right away with a statement that soldiers who died in the War on Terror "wasted" their lives.

And the winner is...

Oh, wait, this just in. Senator Obama gets a free pass this week. He gave the media sources something besides Anna Nicole Smith to talk about. Plus, I give him props for ticking Hillary Clinton off so much and ruining her big-time presidential candidacy announcement.

Congratulations, Tim Hardaway. You may hate it, you may think it shouldn't exist in the United States or the world, you may not want to touch one, but you just won a Golden Screw-Up Award. Now go see someone so you can get rid of the hate burning inside you.
