Vote for me

It turns out that someone has found a category he can enter me for over at the Indibloggies

The Examined Life is a contestant for the prestigious Best Tagline Indibloggy. I am pitted against Kingsley, who hasn’t blogged for over six months, and a person called Gopi Sundaram, whom no one knows. So please vote for me.

My tagline, if you find it difficult to read the small print, is “Where I torture reality till it confesses the truth.” I hope you accept that it is an accurate description for what I do.

(The Examined Life is currently accepting bribes in return for endorsements in other categories. Please contact me with your offers. )

    You have it easy. I have TWO of my sites both entered in the “best design” category. They have to fight against each other. :(

    It is a cute tag line, but if I may quibble: reality IS confessing the truth all the while, for screaming out loud. You don’t have to torture it. It is staring you in the face. What is truly amazing is the tenacity of the refusal of the politically-correct loonies to face it.

    Now, if you can invent a tagline that gives the meaning that you badger these purposefully-blind chaps to take a good look at reality, I’ll vote for it.

    “It was I”, said the forgetful one, “I, who nominated thine blog”.

    Oh by the way - Gopi Sundaram is a long time blogger, and was nominated for the funny bloggies last year.

    Thank you CCG. I now seem to have a commanding lead now. I am on my way to victory. RR, you can vote for me just to back the winning horse…

    Madman, just demand that your votes be combined. There is sufficient confusion already over there :)

    Thank you Auntyji. I hereby shine the spotlight on you. I am sure you are much better looking than Ravages ;)

    Six months? You time insensitive usurper! On the other hand, I do agree with part of your tagline: “Where I torture”.
