FIB Awards 2005: Nominations Open
Yeah, yeah, I hear you guys. I have been wasting too much time on Silverstein. But just bear with me for this final post on the subject.
As you know, poor little Richard wants attention. And he feels left out at not having been nominated for the JIBs, which are evil anyway since they are obviously infiltrated by insidious neocon elements. I have therefore decided to launch a new blog awards to accomodate the old coot.
Introducing the FIBs – F*** Israel Blog awards.
The FIBs are designed to highlight those Jewish blogs whose approach to Israel is “F*** ‘em!.” The word FIB, besides being an acronym for F**** Israel blog, also means ”lie”. For eligible blogs achieve their goal of slandering Israel and her supporters through lies, falsehood, distortions, and dishonesty.
Nominations will be taken for the following categories:
Best Blog Exposing the Neocon Agenda
Best Blog Dealing With Corruption in the JIB Awards
Highest Ranked Blog in Google Rankings
Best Apron Photo Blog
Good luck to all contestants.

I would say, Dave, that I share the sentiment expressed by Woland here:

You are playing into Silverstein’s hands, IMHO. That, aside of confessing that he succeeded to get under your skin.
Cheers.
Thanks for your opinion, and perhaps he did get under my skin a bit. Being accused of some pretty terrible things can do that to a person (even if the accusations come from someone as insignificant and and ignorant as Dick).
Be that as it may, I think my FIBs concept is a humorous way to get my point across, and show off the graphical skills of my “anonymous” friend.
Now back to business.
I probablly let him take too much of my time away too. Either way, I said what I thought needed to be said about him, and that’s that.
As for your final swing at Dick, I’m glad you did, the FIB thing is pretty funny (and what is sick is that he might actually take your idea and run with it).
very funny…and great art work by your anonymous friend….
that anonymous friend was me. i don’t care who knows. Richard Silverstein has since proven to be a complete idiot and I no longer care if I offend him or not.
[...] So he didn’t win the Brass, but he certainly qualifies for something that rhymes with it. And let’s not forget the fact he has his own awards competition. [...]
