Vote Early, Vote Often

Vote by clicking the link below.  Then tell your friends
In a bizarre twist of fate Largely the Truth has been nominated for two West Coast Social Media, or "Westie", awards - Funniest Tweet, for "It's like The Omega Man out here except instead of vampires I keep running into feral packs of douchebags", and Best Blog.

Voting has opened and though I do not have a naturally competitive nature I feel compelled to crush those who oppose me.  You can help me do so by clicking here and voting (will open a new window).

Update:

As a former sixth grade student council president I'm no stranger to the campaign trail but even I was shocked and saddened to find "attack politics" being used for such a minor prize.  Watch the video but don't be swayed by their smooth talk.

What is it that makes Victoria so special?  It could be any number of things I suppose: a mild climate, clean streets, or the Mr. Magoo-like way city hall overlooks the thriving sex and drug trades while fussing over how new downtown liquor licenses will affect public morality.  Perhaps it’s the way so many talented people nod knowingly when the discussion turns to the job market and how it’s harder to get into than Doris Day’s business back when the getting was good.  Or the heartstring-tugging way they wave goodbye, like kids on the way to a weekend at their mother’s, when’ve run out of money and steam and they light out for points east, taking all their enthusiasm and creativity with them.
