Negative Campaign Ad
This year when you vote in the Funniest Catholic Blog category of the Catholic Blog Awards do you know who you are voting for?
While the Ironic Catholic has a delightfully funny blog, just how much do we know about her? Why is her blog anonymous? What is she hiding? Would we find it Ironic that she is a Catholic if we knew her?
Happy Catholic is another great blog and Julie D. provides both smiles and great insights. But I have it on good authority that she once didn't say grace before a meal.
Paul Nichols at the Catholic Cartoon Blog is one funny guy, but did you know he was born with original sin?
Gerald at The Cafeteria is Closed provides great coverage of the Church and has concluded with many a humorous line. But did you know that he named his blog after something Maureen Dowd wrote in a column? Can you truly trust someone who is such a devotee of Maureen Dowd that he would take his blog name from something she has written?
The Ox Files is a superb parody blog especially on liturgical matters, but opposition research has found that sometimes The Dumb Ox is distracted in prayer.
Kathy Shaidle at Relapsed Catholic has a wit sharper than a Ginzu knife and headlines that regularly invoke laughter, but did you realize that she regularly writes more about Islam than Christianity? Can you really trust a blog named Relapsed Catholic?
Fr. Erik Richtsteig at Orthometer is one funny priest, but shouldn't he be praying, visiting the sick, or something instead of making us laugh so regularly?
The Shrine of the Holy Whapping is surely the funniest group blog, but did you know that their members only put in a buck or some loose change when the collection basket comes around?
If you vote for the Curt Jester I promise you a 20 percent increase in guffaws and a rubber chicken in every pot.
I'm the Curt Jester and I approve this message.
Known as 
Hilarious! Good thing I voted before I read your ad :)
Gee Jeff, it seems as if you're stumping for Funniest Blog. Too bad I voted you Most Spiritual.
;)
I already voted for you, but now I know I was right to do so.
I assume that you won't be campaigning on election day and that all your ads will be removed from the internet.
Campaigning on Election Day could disqualify you from the vote counting.
Hysterical!
Love hearing your sea stories at the scuttlebutt.

Ya got my vote.
O.K., I voted, already. Are you happy now? Geesh. (It's like taxes. Something you don't do til the last minute. Only more fun than filing a tax return. At least, for me.)
You forgot The Curt Jester - a very, very funny thinking Catholic's blog, but did you know that the Curt Jester has committed venial sins?
I was going to vote straight ticket for you until I started looking at all the other candidates you linked to that I didn't know existed. Thanks for giving me more choices. You're a true democrat (little "d")!
I realize I have to put a lot more thought into this voting thing.
I am just new to reading Catholic blogs.
Regarding Relapsed Catholic not sure if she is born-Canadian but I thought she lives in Canada.
I didn't think you could be Canadian and a Catholic at the same time.
Isn't that's an oxymoron.

Teresa...I'm a Canadian and Catholic...why would that be an oxymoron?
Teresa wait...YOU are Mrs. Bear !!!
Jeff,
Sorry I didn't respond to your post sooner, I had to say the morning MASS, then I had to have coffee with PARISHIONERS, then I had to celebrate a FUNERAL. I will not stoop to negative campaigning. I won't mention anything about the Jester persona REALLY being inspired by your Clown Mass attendance. :)
Angela, don't tell everyone that!
And don't mention my nationality. LOL!
Pax Christi,
Teresa B.
hmmm...
OK, In interests of full disclosure, I am posting an honest to goodness picture of me here:

p.s. Ray of MN knows who I am, we even went to church together...but he has sworn to hold this secret identity game to the death. Good job, Ray! Your reward will be great.... ;)
This is good news.
Too late, you already got my vote.
I'll be a good yellow dog democrat and vote again!
Do you have a 527 I could contribute to?
I voted, I voted! There are four members of the Feline Theocracy in the contest. Thank God there are so many categories so I could vote for each at least once.
And you might wanna watch out for those Christus Vincit boys... way too much use of the word "snark" (LMAO!)
You could use a Latin ditty like:
Ego sum "Curt Jester", et hanc verbum adscripto.
BMP
Dude, I could never vote for someone born with original sin. Ohhhh wait... too late. :)
