Cast your ballot before the polls close Sunday night.

We had a New Year's party, complete with booze, ham, fireworks and the first-ever West Coast Ballot Box for A.H.O.Y., the annual Asshole Of The Year Poll. In the hope that they will inspire even one person to click over and vote, here are the ballots we collected. Special thanks the hardworking Ann Thrope, who tabulated votes on-site--with a paper trail--and declared that Tom DeLay won the night. Congratulations, Congressman! Voting closes January 8th.

Another New Year's honor that mustn't go unmentioned: The Bar Man completed his epic quest to drink in 1000 Bars in 2005. Hip hip hooray, heroic Bar Man! We may ne'er see your like again!
Also: I was doing this month-by-month 2005 In Review, but by the time I recapped May it suddenly turned into horrible drudgery. So forget 2005, OK? The past is for losers! On to Oh-Six! (But vote in A.H.O.Y.!)
Asshole of the Year voting ends Sunday! Drop everything and
