The 2016 Paul Revere Awards Are In

You LIKE me! You really LIKE me!! Well, some of you anyway! The Paul Revere award, created by Photoshop Superstar "Curmudgeon" over at Political Clown Parade, is to recognize the efforts of bloggers who aren't (yet) exactly household names.

Our award honors these bloggers because they, like Paul Revere, were not born to wealth.  They are ordinary men and women who are involved citizens keeping their readers informed of events which may touch their lives.

You may have noticed the badge over in the sidebar (we don't need no stinking badges!) that links over the the award and the other 19 recipients. It is simply an ugly rumor that the reason there are no more than 20 recipients is because she ran out of fingers and toes!

We at Proof Positive are grateful for the recognition, and will ever strive to uphold the high standards of this award. Congratulations to one and all recipients of the award this year!

Another Thrilla from the Zilla!

As Rod Serling used to say, for your consideration... Proof Positive is the recipient of a 2011 Zilla Award for Awesomeness in the Dextrosphere!

Zilla Stevenson of Zilla of the Resistance, chose us to share the honor of

Best Weekly Round-up of Fellow Bloggers' Blog Posts: Conservative Hideout, Teresamerica, Proof Positive, and Eye of Polyphemous

I consider keeping my readers abreast of the good stuff, in the midst of information overload, a public service. It does become a bit tedious at times, so it's nice to get a little recognition for the effort.

Nobel Peace Prize Losers 2009

In case you were wondering if someone more worthy than The One™ was passed over for a Nobel Peace Prize, consider the following:

Sima Samar, women’s rights activist in Afghanistan: “With dogged persistence and at great personal risk, she kept her schools and clinics open in Afghanistan even during the most repressive days of the Taliban regime, whose laws prohibited the education of girls past the age of eight. When the Taliban fell, Samar returned to Kabul and accepted the post of Minister for Women’s Affairs.”

Ingrid Betancourt: French-Colombian ex-hostage held for six years.

“Dr. Denis Mukwege: Doctor, founder and head of Panzi Hospital in Bukavu, Democratic Republic of Congo. He has dedicated his life to helping Congolese women and girls who are victims of gang rape and brutal sexual violence.”

Handicap International and Cluster Munition Coalition: “These organizations are recognized for their consistently serious efforts to clean up cluster bombs, also known as land mines. Innocent civilians are regularly killed worldwide because the unseen bombs explode when stepped upon.”

“Hu Jia, a human rights activist and an outspoken critic of the Chinese government, who was sentenced last year to a three-and-a-half-year prison term for ‘inciting subversion of state power.’”

“Wei Jingsheng, who spent 17 years in Chinese prisons for urging reforms of China’s communist system. He now lives in the United States.”

Hmm...Seventeen years in a Chinese prison vs. eleven days playing Chinese fire drill in the White House... Tough decision!
