Orville Freeman Would Be Proud. Or Sad.
By Mitch Berg
I’m proud to announce the winners of the “Write Lori Sturdevant’s GOP Conventi0n Column” contest!
It was the tightest contest in the history of Shot In The Dark, with my evil twin brother Jed’s “Anger Close” barely tipping Dave from Mound’s “A Tale Of Two Cities“, by a total of two votes. Speed Gibson’s “It’s The GOP’s Turn To Unify” came in a close third.
Thanks to everyone for participating!

A Berg wins a Shot in the Dark contest? “Things that make you go ‘hmmm…'” as Arsenio would say. But it was a fun exercise nonetheless and you’re kind to call my entry a close third. Looking at her actual column, I now see that I should have added considerably more snark.
Next time, Jed & Dave!

Credit where credit is due. To the winner go the spoils. Maybe next time I could train harder, i.e. read more Lori Sturdevant columns, but then I would need to take anti-nausea drugs every day.

Congrats to Jed. I forgot to work in references to Rolvaag and such. That’s a big miss.

I would have voted for Dave, but nepotism reigns, so I had to vote for JW. Better luck next time.

At least I wasn’t shutout.
