Granny Boo of has honored IMAO with the “Putting the EXTREME in Right-Wing Extremists – an Award From the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy” Award.

Now, the official report says that there are 2 kinds of right-wing extremists: those that hate minorities, and those that hate the government.

I like to think that we at IMAO are a third type: extremists of love.

We love punching hippies.

And as Barry Goldwater once said, “extremism in the defense of punching hippies is no vice”.

Gradual Dazzle of Anywhere But Here has honored IMAO with the “Best Use of Red & Black Color Scheme in a Blog” Award.

I’m a late-comer to IMAO, so Frank gets all the credit on this one. Still, it begs the question – why DID Frank choose red & black?:

a) his sublimated checkerboard fetish

b) his love of obscure Blue Oyster Cult tunes

c) he’s a HUGE Stendhal fan. Then again, who isn’t?

d) his unhealthy obsession with self-balancing binary search trees that 10 years of therapy have still not quite cured.

Hart of That Hero has honored IMAO with the “Prettier Than Olbermann!” Award.

Flattered, as always. We’ll just set this one right next to the “Dryer Than Water!”, “Smarter Than An Anvil!”, and “Thinner Than Michael Moore!” awards.

I note that this is the first one of these that Hart has handed out. I’m nominating this blog for the second.

AlanABQ has honored IMAO with the “Buddy Jesus Says: You Are Alriiiiiiight!” Award.

Catholicism WOW! I gotta give credit for earning this award to Frank, since he’s the wine & wafers guy around here. Due to my absence of belief system, I end up spending most of my time dodging the many lightning bolts that keep striking within 50 feet of me. Which is just pure, random chance, of course. It’s not like I’ve ever done anything even remotely blasphemous.

PammyV of Right Wing Chick has honored IMAO with the “This Blog Is Traditional Right Wing Homeschooling Mom Approved” Award.

IMAO has all the wholesome goodness of a Wonder Bread and Kraft American Pasteurized Prepared Cheese Product sandwich, but with only half the fat and calories. No wonder Moms love it!

NunyaB of Why Sarah Palin Is So Freaking Awesome has honored IMAO with the “Freaking Awesome? You Betcha!” Award.

You ever see that look that nerdy guys get when some totally hot chick asks them what time it is, and their legs start trembling and you can tell they’re wishing that Star Wars was real so that they could use the Jedi Mind Trick on themselves in order to answer the girl’s question in something besides a nervous squeak?

Sarah Palin makes me feel like that ALL THE TIME.

Kevin of Exurban League has honored IMAO with the “Lunar Renewal Agency Award of Merit Award – ‘For your tireless efforts to bring light to the dark side of the moon'” Award.

Well, SOMEBODY’S gotta do it, because the Lunar Renewal Agency has been sitting on its hands for decades now. The dark side of the moon has been dark since 1973, and it’s WAY past time someone did something about it.

Rusty of Musings of a Nut Job has honored IMAO with the “Mutagenics Honorary Tentacle – Awarded to IMAO for Innovative Dinosaur Research” Award.

In addition to bringing about world peace through the use of dinosaur-mounted rocket launchers, IMAO also hopes to end world hunger by making protein-rich dinosaur eggs widely available for consumption as food. Low in cholesterol, one Tyrannosaur egg can feed an entire Somali village, thus also ending the scourge of piracy.

The Department of Homeland Security – via its lickspittle toady Rev. Right of America is an Obamanation – has honored IMAO with the “WARNING! Extreme Right-Wing Website Dangerous Thought Content” Award.

Personally I don’t think IMAO has earned this award, since this site hasn’t recruited a veteran in over 5 years, but unlike Ms. Napolitano, I don’t consider myself qualified to say what’s right and what’s wrong, so I’ll just take what I’m given and like it.

Peren of International Biscuits to Virtual Rodents has honored IMAO with the “Pat Sajak Approves of This Blog” Award.

At first I thought “Pat? Who cares! I wanna know if Vanna’s into me… even though she’s been getting kinda uppity since Pat started letting her talk on the show instead of just turn letters.”

But then a light went on in my head, and I remembered that Pat is a Hollywood-hating right-wing extremist who thinks man-made global warming is a wad of hooey.

IMAO humbly accepts his approval.

Liberexmachina of Liber Ex Machina has honored IMAO with the “Liber Ex Machina ‘I Kan Reed’ Barely Literate Award” Award.

Man, I thought awards with big words were bad. Now they’re tossing out Ancient Italian lingo.

Regardless, we at IMAO are flattered to receive an award that no left wing blog will EVER be good enough to win.

Pork & Beans has honored IMAO with the “Cannon Manufacturers of America Top Site Award” Award, based mainly on our support of the Mexi-Cannon project:

Now I know the Department of Homeland Security says that being concerned about illegal immigration is a sign of right-wing extremism, but IMAO’s Mexi-Cannon actually DOES something about it – cheaply and effectively – which is a sign of right-wing efficiencyism.

Don’t get those two confused.
