It's time to deliver a few kicks to the throat

I haven't posted anything in a while but I had to come back for the 2nd Annual Kick Them in the Throat Awards. If you don't know what I am talking about let me give you a quick introduction.

The Kick Them in the Throat Awards, a.k.a. "The Throaties", are given to people that need some sense knocked into them. However these people are so far gone that they need more than a smack upside the head. They need to be kicked right in their throat. Because when you can't breathe, you have time to re-evaluate your life. I gave out the first ones last year and unfortunately there are still plenty more to dish out in 2006.

Here is a brief rundown of some people that could be feeling my size 12 against their windpipes.

Entertainers (singers, actors, etc.)- Tom Cruise won last year. Michael Richards, Mel Gibson, Kevin Federline are all in the running for 2006.

Sports stars - T.O. was last year's winner and he could repeat this '06.

Politics (National) - John Kerry shouldn't tell jokes and George Bush shouldn't talk at all.

Politics (State and Local) - There are so many choose from I might need to buy extra pairs of shoes. Richmond County School Board, the County Commission, and the Downtown Development Authority could all be part of a “Kick Them in the Throat" orgy.

International Throat Kicks – North Korean leader Kim Jong-il, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and of course Osama Bin Laden make up my “Axis of Throat Kicking".

Miscellaneous (National) - I don't advocate violence against women but Ann Coulter needs a HARD kick to the Throat.

Miscellaneous (State and Local) – The debacle that was the James Brown Soul of America Music Festival makes Charles “Champ" Walker a front-runner for this award. Radio personalities Ryan B. and Austin Rhodes are also strong contenders.

This is by no means a complete list and I would appreciate some help in adding to it. I am sure that you all know a few folks than need to be put in their place. So make you list and tell me who you think deserves a Throatie Award.

Over the next few days I will announce the official contenders. Then, after a little thought and a lot of alcohol, and will select the winners before the New Year.

Help me deliver the kicks of 2006.
