The Scribo Ergo Sum New Year’s Honours List

After intermittent negotiations between the SES team, the following list in our annual exercise in outright pretension has emerged. Note that negotiations were, in fact, still ongoing at the point of the post, so it may suddenly change. But it really needed to go up today:

Saddest Moment: Too many.

Best Political Decision: Mandleson brought back into Cabinet.
Worst Political Decision: David Davis’ resignation.

The Stephen Fry Award for Unbounded Eloquence: William Hague on EU Treaty.
The Prescott Award for Gobbledegook: Sarah Palin.

Best Photograph: David Miliband and the banana.
Worst Photograph: David Miliband and the banana.

The Sarah Palin Memorial Award for Political Flops: Sarah Palin.

The Mick Hume Shield for Aggressive Failure of Intelligence: Michael Gove.
The Hunter S Thompson Award for Journalism: Penny Red.
The Muffin the Mule Medal for Persistence: Newmania.

The Robin Cook Award for Most Principled Action: None this year.
The David Miliband Award for Political Spinelessness: The Israeli government, for timing its slaughters to provide election boosts.

Event of the Year: Obama’s victory across the pond.
Catastrophe of the Year: The recession.

Scribo Ergo Sum Person of the Year: Barack Obama.

We welcome suggestions for almost anything. Particularly best and worst albums of the year, as we just haven’t discussed them yet…
