Winners and Losers


After weeks of Barguments Blog polls, we can draw some conclusions about who's up and who's down in bars across America.


WINNER: Alcohol.

An overwhelming 66 percent of Barguments Blog readers opted to give up sugar instead of alcohol.


LOSER: Nancy Grace.

Asked to chain themselves to one of three celebrities, 16 readers picked conservative commentator Ann Coulter and 14 picked Rosie O'Donnell. Only two chose the occasionally rabid ex-prosecutor.


WINNER: Barack Obama.

He won the most beers in the bargument: Which presidential candidate would you most like to have a drink with? John McCain came in second. Super Tuesday bellweather contest?


LOSER: Lance Bass.

Only one person picked the ex-*NSyncer when asked to choose among four celebrities to be trapped inside an elevator with. Mary Kate Olsen narrowly beat out Tom Cruise and Martha Stewart in that contest.

To be fair, many people may not have recalled exactly who Lance Bass is. He and I happen to have the same book editor at Simon Spotlight Entertainment, so I consider him a fierce rival in the publishing arena. He's unaware I exist.


WINNER: Domestic Robots

Even as Rosie, the Jetson family's robotic housekeeper, leads the latest Barguments Blog poll (pick your favorite robot), loyal reader Johnny Scrappleseed weighs in with this nominee: "What about Irona, Richie Rich's robot maid?"


Sorry, KITT.
