Innagural Moats Award
A friend of mine from college, David Groshoff, used to bestow ”awards” on his blog to examples of stupid behavior demonstrating that the causes he fought against were unjust. The most popular award, ironically “honoring” a politician opposed to gay rights, was frequently given to heterosexual parents caging their children, leaving them at home alone for two weeks with only dog food to eat, etc. The point he was trying to make was that those who think that homosexuals are unfit to raise children weren’t exactly doing a bang-up job either.
LOUISSTONE.COM whipping boy, Bob Moats, is legendary for the things he has done under the influence of alcohol. A 10-year period of his life can be written up as a cautionary tale on the ills of drinking that could cause mass conversions to Mormonism. Bob is not an alcoholic. He is a good guy, who at his peak, had a little too much fun when the scotch was poured. Bob’s legend reached cult status some 11 (?) years ago when he brought home a lady after a night of drinking -that was a pig in shoes - to be kind. To this day (and he’s married!) he receives the occasional teasing over his evening with the “Bush League B*tch”.
Activist types like to blame alcohol for a littany problems in society. I have always said that it’s not the booze but the drinker that’s the problem. The Moats Award, will therefore be given to great examples of purity and intellect that occcur clean and sober. Perhaps demonstrating that you don’t have to have tied one on to be a complete idiot.
