Okay, so the writers on a roll now, despite my impassioned plea to Remember Old Dirty Bastard yesterday. Clearly I have no impact on these proceedings, and not enough of my moron friends are voting.
Be that as it may, today's matchup should be interesting: Patrick Swayze vs. Steve Almond
One is known for his smart, funny short stories. The other is known for his dumb, long movies. One created the best short story title of all time, "The Idea of Michael Jackson's Dick." The other starred in the best bad movie of all time, "Road House" (as well as number two, "Point Break").
Both have been featured quite prominently in the pages of Barrelhouse, although we would ask you to not hold that against either one of these accomplished artists.
Since my endorsement clearly means nothing, and I'm torn on this one myself, and since its worked out so well in our past two presidential elections, we'll let The People sort out who is better in every way.
Have at it.

Swayze sure is having his way with Steve Almond.
And there's a sentence I never imagined I'd have to type.
Absolutely no comparison. Swayze can make girls fall in love with him by swishing his hips and mullet simultaneously. I, for one, am powerless under his spell.
