As this ill-begotten year dribbles to its merciful end, it is time to reveal the 2009 Iowahawk Man of Year. This award, carrying no monetary recompense, salutes those individuals best exemplifying the spirit of my people, Midwestern-Americans of Unfortunate Intoxication and/or Sexual and/or Automotive Experiences.
It is also time to reveal the 2008 winners because I was too hungover last year. So let's get that out of the way first.
