At midnight tonight, Bronx time, IT IS HIGH bloggers and commenters will launch a 24-hour content-stoppage to protest irregularities in this month's Yankee Employee Of The Month election. The strikers' legitimate concerns center on a hasty, perfunctory nominating process further marred by an escalating series of abuses.
- On Saturday, El Duque solicited nominations.
- That evening, before voters had time to deliberate, he mounted the poll, ignoring most of the few nominations he had collected.
- An immediate and fierce call for a truly representative poll led Duque to post misleading, "anonymous" comments that bear his unmistakably ragged prose style, and--as if those sock-puppet comments weren't travesty enough-- at least one false news story.
- Someone keeps moving the strike notice down the sidebar. Suspicion centers on Duque himself, acting alone.
UPDATE: The strike is on. Don't scab, don't blog, don't comment, don't link. See you Wednesday.

What kind of pinko commie web site is this? Im not joining in on any blogger labor strike.
Im posting all day. God bless America.
Sign your name, Duque.
Leave us alone with your off-the-wall notions! It's people like you who hold back the Yankees.
I'll sign my name, Superfrankenstein.
And here is my comment:
YOU WANT THE YANKEES TO FAIL.
We will not let you ruin our Yankee season. The people will vote! The people know! POWER TO THE PEOPLE! THE PEOPLE WILL SPEAK!
The people will speak tomorrow. With our silence.
El Duckbreath puts ketchup on corned beef and mayonnaise on salami.
He's a ruthless dictator and lies as often as he draws breath.
This blatant power grab will not stand.
Power to the Yankiverse!
Eat it raw!!
This is scary.
