Although I didn’t put an “official” closing date on the Face Off poll (you have to pay for premium service to enable that function, and I just don’t have that kind of coin!), please allow this post to serve as Official Notice that the poll is now CLOSED.
You do not have to send a self-addressed, stamped envelope (SASE) to get the results. I will just tell you. It is, after all, Sunday, and I’m feeling very loving, giving, and magnanimous. (Never mind that you can just read the results for yourself online, you lazy, no-good ne’er-do-wells.) I will also tell you how I voted.
The winner, with 75 of the 145 votes (51.72% of the total)*, is ten-dollar pretty boy Alexander Hamilton. (You can figure out how many votes twenty-dollar hunk Andrew Jackson got by applying a very complicated mathematical formula that I won’t divulge. There is, after all, only so much I’m willing to do for you.)
Hamilton also happened to be my choice. He has a certain Paul Newman look that appeals to me. And no, I did not stuff the ballot box so he would win. I only voted once. I am, after all, and above all, honest. (Like Abraham Lincoln. Who, by the way, although a nice enough President, was not good-looking enough to be included in the competition.)
Side Note: My dear friend, the inimitable Mad Genius, took more than these fine fellows’ looks into consideration. Said MG, “I had to vote for Jackson. Sure! They are both hot and hung. Jackson just buys you twice as many trinkets!” MG, apparently, can be bought.
* A margin remarkably similar to that of the last season of “American Idol”!
