STOP THE PRESSES!!!!!!!!!!!

I mis-spoke. I said Sisyphus was a Roman legend. It is also a Greek legend! He was the king of Corinth, a city of ancient Greece, and punished by the interchangeable Roman/Greek gods.

Sisyphus (SIS-i-fus) King of Corinth, condemned in Tartarus to an eternity of rolling a boulder uphill then watching it roll back down again.

I second my vote for the "Sissies"!!!!!

I also think the myth is appropriate-- the Greeks deserving of this award go to great lengths to do big things (the wrong things!) and watch their reputation (and ours, unfortunately) take 1 step forward... and 20 steps back!

Go Sissies Go
