This week, I accepted the People's Voice Webby Award for the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Online Video Series. Since the fans themselves voted on this award, winning it felt like such an honor.

Lots of memorable moments at this year's Webby Awards. It was great having some of our HuffPost Politics team make the trip up from DC to celebrate our wins as Best Politics Site and Best Political Blog. I particularly enjoyed the way the organizers of the event paired people from the new media with people from the traditional media -- concluding with Martha Stewart presenting the Breakout of the Year award to Twitter cofounder Biz Stone (his five word acceptance speech: "Creativity is a renewable resource"). As for my five-word speech, I ended up going with: "I didn't kill newspapers...okay?" READ MORE I'll be guest hosting CNBC's Squawk Box Wednesday morning 7-9 am EDT, and will be interviewing Nassim Taleb, Jim Grant, and Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis). I'd love to have your help deciding what to ask them. Please post your suggested questions in the comments section.

On Friday, I asked for suggestions for the 5-word acceptance speech I should give at tonight's Webby Awards. Your response has been tremendous: over 1,000 suggestions so far. We are still debating which one I should use. Click here to see our favorites. Let me know which one you prefer -- or, if you think you can do better, add a new suggestion of your own. This will be a game-time decision!

Listening to Liz Cheney falsely suggest that President Obama wants to deal with terrorists by "hand-holding," and falsely insist that her father never suggested there was a link between 9/11 and Iraq made me wish that TV execs were planning to do a political version of I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! I'd much rather see Cheney put a tarantula in her mouth (a la Patti Blagojevich) than continually sticking her foot there. She could be joined in the jungle by fellow foot muncher Sen. Jeff Sessions, who demonstrated the value of empathy when he showed none, reacting to the tears of a 12-year old boy whose mother is facing deportation by saying, "Enough with the histrionics." And there is still time to suggest the 5-word acceptance speech I should give at tomorrow's Webby Awards.

Monday night in New York, HuffPost will receive two Webby Awards. As always, award winners only get five words for their acceptance speeches, and I would love to get your input again this year.
