Interesting that the day after the hardworking staff treated Seamus Sweepstakes™ winner Michael Pahre to a lavish lunch as his grand prize, New York Times columnist Gail Collins actually wrote a piece that mentioned Mitt Romney but not his cartop pooch.
And so Seamus Sweepstakes The Sequel™ goes down in history with no winner – and no entries, either.
Not to get technical about it.
Or bitter.
UPDATE: Just wrong, as the splendid commenters point out.

Did you speed-read today’s Gail Collins column? She DID in fact make reference to travelling with “a dog” strapped to the roof of a car, just not Seamus by name. Is that supposed to be the deal…his name?
No – just a brain freeze.
Yup. Seamus was definitely in there.
I swear some alien took over the column last night. Thanks for the reality check.
Maybe it was a late-night rewrite of the column by the night editor who realized that Collins must have inadvertently left out a Seamus reference.
Delightful lunch. Many thanks!
Thanks, Mike. I feel better already.
An hour on the roof of the car for your oversight, John. And wear the Irish setter wig.
And 20 lashes with a dog leash while we’re at it, Mudge.
