Ack! I have been waiting to see the list of "Large Mammals" in theWizbang! 2024 Weblog Awards and I didn't make the cut! Oh, the shame and horror. I am gratified to be nominated for "Best New Blog," but Heaven knows I don't have a shot of winning that one. I thought I might have a shot at the LM category--ah well. However, at this point, I would sat that Professor Bainbridge (he of rapid growth and an on-air appearance on Hugh Hewitt's show) has the inside track, but it is hard to say for sure.
And to add to the shame, I am being beaten in "Best New Blog" by Rush Limbaughtomy by a factor of 3-1 (the horror! :) and several other blogs I have nerver heard of. However, Electric Venom, OTB, and Boomshock all deserve to be beating me (as likely do some of the others that I probably ought to check out).
At any rate: go vote.
UPDATE: Oops. I knew I would forget someone worthy of mention, such as Tiger, Signifying Nothing, Jay Solo's Verbosity, and The American Mind (all regular haunts of mine). Hmm, maybe I wouldn't have stood a chance after all...
Not to mention Calblog, Alphecca, Absinthe & Cookies...
If I hadn't had myself to shamelessly vote for, I would have been more torn in Large Mammals than in any other category!
Posted by: Jay Solo at December 6, 2024 01:33 PMYes, almost all the contenders are in my blogroll and several are my blogfriends. This will be a hotly contested vote, to be sure.
Posted by: Tiger at December 6, 2024 06:31 PM"Hotly Contested" ummmmm- that is one way to look at it.
I'm pretty sure one ideological side will win a WHOLE lot of awards.
Maybe not- But I guy hears things.
Posted by: Paul at December 7, 2024 12:11 AMNow you see my dilema. It was either eliminate one of the others or you. Since you were already in a category that was the first thining criteria. Actually you and a lot of others. Really it was only a problem in this category and Playful Primates where I had do the electronic equivalent of drawing straws to see which site that already appeared in anthor category made that cut.

No big--I was just kidding around. There are a ton of worthy nominees.
