Best Individual Blog 2008 Finalist
Jules Crittenden — ... Very flattering, and thanks are in order to those of you who kindly nominated this site . However … since losing to a site several years ago (that got a major assist from the DU and various GLBT sites, which is fine, but) that did not in fact meet the contest criteria of “new blog,” having existed six months ahead of the cutoff, and being informed by the awards organizer that the rules violation didn’t seem worth upsetting the applecart over, I decided popularity contests that ignore their own rules are not worth participating in. Particularly when there is no money involved. ...

THE HOUSE MAKES THE WEBLOG AWARD FINALS
Right Wing Nut House — I am pleased to announce that this blog has been named as a finalist for “Best Conservative Blog” in the 2009 Weblog Awards. The last time I was a finalist was in 2005, also for Best Conservative Blog. No doubt this surprises some of you as much as it surprised me. Still, I’m pleased that the Awards Committee saw fit to include me as a finalist this year. No doubt I will finish last or next to last given the quality of the competition:  ...

2008 Weblog Awards
Argghhh! The Home Of Two Of Jonah's Military Guys.. — ... Awards is finally off and running, meaning Kevin Aylward is running around with his hair on fire. Oddly enough, after a two-year absence from the awards, not being a premier milblog anymore, just kind of a place to hang-out frequented by old veterans and their groupies, with some guns hanging on the wall, we didn't even know that someone had nominated us. To whoever that was, thanks! Not in the milblog category, mind you. No. Save your scrolling finger some effort, and open the 2008 Weblog Awards link and yank it all the way to the bottom and scroll up... trust me, your ...

The BRAD BLOG — ... towards the finish line of a particularly harrowing and exhausting year, we're heartened by a very nice distinction, being named as Finalist in the 2008 Weblog Awards. ...

Happy New Year!
The Sideshow — ... hard to be surprised any more when the NYT echoes the Pentagon's G.I. jingo, but the experience of watching the newspaper of record cut and paste phrases like "a page from the successful experiment in Iraq" is aging poorly. From the outset, a key component of the surge strategy was the propaganda piece that would make it sound "successful" regardless of how it went." I nearly missed the fact that The Sideshow shortlisted for the Best Midsize Blog category in the 2008 Weblog Awards. And we'll have a real good time, yessir!

A Few Random Things
Balloon Juice — ... And, checking my email as I write this, I see that we are a finalist for Best Major Blog in the Weblog Awards. Since I don’t care about these things, and Tim is unmotivated because we are not running against Red State like we were last year, no one will be here to do the relentless pimping that needs to be done to get out the vote. Additionally, we are up against the Instapundit, who has a readership that probably doubles all the other contestants combined. As such, what I have decided to do is to beg each and every one who was inclined to vote for Balloon Juice to go ...

Large, Indeed
Fafblog — It should come as no surprise that this blog has been nominated for a Pretend Internet Award in recognition of its tireless devotion to journalistic excellence, largely coherent grammar and qualified relationship to linear time. Our writers are even now being flown in a private jet to the awards ceremony along with such fellow luminaries as Andrew Sullivan, BritneyBlog and several recycled LOLcats. Never fear, though: success will not change Fafblog. Should we be awarded this highly prestigious distinction, the same team of hard-working bloggers will return the following month ...

It IS an honor to be nominated
Blue Gal — But when you look at the competition in terms of overall stats, it's pretty obvious I'm the little gal in this competition for "best liberal blogger". The blog you're reading right now (thank you) is that blue line hovering at the "zero" mark. This chart only allows me to select five blogs at a time, so it shows the biggest blogs with which I'm nominated. I think the organizers of the Weblog Awards figured that putting my blog in an audience size category, which I won in 2006, would be unfair to the competition. So they ...
