Vote (Blogs!) 2008
Snapped Shot — It's that time of year again, a magical time of year in which y'all get to go out and nominate your favorite blogs of the year! I don't want to promote myself too much, but if you enjoy reading this website, I'd appreciate very much if you'd nominate it for Best Small Major Blog, Best Photo Blog, and anything else you think we're good at. I think our design is pretty snazzy, myself, but I'm biased. Aside from my blatant self-promotion, I highly recommend the following blogs: Continue reading ...

2008 Weblog Awards nomination process begins
Sister Toldjah — Nominations are now being accepted in the various categories for the 2008 Weblog Awards. I’ve been honored to be a finalist the last three years, and hope to at least make it at least that far this year … and hopefully even beyond that, finally graduating from blog “bridesmaid” to blog “bride” For those who want to nominate this humble blog, this category is probably the best one to do so in. There are a couple of others, but I’d probably get flattened ...

There were nasty anti-Obama advertisements every commercial break, almost all of them by 527s, I don’t recall seeing McCain campaign-sponsored ads. Of course this was going to happen. McCain himself said he wouldn’t “go there” with Wright, but that doesn’t mean these 527s can’t - and quite frankly, I don’t think this tired old saw is going to work at this point. ** Also, the 2008 Weblog Awards are open for nominations—the Best LGBT category is ...

2008 Weblog Awards Nominations
The American Mind — For the first time in a few years I’m not asking readers to nominate TAM for the Weblog Awards.

2008 Weblog Awards are Back. Nominate Me, Please.
The Sundries Shack — The 2008 Weblog Awards I’ve been a finalist in three of the last four Weblog Awards hosted by the guys at Wizbang, but I’ve yet to taste the sweet, sweet savor of victory. Or even the middle of the pack. This year, though, could be different. This could be the year I win one of those stinking awards! Or not. My world won’t end if I don’t. But it’d be very cool to be a finalist again. I do have a bit of a streak I’d like to maintain. So I’d like it if you’d nominate me for either the Best Up and Coming Blog or the Best Small Minor Blog ...

Julie at Happy Catholic, one of my all-time favorite blogs, seems to have reminded Deacon Greg about the awards, but Deacon Greg - that scoundrel! - did not remind me. So, now, it’s on! Like I ...

This is an auld-phart blog that blogs about things military and other, we really dont fit the milblog niche that well anymore, and there are some really really outstanding military blogs out there that are much more focused than the quirky old Castle. Looking at the nominees for the ...

Cool!! But I sort of feel like TWN just doesn't fit in many of the cool categories very well. Years ago, it might have been listed as Best Blog on John Bolton's Every Move. Or, if there was a category for best Radical Centrist Blog or best Ethical Realist blog, or Best Blog Commenters. . .I might have placed higher up. ...
