Awards, Honors, Laurels.



It is that time of year again.

The season begins with 2006 Weblog Awards, and under the figleaf of “public service” I am going to save myself some sweet keystrokes and shamelessly lift the source HTML that Misty (over at the renowned “Shakespeare’s Sister”) was kind enough to put together.

So drumroll please...

...Chicago-style :-)


Shakes Sis is a finalist in the Best Liberal Blog category for the 2006 Weblog Awards!

A big CONGRATS also go out to the following Shakers:

Konagod for Best New Blog

Lindsay Beyerstein for Best Individual Blog

Jon Swift for Best Humor Blog

Sadly, No! for Best Humor Blog

skippy for Best Liberal Blog

Pam for Best LGBT Blog

Michael Bérubé for Best Education Blog

Tom for Best Culture Blog

Crooks & Liars for Best Video Blog

Feministe for Best of the Top 250

Orcinus for Best of the Top 250

Laura for Best of the Top 3501 - 5000 Blogs

Blue Gal for Best of the Top 3501 - 5000 Blogs

Deborah for Best of the Rest of the Blogs (8751+)

Other blogs in the Best Liberal Blog category:

Pandagon
Think Progress
Eschaton
The Rude Pundit
Jesus' General
Bring It On!
Hullabaloo
Bitch Ph.D.
Legal Fiction



These are some awfully good writers and blogs, and in the nondenominational categories some of the Good Guys (Like Subcommander Markos) are pitted against various black hats (such as Malkin and Instawanker).

So if voting for awards is an activity you engage in, hie your dirty hippy ass over there and let 'em know you aren't on a post-November 7th nod.

Drifty,

Your link takes me to some page that says voting starts Thursday. Here's a link to the future where you can vote today.

Steve,
recognition of your considerable skills is in no way meant to degrade!

And if you do win I'll send you a big bud of the finest VT of the year.


DG, you will always get my vote.
Running or not.

Yeah, a conspicuous absence.

Anybody but me think that there's a bit of a rightward tilt to the nominations? I mean 5 to 2 in best blog... Though it is interesting that 7 of the 10 best blog contenders are political by nature. I guess this blogging thing does really lend itself to that. Not to mention their "centrist" category, althouse and QandO are not centrist. Get-off-my-lawn-or-I'll-shoot-you libertarians are not centrist. Jeez.

That said, let's gotv and whup 'em good.
