I was also nominated here: Wampum: The Koufax Awards: Best New Blog by the kind and brilliant Jonathan Edelstein of Head Heeb. The Koufax Awards are for best leftie blogs (Sandy Koufax was a left-handed baseball pitcher).
If you felt like being "high school" and voting for your friends, you could click the nomination link and vote for me. It's a popularity contest in which merit does rise to the top (some of the competition includes James Wolcott, who is a fine journalist and pulls the race out of the amateur into the stratosphere). I don't think my blog is "better" than many of the nominees, which are big deal, well researched, well written blogs. If you don't feel like voting for me, I'll survive. I just like being part of it all.
It's also nice to get a feel for new blogs I haven't noticed yet. The number is overwhelming, but when many people vote for the same blog with alacrity, it grabs the attention.
Meanwhile, please read the Head Heeb and consider voting for Jonathan Edelstein for Best Writing and/or Most Deserving of Wider Recognition.
