Scott Ott and Scrappleface, with all its superb wit, came in second in the 2006 Weblog Awards to Sadly, No!? They’re just a bunch of sniggling jag-offs.
James Lileks appears to have paid his minions well, for he wins the Best Individual Blog, but–come on–Glenn Greenwald in 2nd place?
And Kos beats out LGF as Best Blog by 3000 votes? I guess getting dead people to vote is even easier online than it is in the real world.
Most disheartening of all: Did that Leftist pit of night soil, Raw Sewage, really win as Best Media Blog over newsbusters.org with double the votes?
Sadly, yes.
And Kos beats out LGF as Best Blog by 3000 votes?
They cheated.
I read elsewhere, Small Dead Animals I think, that commenters were discussing and providing instructions at DKos on how to get past the IP filter inorder to stuff the ballot box, which if true might explain the sudden surge of votes that propelled Dkos into first place. I think official results are to be posted Monday, it will be interesting to see how the current results compare.
LGF provided links to the Kos site’s descriptions of how to jigger the vote.
Funny how leftists pump up theories on how the GOP is trying to throw elections with electronic voting (and that pernicious, racist voter ID law; imagine, forcing people to prove their identity so they could vote!), but eagerly pass along how-tos to commit vote fraud themselves.
They’ll do it every time!
Thus amply demonstrating why weblog awards are (not to put too fine a point on it) bullshit.
Piled high and deep.
Blog awards jumped the shark before the first round of voting ended.
Sadly, No! is a humor blog?
I thought it was an Adlerian psych blog. Man, I need to get out more.
Has Raw Story, and their crack reporter, Larisa Andronova, ever gotten anything right; re the
Plame/Libby story; or anything else. How does
someone who when last we saw, was representing
a legal version of David Duke; and seems to have
missed most issues of telecommications, military
tribunal ( ex parte Quirin, Merryman, Eisentrager
et al) and other policy issues really become
an authority
Oh, come on guys, it’s starting to sound like the Dimmocratic Underground in here. They won because they won, no big deal. These awards don’t mean shit to anyone we devoted readers anyway, so who cares?
