You’re picking the Mod Voice over Althouse for Best Centrist? I may have to stop visiting here….

So many of those blogs I never visit, except when linked to it from blogs I DO visit. Certainly some are very good, but I’m sentimental about the ones I routinely visit, and spend too much time doing so to add any more. I certainly cast a vote for our lovely hostess as often as possible and amongst those good ones in other categories, I’ve decided to first vote for the babes, then, if there’s no babe (that I’m aware of) I’ll try to remember the times I was encouraged to visit by someone I trust, like Sis. When there’s so many good ones, I feel the babe factor is extremely important. Of course I don’t visit cooking blogs and some of the other categories, thus I don’t vote. I wouldn’t vote in the gay category even if I had a favorite (in a know thy enemy kind of way) because I won’t do anything to promote one and validate their existence in the mainstream in any way. It’s sort of like talking to Syria. It gives them credibility. Unless of course it was a lesbian site run by a babe, then maybe. Superficial? Perhaps. But the awards mean little to me and my favorites, such as Sister Toldjah, will always be the creme de la creme to me. (See JFKerry for translation)

Thanks for the props, Sis! You are truly a class act.
As always, you got my vote.

On the bright side:

1) You’re not getting smoked. Now, The Daily Brief, they’re getting smoked…

2) Right now, you’re in fifth place…even if you don’t move up in the standings, you can say that you’re “255th of the Top 251-500 Blogs.” That’s still pretty impressive! That sounds even more impressive than saying you’re “250th of the Top 250 Blogs!”

Good luck in your category! Remember that it’s an honor just to be nominated. I say that only because I wasn’t nominated.
