The Bloggies

We have awards?

Well, they showed their good taste by not nominating me, however that small praise is negated by the fact that the drivel posted by Wil Wheaton won four awards, including Best American Blog, Best New Blog, and Blog of the Year. The fourth award was for best shameless whoring merchandising.

Even worse, the most successful and widely read blog of them all, our own Instapundit, wasn't even nominated. I'm sure Glenn was crushed by this omission.

If he even noticed.

Actually, I think the blogosphere is simply too big and changes too rapidly for any award to even attempt to try and represent a "Best of."

I thought about posting my own awards, but then I realized that with what must be close to one million blogs, I haven't even seen .01%. How can I, or anybody for that matter, even pretend to know what blogs are the best.

It's laughable.

I'll stick to linking to blogs that I like, and plugging them where I can. That's my award.

So to all of you on the list at the left, you just won a Richie! Congratulations, and keep blogging.

Please keep your acceptance speeches to under 5 minutes.
