I should probably point out that they are now taking nominations for the Koufax awards for lefty bloggers. Since a lot of you lefties reside here, I figure you might be interested.
And for the love of everything holy, do not nominate this website. I am not a lefty, and if we did get nominated, we would get laughed that, and barring being merely laughed out of the place, we would come in even farther behind than we did with out miserable showing in the weblogawards.

Hey John,
I wouldn’t consider 10th out of the top 250th to be miserable! Just like you to short-change yourself! :)

Don’t sell yourself short, you kicked some Dynamist butt!

BJ gets the ppGaz “Best Blog – Period Award”.
My Best Lefty blog award goes to Washington Monthly.
My Best Donut award goes to Dunkin Donuts for their Original Dunkin Donut.
And my best …..

No problem John. Consider yourself nominated.

No shame in losing at the weblog awards–it appears to be mostly liberals and really deranged conservatives voting. (Tom McGuire finishing behind Ace, LaShawn, and the Anti-Idiotarian Wingnut? Phooey)

You know, with this crowd you just set yourself up by saying that.
In fact, the thought of nominating Balloon Juice wouldn’t have even occurred to me until you mentioned it. I’m not going to do so, I’m just sayin’…
Jane Finch
You were in the wrong category…if this isn’t a conservative blog, I don’t know what is.
dagon
–i hate to break it to you jane but the way most ‘conservatives’ define themselves these days, this ISN’T a conservative blog.

Can we nominate DougJ for best commentator?
kchiker
I voted for this site for best conservative blog before I voted for it for best liberal blog.
Damn…I hate those John Kerry moments.
Grotesqueticle
Hey, I voted for you.
Dunkin Donuts? PLEASE! You need to hit the Krispy Kreme when the hot donut sign is flashing.
ppGaz
Those things are crap. Yeasty, mushy.
A real donut has character.
John Redworth
I am waiting until the Mickey Mantle awards come up and then I will nominate you…

I’m with PpGaz – Krispy Kreme donuts suck. They’re all sugar. I bought a box of ’em last year for my co-workers, and I ate two. I swear I had a sugar headache for hours.
Speaking of headaches, where’s my damned booze blogging? It’s Feierabend here on the West Coast and I’m about to mix a martini.
By the time I’m through shaking it, there had better be a booze post up or I swear, I’m not going to nominate this blog for anything. Ever.
Grotesqueticle
Well, sure, they suck when they’re cold. Eat ’em HOT. Fresh out of the grease.
stickler
Judas H. Priest, no damned booze post. My martini is half-gone, the gin is warming my throat, I’m all ready to wax rhapsodic about lambic and kellerbier and Hitachino Nest, and what do I see? Jack squat.
Mark my words: I will never, ever, nominate this blog for a lefty award. Ever.

Since Sandy Koufax is a religous man, refusing to pitch on Yom Kippur, I assume that religion is an important part of the award?
John-C&L
That’s it Cole, I’m nominating you for the best take-down of Malkin award.
ppGaz
Your secret is safe with me, John.

we’ll chuckle when we stumble across it in the nominations in a few days.
