How Not to Lose

Chuckette:

Many thanks to all of you who voted for us for Best Liberal Blog at the 2008 Weblog Awards. You still have time to vote if you haven’t yet today. Apologies to those blogs we recommended whose leads were squashed by the spiteful actions of The Blog That Must Not Be Named. They sort of ruined the fun for the rest of us.

As a rule of thumb, try to have a sense of humor about yourself, and if you can’t, at least try to pretend that you do. This was a case where Wonkette, after the thin skinned ones went on and on about how Wonkette cheated, endorsed the PUMA competitors in other categories. Chuckette was the one who lost awards for the other bloggers.

A word about Wonkette, by the way. Wonkette is the only A list blog that takes the time to link to local DC blogs, including this humble hippo. The writers and commenters are funny, if a tad snarky. I’m glad to see them win in the liberal blog category. The best men and women truly did win in this case.

    Speaking of best men and women and winning, wasn’t it a day?

    Since you are so deeply involved with Drinking Liberally, Alt, are you recovering nicely? Did someone fetch a cool cloth for your head? And are the chilblains abating? ;0)

    We’re stilling recovering from the 2 Million Democrat march. My body is a bid stiff from yesterday’s adventure. I’m actually looking forward to a dearth of parties for the next couple of weeks.
