Our favoritest film blogger, the Self-Styled Siren, is a finalist for this year's Weblog Awards in the Best Culture Blog category.
You know what to do. Vote our Siren home! You can vote once a day from now through Thursday, so go give her the first of your four votes. She's the best and she deserves your support!
But!
Not only does the Siren deserve to win, she deserves to beat the pants off the guys at Libertas, the Right Wing film blog that proves it's a Right Wing blog day in and day out by getting everything wrong. They're wrong on the politics, wrong on the art, and yet there they are, way out in front. This must not stand!
Vote for the Siren! Now!
And while you're there, vote for some of our blog roll favorites who've been nominated in other categories.
Diary of a Heretic and Maud Newton are both up for Best Literature Blog.
Avedon Carol and the Agonist are there as two of the Best of the Top 501-1000 Blogs.
Bossy is a finalist for Funniest Blog. So is Sadly, No.
Doc Myers is up for Best Science Blog.
And Shakesville is in terrific company as Wev and the gang compete for Best Liberal Blog.
There has, however, been a horrific category error.
Jon Swift was not nominated for Best Conservative Blog. As thoughtful a conservative as he is, he was dissed by the nominating committee and left off the ballot. Instead, to add insult to injury, he's a finalist for Funniest Blog along with Bossy and Sadly.
As if a thoughtful conservative has time for a sense of humor!
What a humiliation. First, the poor guy's booted from Facebook because he doesn't exist, and now this disgrace.
It's a crying shame. Thoughtful conservatives get no respect.
Vote for him anyway, out of pity if nothing else. Vote for all your favorites. Vote daily. But the main thing is to vote for the Siren.
Remember.
Gallant Lance, short for Lancelot ...
