Well I'll be hornswoggled. Somebody nominated this blog (or maybe a bolt of lightning struck the selectors -- I'm not sure how this process works) over at the Koufax Awards for "Most Deserving of Wider Recognition." What's the intent of the Koufax Awards?
The idea behind the awards is to recognize the contributions of a number of people who give of their time, effort, insight, skill and humor without compensation. It is a chance to say a lot of nice things about a lot of people. We hope to help build and promote a feeling of community among lefty bloggers. This is supposed to be fun for us and for you. Anything that makes it less fun is inappropriate.
Votes for this category are not yet being accepted. The idea is for voters to familiarize themselves with blogs they might not otherwise have seen before voting (What a concept! Informed voters?) In a few days the good folks at Wampum will open up the category for votes, so do your blogospheric civic duty and get knowledgeable before marking your ballots. Oh, and if you've got a few pennies to spare, consider hitting the donation page there: they've budgeted $2,400 for costs associated with this endeavor, and we all know what happens to budgets, right? They get overrun.
Seriously, this is one helluva surprise, and I'm greatly flattered.
