Sad news for lovers of digital violence and carnage everywhere: the 2009 Weblog Awards, for which some of you wonderful nerds nominated your Wonkette a month or two ago, have been canceled due to math or technology problems or whatever — basically the admins having to deal with spamming motherfuckers like us and the PUMAs and the new, irate “Charles Johnson is an evil communist” crowd overloading the system. Oh well. Hopefully it will work next year. Thank you Kevin Aylward and associates for putting in the long hours! [Weblog Awards]

This is like when the best fireman awards were canceled because the awards caught fire.
Math. Can’t trust it. It used to be about the numbers, but then they just started replacing everything with x and y and such.
Does anyone know what the heck that LGF link is about? Didn’t they used to be the internet home of right-wing shitbaggery?
And President Obama still hasn’t come out with a statement about this — I mean what if this were an online poll conducted by terrorists?!
So it was so much of a success that it was a failure? Or it was a failure because it was so much a success?
Kinda like “Cash for Clunkers” only on the Internets?
Right?
This makes the one I won that much more valuable. I’m selling it on eBay. Beanie Babies, bitchez!
See, that’s the problem with warblogging; each blog thinks it’s going to be a quick, easy and glorious victory, and is eager to get the war started. Then, next thing you know, the warblog has become a quagmire with most of each side’s commenters banned for life and no clear victor, except for the metaphorical equivalent of corpse-eating rats and maggots (trolls, maybe?).
[re=488623]SmutBoffin[/re]: LGF has shifted slightly, distanced itself from the nuttiest of the rightwing nutjobs, and has ventured the occasional opinion that not all brown people should be killed in their homes, because of socialism.
Darn, I was looking forward to seeing all the categories in which Wonkette appeared. I nominated this blog for best crafting blog, myself.
Oh dear, did my robotic clicky-click nominations for teaparty.org overwhelm the site? I only did it about 1,000 times a day…
I blame furries. also.
See, it still feels just like the old decade to me -
best religious blog 4 certain
Aww, I had my “I want the scalps of 100 PUMAs” speech ready and everything. Thanks NOBambi!
Stupid math, pissing on everyone’s fun like always.
GOD DAMN IT!! All the effort to get ShortsandPants as the Best Military and Gun Blog has now crashed in flames!
Considering Rumproast was going to be a winner in whatever category we were nominated for because of the MAGICAL ANTI-PUMA PERL HAXXOR we re-commissioned with Wonkette, I have a very bad case of the sads now. I hope we can get a refund.
Alas, I was very much looking forward to the Wonkette Army crushing the douchebag anti-climate-science site “Watts Up With That,” which paradoxically won Best Science Blog last year.
Now I haz a sad.
Hey, Jim, don’t be shy. Pull a Papa Doc: light up a big spliff and declare Wonkette “Weblog Award Winner for Life.” You’ve got enough people here for a private militia. Tonton Macoutes, bitches!
And just where did my whore diamonds go, the ones they charged as their poll tax?
I say its time to take down the 2008 award then, its pretty embarassing to have it up if they can’t run a survey.
what a shame
Oh swell. One more reason to live has been destroyed.
Wow. Even by nerd standards, that is some pathetic shit. Trucknutz wuz robbed.
