DO NOT WANT: Your Wonkette got shut out at the Bloggies. We were nominated in the politics, humor and “group sex” categories, and were Soundly Beaten by Nate Silver, the LOLcats, and fucking Gawker. Congratulations everybody! [Bloggies SXSW]

ROAD OF BONES: Polls close tomorrow night, for this tragic Fake Weblog Awards warblogging contest. Comics Curmudgeon for the Humor, Blue Gal’s pick of Driftglass for this thing, and let’s have a final crushing blow against all other “liberal blogs,” for the sin of being liberal. MORE »

WAR ON LIBTARDS: Good jesus, is this what goes on with the comments, on the liberal blogs? Must we TAKE BACK our 2nd Place Endorsement of Talking Points Memo? Looks like it! Okay, return to “crush them all.” [TPM Cafe]

OKAY NOW IT IS TIME FOR THE REAL BLOGGIES: We don’t even know what that other Weblog Awards thing is about, other than you should keep voting for us, because why not? But the real true authentic Weblog Awards Thing is back, and accepting nominations for all your favorite categories of websites such as “Best Mexican Blog” and “Best Blog About Trig Palin’s Birth Records.” MORE »

Oh look, now you can click this computer graphic of a computer, and then, magically, you can vote for your Wonkette, so we can post a different computer graphic of a computer, but this time designating your Wonkette as the whatever-of-the-year — this time around, we are nominated for “Prettiest Libtard Blog.” We are being MURDERED by Crooks & Liars some blog we have literally never heard of, called “Confluence,” right now. Please put a stop to this outrage. MORE »

Over the years, your Wonkette has won most-to-all of the awards ever given to Internet websites, due to the diligence, care and insight its unbelievably talented editors put into every post, effortlessly. But we understand that Internet awards distributors must pretend that we have “competition,” and so we’ll play along and say that we’re “honored to be nominated” for “Best Liberal Blog” in the 2008 Weblog Awards. (Although, and for the last time, we. are. WARBLOGGERS.) More importantly, we’re happy for our numerous competitors — the junior blogs TPM, Crooks & Liars, Think Progress and others — for whom the word “ecstatic” would not adequately describe their emotions upon hearing of their placement in the same echelon as Wonkette. Every child deserves a treat on occasion, we suppose. Voting starts Jan. 5. [GODDAMMIT NEWELL YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE GRACIOUS.
