YES. Last year’s competition was about the most stupid-fun we’ve had on this blog. Hopefully this somehow ends with a rematch against the PUMAs on three or four battlefields, but teabaggers would suffice too. Exciting! [2009 Weblog Awards via Rumproast]

• OH NOES, LAST DAY TO VOTE FOR THE BLOGGIES! And awards season will finally end, forever, as long as you’ve kindly voted for Wonkette, in all three (3) categories, at this 2009 Bloggies site and received your Confirmation Email, which can be exchanged for two (2) hobo beans in 2010, at the White House. [2009 Bloggies]

MAKE YR VOTE COUNT! Just a few days left to vote for your Wonkette in the political, humor and group-sexblog 2009 Bloggies! Make sure you get the email confirmation, and scroll right to find the categories. Muchas gracias por su consideración! [2009 Bloggies]

Let’s see, Oscar nominations, who cares … oh look, nominations for the 2009 Bloggies are out, and whoa, jesus christ, your Wonkette is nominated for Best Weblog About Politics, Most Humorous Weblog and Best Group Weblog. Yikes! Thank you, good peoples, for nominating us, for these magical invisible trophies. MORE »

Voting ended, reviews of CHEATING have been run, and the winners have been certified: Wonkette is your Best Libtard Netroots Blog of the century! Hooray! Thank you to all readers for your daily votes; Warring is never an easy effort and many people literally died in this latest crusade. Congratulations to our fellow members of the Axis Powers, too, for dominating their categories: Rumproast, ~ synthesis ~, Comics Curmudgeon and Driftglass. Also, be sure to add such collateral damage victims as Grace the Spot, Jon Swift and Blue Gal to your RSS subscriptions AT ONCE. This, friends, is what feminism looks like. [Weblog Awards]

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 »

• SCORCH THE EARTH, SALT THE GROUND: There are no more politics to play here. Vote for Wonkette in Best Liberal Blog every 24 hours. Our lead over TPM is solid but not devastating, and if we lost to them it would be your associate editor’s fault and a terrible embarrassment. In Best New Blog, UppityWoman is catching up to ~ synthesis ~, so please, finish this PUMA once and for all. And in a *new* endorsement, please vote for the excellent, excellent Driftglass in the Best Individual Blogger category. Driftglass is in a close race with what can be described most adequately as a “pro-George Bush blog.” Remember, everyone, that Wonkette is a WARBLOG. The Geneva Conventions do not apply here. [Weblog Awards]

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]

• FINE: Our dear friend Jon Swift is very angry at your Wonkette for our endorsements in four of the 8,000,000 Weblog Awards categories, because some up-and-coming blogs that would have all lost to horrific PUMA blogs will now simply lose to other blogs. In other words, Jon Swift is mad that he is losing to our hilarious weekly columnist in the Best Humor Blog category. Both are great blogs deserving of the award, OK? JESUS, what do you people want from us? Oh that’s right, Jon Swift has e-mailed us asking for our endorsement so that he too can artificially win, so go vote for him right now, and then everything will be fair again! Damnit now Josh will be mad. [Weblog Awards]

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 »

Look. These new PUMAs are really annoying. They’re as reactionary as the Paultards circa late 2007, but at least the Paultards had ideas, man, they had a fuckin’ ethos. These PUMAs, on the other hand, are thoughtless, easily manipulable and selfish to the extent that when they don’t get what they want, they blame everyone else for stealing something and offending them, when really no significant events in the real world could affect them in any meaningful way. These are the people who get personally offended, for some reason, when they hear that Britney Spears went driving with a baby on her lap, or, more pertinently, when Hillary Clinton didn’t get as many delegates as her contender.
