On Vanity

Witnessing from our referrer logs that Long Sunday has received not one, not two but three 2005 Koufax Award nominations, hosted there by the ancient Wampum (excellent in blog years, that is).  Alright, but only three?  Well, that is something.  Congratulations all around.  To be frank, I don't think we stand a chance.  Why Wampum doesn't nominate itself, we don't know.  But the impetus behind these things is undoubtedly a good, and from the look of it this may be their final year.  So do please check out all the wonderful competition, for now, in this our first round selection and pre-vote glory, including I see one Jodi Cites, one Jon Posthegemony and one The Adam Kotsko.  Speaking of which, I'll vote for each of you if you three vote for us.

I'm going to abstain. No matter what we do, Josh Marshall and Atrios (or those kinds of people) will sweep everything. Atrios was once even nominated for best writing, and nearly won!

:sigh: such apathy.

Fucking A! One sometimes-commenter of ours (at least in part/though really Adam's) has also been nominated.

And didn't Ben Wolfson stop by that one time, months ago? The Gods they must be crazy.

Speaking for myself, we are simply flabber-gasted...awe-struck, blown-away and bowled-over, with humble tears in our grateful, pleading puppy eyes... &c.
