Sean:

I'd like to nominate a post you did on Polspy. Unfortunately, all I can remember about it is that it was great and had to do with alcoholism, drug addiction and judging others. Ring a bell? I wish I'd saved it. I think at the time, I called it one of the posts of the year. The fact that my memory of it is so sketchy is more a reflection on my failing intellectual faculties than the post. Is it retrievable?

I'd like to nominate Sean The NDP Voting Gay Rights Extremist From The Very Left Wing Anti-CPC Anti-Harper Blog Called PolSpy in the Moonbat category. Alternatively, Sean can extend me the same courtesy he did Richard Evans, and kindly leave my (inactive) blog out of the "Moon" "Bat" category, please. I am a small c conservative and do not belong there. Thank you very much, and have a nice day.

I nominate for best american blog:

"Little Green Footballs"

http://www.littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/weblog.php

Anonalogue -- sorry, I missed that one. It's being removed now.

You know the Blogging Tories blogroll is getting too long when you have to ask for links. Just look to your left Sean.

"I'd like to nominate a post you did on Polspy."

Occam, I've still got the post on disk, but I'd rather not have anything of mine in the contest as it would look, um, bad.

"I'd like to nominate Sean The NDP Voting Gay Rights Extremist From The Very Left Wing Anti-CPC Anti-Harper Blog Called PolSpy in the Moonbat category."

I'm having a good day. I've managed to get called a homophobe by someone on the left and get called a 'gay rights extremist' by someone on the right within a 24 hour period. I must be doing something right if I'm ticking everyone off.

FYI, here are the reasons I voted NDP in the last Alberta election:

1) There was no SPA candidate in my riding.

2) The Alberta Alliance candidate was an inbred twat. Worse, having been Mormon at one time, I'm well enough acquainted with Randy Thorenstein to know *exactly* what I'd be getting if he was voted in as premier. I have *some* scruples, dude.

3) I made the mistake of listening to Kevin Taft speak once, and now I break into giggle fits whenever I hear his name. No way I can vote for that.

4) I was left with a choice between Ralph Klein and Brian Mason. Seeing how Klein blows through taxpayer cash, Mason actually looked like the safer choice.

Of course I'd like to nominate fighting for taxpayers for best new canadian blog. And yes, it's shameless self-promotion.

www.taxpayersfederation.blogspot.com

"Just look to your left Sean."

Well, isn't that embarrassing? [blush] I'll fix the links later -- my wife wants me to make dinner right now.

As Dean Wormer told me upon graduation:

"Short, fat and stupid is no way to go through life son."

My hairline was voted Most Likely To Recede by my classmates.

Toga; Toga; Toga

I would like to nominate 3 blogs for "Best new Canadian blog":

1. Dissonance and Disrespect by the Loyalist (http://dissonanceanddisrespect.blogspot.com/)

Need some proper representation from the left.

Sean...here's the link for Canadianna

http://canadianna.blogspot.com/

Hey Sean, could you e-mail me that post? Personal consumption only. It was a hell of a post.

Your choices are disappointing and, quite frankly, weird. Some things in this world are beyond argument.

PowerLine-best American blog and best blog of any kind. Captain's Quarters is a close second.

The Fourth Rail- best Iraq war blog. If you aren't reading this daily, you haven't a clue as to how the war is being won.

ScrappleFace- best humour- dealing with the moronic left in the only way that makes sense. Dismissing them with satire and ridicule

Andrew Coyne-Best Canadian blog before being threatened with a libel action

I'm happy in the moonbat categoty... If I'm not ranting about them, I'm baiting them and beating them sensless... Oh, yeah, I've got really cool "anti-moonbat" audio as well. I'd probably fit into some of the other categories, but I'd rather stay where I have a chance...

WTF? Who the hell are YOU?

Back to topic.

Agreed can-andrew, LGF is top notch and ranks in the top 3.

A couple of other notes: Scrappleface is PARODY not politics.

And Andrew Sullivan moved into the Moonbat category early last year in case you hadn't noticed.

We got nominated! We got nominated! While we may be far from being the best political blog, I think it's safe to assume we are the best monarchist blog. But I see there's no category for that.

In my opinion, Andrew Coyne has been the best Canadian blog overall (when he had the comments), though his blogging unfortunately tends to be somewhat intensely seasonal. Best sound-byte blog goes to Occam's Carbuncle, before we lost the friggin link. Best wickedly antagonistic blog goes to Warren Kinsella hands down. Best Anglosphere blog goes to Mark Steyn. Best political blogs go to SDA and AGWN. Best politician blog goes to Monte Solberg. Best Blogging Tory blog goes to Stephen Taylor...

"Need some proper representation from the left."

Don't they already have the country?

For best Blog Post, I think Captain Ed's post during the Gomery commission before the Canadian bans were lifted certainly should be nominated.

Sorry Sean, I reread the rules.

April 02, 2005
Canada's Corruption Scandal Breaks Wide Open

I hate these things. And I don't think Kate would put me in the humor category.

Please remove my site from the list.

Best blog post is Captain Ed when he blew the lid off the whole Librano Adscam fiasco, April 2, 2005, that opened the floodgates to what we are enjoying now. I still have that post and will keep it.

Best New Canadian Blog: Blue Blogging Soapbox
Best Canadian Political Blog: The Turner Report

Sean, I think I saw Candace nominate either orr as best new American blog. Yeah, that's me, but if she did nominate me, I publicly here thank her.
I would nominate I Am (Also) Canadian for best humour blog.

bob's right, I did. eitherorr.blogspot.com if I recall correctly.

For best post, rules be damned, Kate's "I concede" should be in there as well.

So should Gods of the Copybooks' Anniversary post (I've asked him to send me a link).

Civitatensus as a new Canadian blog also (www civitatensus.ca)

2:23 AM... Unless I missed it on the list because I'm 5 minutes away from falling asleep, you really CAN'T have a best of blog list without including "marksteyn.com"

Must nominate SDA for the best list of better blogs around anywhere. Blog with the best coat of arms is Http://My.Opera.com/T-G/ or just T-GsPlace. eh? 73s TG

Best new blog - well, fairly new:
http://www.proudtobecanadian.ca/blog/

When someone stops posting for a while. It is interesting how people are so slow to return when that person is active again.

Debbye of Being American in TO has always been a good writer and very often prone to pick up new twists and scoops.

It was Debbye who colaborated with th Captain when Gomery's secrecy order was flouted. That was great stuff!

Andrew's blog gets few visits now too. It will pick up if comments are re-activated, but it's no fun if we can't tear into Andrews views. now Im off to
http://DebbyeStratigacos.mu.nu or Being American in TO. Also must check the illegal Coat of Arms on Http://My.Opera.com/T-G/

Since you are asking for more nominations for best blog post I would like to nominate one from SoundPolitics.org

http://www.soundpolitics.com/archives/004203.html#004203

Considering the number of terrific posts on the subject of the Washington election fiasco it was very difficult to pick just one, but I feel that this post is one of best and shows how important Stefan's investigative reporting was, since he seems to have been the only one actually doing the research.

Thanks to Sean for nominating Sound Politics and to Cicero for nominating the specific post.

All I can say is stay tuned -- there's much more in the pipeline about King County Elections.

____________________________________________

You are of course right Mark so long as the incomparable Mr. Steyn is a blogger. I think of him more as a one man industry: humourist, historian, art and culture critic, and author of the most insightful (and inciteful) world wide political analysis.

Steyn is clearly in a league of his own; which makes it all the more remakable that 99% of Canadians have never heard of him.

New Category: most intelligent blog commenter- Mark Collins

Terry Gain: The cheque is in the mail.

I cannot resist. From "Comments Please"

"Your Dingwall talking points, in advance [Paul Wells]

THURSDAY
You want to know the terms of David Dingwall's severance package? The question is grotesque. You know, Joe McCarthy used to ask for that sort of thing. Joe McCarthy and Stalin.

FRIDAY MORNING
We can't release the terms of David Dingwall's severance package. It's against the law.

FRIDAY LATE AFTERNOON
Here are the terms of David Dingwall's severance package.

MONDAY

David Dingwall has agreed to forfeit his severance package.

WEDNESDAY
We have no comment on Mr. Dingwall's lawsuit. The matter is before the courts."

And my comment:

'Thursday: "Dingwall Reported Held in Syria

David Dingwall, the recently resigned head of the Royal Canadian Mint, has been reported as being held in Syrian custody. The former Canadian Ambassador to Syria, Mr Franco Pillarella, has been appointed by Prime Minister Paul Martin as his special representative for this matter and is urgently requesting information from the Syrian authorities."'

Most unsung blog:

MKBraaten.com

His blogging on the accountability of foundations from an accountant's perspective is the most under rated blog post in Canada.

LINK

Also, while his headline is misleading, his blog entry on the CBC possibly scuttling a story on Liberal corruption still stands out and is relevant even now.

LINK

And dammit, I'm nominating myself for the best new Canadian blog for doing the first survey of Canadian bloggers - evAr.

LINK

Not bad for a noob.

And I think I'm pretty effin' funny too, so I'll nominate myself for one of the funniest blogs - next to BlamBlog, which is noticeably absent from this list.

LINK

Ah. The ego knows no bounds :P

I think you should use the surveymonkey.com tool and have people enter the exact web url of their favorite blog. It also prevents people from voting twice.

two more nominations for Black Rod the obvious for best new blog
and also for best post when they went around the ban on Gomery testimoney being published

"What we can't answer, yet, is why the Liberals poured so much money into these ad agencies Unless the answer is so simple it's staring us in the face--we have somehow slipped from being a democracy into being a kleptocracy "

oh and Hacks and Wonks for best sports predictions

sorry I meant for best new Canadian blog I should have been more specific

Mark Collins

Good of you to prove the validity of my 6:13 PM post with yours immmediately below mine. I am now rubbing my right fist over my chest.

Terry

I nominate LangleyPoliticsDotCom for the blog of the year award. (www.langleypolitics.com). This site is possibly the best place for people with vastly different political and social views to debate all manner of issues in Canadian, British Columbian and local civic issues. The blog is run by Jordan Bateman and Sam Kirk who are extremely dedicated political animals with a bit of a Christian/conservative bent.

Check it out. t's a blast.

My nomination for "Moonbat" blog is Canadian Sentinel. Anyone that cuts and pastes from the HQ INTEL REPORT and then stands back in awe and wonderment of the information is seriously disturbed.

If you need another "best post", I nominate the one that started the Paragraph K business.

Shameless self promotion:

In best new Canadian blog...or best new American blog (we fly both ways here)

Two more noms for best Iraqi war blogs:

http://iraqthemodel.blogspot.com/

I don't know where to put Steven Vincent's nomination either MSM or Iraqi War:

http://spencepublishing.typepad.com/in_the_red_zone/

How about this blog...,

Terremoto

...for your humour category? It's eclectic if nothing else. The pictures are funny in a demented sort of way. The writing is generally witty.
