I was going to say something snarky about the awards and how it might help if you actually blogged about something OTHER than them, but then you're up for a design award. It doesn't matter if you use Lorem Ipsumque Yadda Yadda to fill your entries... the design remains the same. The chick in the upper left corner remains chicky. The color scheme remains bluehuetastic.

So I'll just bite my tongue for now.

Well, I've been doing my best! I've always liked your blog design.

If I could offer a suggestion, though, it could do with a little bit of carrion.

Thanks, Kate: I've been meaning to fix the "no carcass" problem. Maybe after the holidays.

Meanwhile, I'm writing today down in my calendar as the day that Lair bit his [previously virgin] tongue . . .

Glad I stumbled on this site! here I sit in my PJs a lone blogger, looking for the latest dirt not reported by our media. Any way you have my vote go get em.

Hm. If you want investigative reporting, you might want to check my archives. I have a feeling that for the next two weeks it's all going to be pretty frivolous.

Except for intel reform; I probably won't be able to help discussing that while I'm out of town, if time permits.

I just looked at those award thingies and voted for you. Just because.

You know I find some of the most important news is something forgotten, or under reported.
Thanks for the tip-I've been looking at your archives, Theres alot! Keep up the good work.

Ah! the polls are closed, and not a dangling chad in sight. As a former Cruncher of Big Numbers, I round things. You've made your 10% that way alone. I also saw an official 10.0% just before the voting closed. (Obviously, some scurrilous rats packed the booths, frantically voting on other candidates' dubious offerings at the very end.)

You did it.

You've acquitted yourself well, Miss Attila. Congrats.

Thank you! I appreciate it.
