John Hawkins, proprietor of Right Wing News, hands out the First Annual Warblogger Awards. Laurence Simon is kind enough to share his voting record. Perhaps inexplicably, I was not sent a ballot. In the unlikely chance that there is a recount, here's how I would have voted (no slights intended to any of the other sites I regularly read -- you're on the blogroll for a reason):
Most Underrated Blog
I agree with the real voters here: Brothers Judd. I also find Rantburg underappreciated. And Juan Gato deserves to win something.
Best Unknown Blog
Dunno.
Favorite Editorial Writer Who's Not A Blogger
Mark Steyn.
Favorite Member Of The Bush Administration Other Than Bush
Rumsfeld.
Most Annoying Celebrity
Barbra Streisand
Most Annoying Blogger
Not applicable -- I don't read annoying blogs. I write them.
Most Overrated Blog
Mr. Hawkins does not allow for own-votes. Nonetheless, Oscar Jr.
Most Missed
I'd vote for Spoons, but he just posts in other bloggers' comments now, or Jeff Goldstein, but he still promises to return. Instead, my vote goes to Whigging Out, who really seems to be gone.
The Most Bloodthirsty Blog
I expected to vote for Dracula, but this doesn't seem so bloodthirsty:
I have no idea if I'm doing this correctly or not, No sense going any farther until I know for sure...
I guess I'll join Laurence in voting for The Rottweiler, Misha, instead.
Best Looking Blog
Little Green Footballs.
Best Group Blog
The Corner.
Best Non-American Blog
Tim Blair.
Best Female Blogger
Can I split my vote between Michele, of A Small Victory, and Rachel Lucas?
The Best Fisker
Misha, again.
The Funniest Blog
Scrappleface is always funny, but Frank J. of IMAO, both blood-thirsty and hilarious, gets my vote. He gets additional points for hating me.
