Georgina Henry over at the Groan’s comment is twaddle thinks it should win a webby:
Comment is free has been shortlisted for the second year running for a prestigious Webby award (for best politics blog), alongside guardian.co.uk (shortlisted for best newspaper on the web for the fifth year running) and our podcasts. The reason for blowing our own trumpet is that aside from the official award (to be announced in a couple of weeks) all nominees are in the running for a people’s choice award in their category.
Georgina exhorts us to nip over and vote.
You’re joking, right? This is the “blog” (for want of a better word) that spews ill-informed rhetoric from uninspired, uninspiring and ignorant hacks that occasionally produces a half decent, readable article (usually by Henry Porter). Even if I thought awards are a good thing – and I don’t, they are a waste of time, effort and money for the benefit of mutual back-slapping – I wouldn’t vote for the Groan. Ever.
CiF is indeed probably the most vile ‘blog of all time. But as Vindico said, if there’s no Polly article and you’re running low on inspiration, it’s always good for a fisk.
Mark Wadsworth’s last blog post..Fun on-line poll!
Oh u gotta leave comments on other peoples blogs to advertise yor existence [blog] say nice things [or not] Then that blog puts a link from theirs to yours [or not]
Be a nihilist! better than eating stinking fish.
