Koufax voting

Wampum has listed the Best New Blog nominees and is providing some time prior to voting to give them all a ride. Please do - there's some nice stuff out there.

If you've followed Phronesisaical for a while now, you know that we're somewhat reluctant bloggers. It's not easy to have the time, for one thing. For another thing, when it comes to traffic and readership, the basic tenets of offline salesmanship come into play. Quality does not necessarily go at all with readership. Funny that. Regardless, I'll bet you that Firedoglake wins this category. They snub us, except on occasion to glean info then use it, so I'm not going near that vote. But, I have to admit, they've done a nice job and they've done a great job of publicizing themselves.

Phronesisaical is on the Best New Blog list. So, also, are some of our favorites: By Neddie Jingo!, Neil Shakespeare, The Duck of Minerva, and Empire Burlesque. These are mainly unsung heroes. Please take a look and consider a vote for us and them. Links are to your right.

If you're new to our blog, take a look around. Check out the links, especially the "Posts Elsewhere," and check out the archives. Thanks for visiting.

Actually, firedoglake is not in that category now, as I was informed they began their blog in 2004.

Good luck. I think you made Most Deserving of Wider Rec as well (though my overwhelmed brain may fail me, so don't quote me :-D).

Damn, Troutsky. That's the way to do it! How about a category. How about Random Links and Ill-Conceived Thoughts Punctuated by Occasional Tropical Fruit Photos.
