Reviewing the 2008 Weblog Awards Finalists: “Best Conservative Blog” Category…

Here is my third (and final) post in a series of unfair, sloppy, and intellectually lazy reviews of blogs that are finalists in the 2008 Weblog Awards. And to top it off, I’m posting it after voting has already been open for six days and has on…

I like to think I read some of the best and most of the ones I read are on your list above.
However, methinks you don’t give yourself enough credit Rick. You are one of the best out there, and have been for several years.

I spent some time looking at all the blogs listed. In my mind this Blog is the best of the lot. You do a good job Rick Moran.

I was surprised by this part of your entry: “More brainpower among those gentlemen than the entire liberal side of the blogosphere. They deserve the recognition.

I hope I am not being too picky, but by attaching a slight to the ‘liberal blogosphere’ with the compliment to your friends at American Thinker I believe everyone involved (you and your friends) are slightly diminished. Wouldn’t it have been more effective to compliment American Thinker without including the put down? Acknowledging that I am short does not make anyone taller.

Keep up the great work on this outstanding Blog.

Congrats, kudos, and good luck.

I suspect you won’t finish last, as there are a couple of blogs in that list, including mine (Plumb Bob Blog) that most people have never even heard of. Still, I’m like you — that somebody actually considers our work on a par with the likes of Victor Davis Hanson or the Powerline boys is a stunning and unexpected honor.

FWIW, I think your blog is superb.

Thanks for the kind words. But don’t sell yourself short. Plenty of us have heard of your site although I am not a daily visitor. Keep plugging away and have a great 2009.

Rick Moran
