The 2006 Weblog awards start today. I nominated this site in a few categories, but the only one it was selected for was "Best of the 6751-8750". I ask everyone to vote for this site, and note that you can vote once every 24 hour period.

If you aren't familiar with this site, you should vote for it because of entries like this, this, or this. Compare the facts presented in those posts with the facts available from the MSM as well as the great majority of blogs. Note that those are only three post from the past few weeks, and there are many more where those came from. Sometimes I even use footnotes (also here or here).

There are many other fine sites in the competition which may be discussed here later. Today however, I'm simply going to suggest ones that no one should vote for:

GOP Hacks:
Red State (also banned me after ~75 diary entries)
InstaPundit
The Anchoress (Ken Mehlman in a habit?)
Captain's Quarters
Hugh Hewitt

Friends of Insty:
Lileks
Althouse
Tim Blair (also friend of Matt Welch)

Really sleazy "liberal" a**holes:
Eschaton
Orcinus

Loony libertarians:

Asymmetrical Information (also frequent Insty link target)

Dumb "liberals":
Pandagon
Think Progress (also banned me)

any Nick Denton site (because of Wonkette's, Sploid's, and Gawker's immigration-related posts)
