Stickied in the Top Headline Sidebar.

Also, don't forget to vote for AOSHQ in the Best Conservative Blog category. Here are my recommendations, once again, for a few polls:

The Anchoress is nominated in the Best Individual Blogger category.
Snapped Shot is nominated in the Best Photo Blog category.
Nice Deb is nominated in the Best Small Blog category.

I've been asked to include:

This Ain't Hell, nominated for Best Military Blog.
Jammie Wearing Fool, nominated for Best Large Blog.

You can vote once per computer every 24 hours. Voting is open for another six days. Good luck to all the competitors.

2 If you vote for the technology blog, DO NOT VOTE FOR Arstechnica, that place is a liberal wasteland. I dropped them from my RSS feed reader cause i got tired of all the preaching.

I voted for you Ace, and you too Wolf, although I must admit that Michael Yon deserves mad props (can I say that here?)

3 "Mother may I sleep with Treacher" is worth voting for in the humor blog category.

Posted by: Lightbringer at January 06, 2009 09:47 AM (QqbBx)

4 I also voted for Blackfive.

Question: Is Little Green Footballs conservative?

This doesn't have anything to do with them being conservative or not, but I stop read him a couple months ago because of his obsession with intelligent design and all that stuff, not to mention his apparent disdain for religion especially targeted at Bobby Jindal and his Catholicism.

6 How is Newsbusters not on any of the choices?

7 Generation Y is the best pick in the Latino, Caribbean or South American blog category. The writer, Yoani Sanchez, writes about the hard realities of living in communist Cuba, is critical of the castro regime, and does so from within the island itself. the only protection she has from Cuban government reprisals and punishment is the exposure we give her on the net and in the media in genral. Please consider consider throwing a few votes her way.

thanks!

9 I've posted links to Yoani's blog here several times before and I will do it again: www.desdecuba.com/generationy

In other news, when is AoShq going to stop phoning it in? If Gabe didn't have to get up and go to work and thereby take the time to throw up an open post, this blog would sleep till noon.

Oh, and I'm tired of having to go through unnecessary steps to post a link, and no, it is not a long unbroken string.

Well, Got My voting in and this from Fox:

Fox is making a big deal of the “congressional investigation” into the Madoff ponzi scam and how they are asking “tough” questions and laying massive blame on the SEC and the regulators. Yesterday the big deal was that a detailed letter had been sent to the SEC that listed exactly what the scam was and that the SEC ignored the warnings.

It is likely that at the end of these “investigations” more new laws will be enacted in the same manner as the bogus sarbanes-oxley act which makes life miserable for companies and workers alike. Like sarbanes-oxley, new laws do NOTHING but create more costs and productivity killers and all due to the failure to enforce existing regulations.

I have yet to here anyone from congress or the “free” press who discuss the failure of all the existing regulation and congressional meddling to do anything to prevent these Enronesque style fraudulent schemes.

11 A lot of these are really lame. I mean, a photoblog category without Shorpy or DRB?

12 My pick for "Best Middle East or Africa Blog" went to "Israellycool" which is just an amazing blog, especially with what is going on there now. I highly recommend it if you don't already read it.

Posted by: Luthien at January 06, 2009 10:08 AM (sg+jz)

Looks like the morons have a lot of votes! As they say in Chicago or Minn, "Vote Early, Vote Often".

Do you think we win the cocksucker award again?

I voted for Yon for Military Blog, he is busting his ass off.

Posted by: Kempermanx at January 06, 2009 10:12 AM (qvT/A)

14 I stopped reading LGF for the exact same reason, Luthien. One day he described Jindal as "Pro-creationist, pro-exorcism."

I got pissed off, ranted a little in the comments (within reason, I didn't insult anyone) and a few days later, my account was banned.

I'm not remotely a creationist, but Jindal is one of the best prospects we have, and for CJ to shit all over him like that, for me was unforgivable. I honestly don't miss a thing. Ace and Hotair.com report everything I could possibly need right now.

15 Did any of you morons happen to catch the "interview" between Jim Cramer and Matt Laurer on the morning show yesterday? Admittedly I just saw only a small portion of it because I walked in to a coworkers office and she had it on, but it had a serious propaganda vibe. Even more so than the usual MSM news propaganda vibe. I'd be interested to hear some other impressions of it.

Posted by: pendejo grande at January 06, 2009 10:20 AM (THKHB)

16 Also, I voted for Blackfive for best Military Blog, Yon is great, but off the top of my head I have read more that's meant more to me at Blackfive than at Michael Yon.

If my blog wasn't a finalist, I would vote for Yon or Blackfive too. Either way, those guys are 1 and 2, I just don't want us getting beat out by the leftie milblogs in there, so if anyone can throw some vote love our way, much appreciated.

Posted by: TSO at January 06, 2009 10:51 AM (4RJK+)

I confess I did vote for this place, as its unregistered easy commenting and mostly lively if misguided subject matter has provided me with much entertainment.

Plus, the others were worse, especially that pompous ass VDH. I'll vote again, just to vote against that asshole.

Even though it's on Army imposed hiatus, LT G's Kaboom should have been nominated - that was the best military blog since My War.

Posted by: icus at January 06, 2009 11:02 AM (Zvtms)

22 I love Yon and all the great work that he does, his blog is a must read but isnt it more of a war blog? If Yon is in consideration then Long Wars Journal must be in the running.

Posted by: Iwillnotsubmit at January 06, 2009 11:03 AM (iUB2z)

What should be done with the remains of the 9/11 hijackers? Follow the Czolgosz precedent: dissolve in acid. Then down the toilet.

31 Best Pet Blog, hands down FuckYouPenguin.blogspot. An anger-amplified sarcastic cute-animal-smackdown site that's worthy of us hobo hunters. Total.Hilarity. My votes have also gone to Ace, Treacher, JonSwift, Dirty Harry, Patterico, and Nice Deb in their respective categories. Don't cost nuthin to vote, neither. Wondering when I get my t-shirt for voting for Ace, tho.

Posted by: C in Az at January 06, 2009 11:19 AM (GiRra)

One other thing that this Blago thing rings to the forefront is the abject racism of the Congressional Black Caucus. They are Democraps and black. The Democrap Party is officially against all of this Blago mess because it is making them look like the party of corruption they are but does that matter to the CBC? Of course not because to them race trumps every thing.

> What should be done with the remains of the 9/11 hijackers?

I like what the British did after the Sepoy Mutiny in India - bury the Hindus and cremate the Muslims, thereby condemning them to hell according to their own particular religious beliefs.

Posted by: JohnW at January 06, 2009 11:42 AM (kwZ7l)

I concur with the earlier posters--LGF is first rate on Islamic terrorists and zombie's photo essays on moonbats on parade are worth the price of admission...but..

What a pedantic almost-Sullivanesque ass he is about intelligent fucking design:

Israel kicks Hamas ass, here's a nice picture for an open thread, here's some Islamist idiot spouting propaganda, here's some more on Israel kicking Hamas ass, and BTW, Holy Shit, some schoolboard in Kansas is proposing that creationism or intelligent design or some harmless oogedy boogedy stuff be on the table and..OMFG, call out the National Guard.

Still, overall, a pretty good site.

Re; The Hijackers Remains - Having read the whole article, my first thought (well, other than a variety of smartass ideas for exactly that) was that it reads like the setup for a (probably bad) sci-fi/thriller movie. Like all that DNA in storage, and then some evil dude steals it all to genetically create a super-hijacker - but of course the moral of the movie would be far to the left. Maybe the super-hijacker would actually like kittens and ponies and save the world from evil Rebuplican corporations or something...

It would be in horrible taste, but given the way Hollywood thinks I give it just a few more years before someone figures the statute of limitations on 9-11 respect has run out.

37 Plus, the others were worse, especially that pompous ass VDH.

Despite being a professor emeritus, the man lives on a raisin farm in the San Joaquin Valley. I grew up in the same area, still have relatives in the raisin business there. I'll tell you what, that's about as far from pompous as you can get.

Posted by: IllTemperedCur at January 06, 2009 12:02 PM (InMdt)

38 Yeah, I don't get it. What's wrong with VDH?

I feel like he doles out more common sense than 99% of the web. He loved Sarah Palin. Anyone who loves Sarah Palin can't possibly be defined as pompous.

Posted by: james at January 06, 2009 12:14 PM (Pq8YS)

39 What's wrong with VDH? He's a conservative intellectual. Can't have that, you know.

Gums up the narrative.

41 VDH is fucking awesome. If AoSHQ didn't exist, I'd be voting for the professor.

Although I'd have to ignore the fact that VDH never uses the word "cocksucker" on his blog.

Posted by: C in Az at January 06, 2009 12:30 PM (GiRra)

I first noticed VDH a couple of years ago when he was trashing Michael Ware, after the Golden Mosque bombing when things were bad, pre-surge, pre-Sahawa, pre-Petraeus.

And Ware was just telling the truth about how bad it was, while VDH was out with the usual bullshit about how things were fine.

Note that Ware was not anti-war, he said the US had to stay and fix the mess. Just anti-bullshit and anti-fuckup.

Ware was and had been in Iraq for about two years at the time, and about three years now. And VDH is trashing Ware from the San Joaquin Valley. With all of his bullshit classical allusions. What an asshole.

Posted by: icus at January 06, 2009 12:44 PM (Zvtms)

44 Ware was wrong and VDH was right. What don't you get about that pretend expert?

45 Ware was wrong and VDH was right. What don't you get about that pretend expert? Posted by: polynikes at January 06, 2009 12:55 PM (m2CN7)

Wow, what an analysis. One thing's for sure, P, nobody will ever accuse you of even pretending to be an expert.

I suppose you like VDH because, like him, you like all those things about the ancient Greeks, hence "polynikes." All those things like Spartan swordsplay and pederasty.

VDH is just the most pompous of the Vietnam war draft dodging chickenhawk crowd. He'd shit his pants if he lived Ware's life in Iraq for one week in 2006.

Posted by: icus at January 06, 2009 01:17 PM (Zvtms)

"He'd shit his pants if he lived Ware's life in Iraq for one week in 2006."

Which week? The one in Fallujah where he was with Bellavia, or the week where he was boning the married reporter chick? I'd like to sign up for Option B if it is available.

Posted by: TSO at January 06, 2009 01:40 PM (4RJK+)

47 Michael Ware as a paragon of journalistic virtue? Nothing says journalistic integrity like getting into a brawl with your lover's married boyfriend in a Baghdad safehouse.

To be fair though, in House to House, David Bellavia showed a lot of respect for Ware.

VDH is just the most pompous of the Vietnam war draft dodging chickenhawk crowd. He'd shit his pants if he lived Ware's life in Iraq for one week in 2006.

Stupid fuck. VDH was 16 years old when troops were first being withdrawn from Vietnam and 19 years old when we agreed to the withdrawal of all of the troops.

49 I see that Wonkette is running away with Best Moonbat Blog by a landslide. I see Nutroots civil war over her anal sex fans stuffing the ballot box. mmmm popcorn.

My campaign to get Wesley Crusher voted Best Celebrity Blog over Margaret Choad is working. I'm not proud of it though...

I repeat my request that if AoSHQ wins, we get a month of Israeli Combat Bikini Babe pictures. Maybe Pamela will be a good sport and send a pic too.

Good one.

Stupid fuck. VDH was 16 years old when troops were first being withdrawn from Vietnam and 19 years old when we agreed to the withdrawal of all of the troops.

VDH is listed as being born in September 1953 on IMDB.

There were 53 VN KIA born in 1953

14 KIA born in 1954

5 KIA born in 1955

7 KIA born in 1956.

http://www.thewall-usa.com/ Check it out.

The war went on in some ways until April 1975. VDH was 22 then. He had "other priorities."

Poly, are you VDH? With that classical name, it could be . . .

57 Now Wonkette is cheating and directing readers to vote for and against people. Some gay little site called "Rumproast" just surged into the lead for best Small blog, leaving me and the one that was leading in the dust..

Kevin Aylward says that there's no way their method works, but something fishy is going on.

Puma site, The Confluence was leading for best liberal blog until the Wonkette freaks started voting like maniacs.

Ana Marie is one of those "not too bad" women that get lots of action because their faces are tolerable and their tits are big. Once the gravity of age and/or their waistline catches up to the bustline, they're reduced to fantasy objects for chubby chasers.
