C&L Nominated for Three Blogger's Choice Awards
This humble blog has been nominated in the "Best Political Blog," "Best Video Blogger," and "Best Blog Design" categories.
The word from the upstairs office to the C&L staff is, "Feh, we don't care about awards, we just keep on putting it out as often and as well as we can, and let the chips fall."
Sure, John. But hey, it's nice that folks want to say that they like what we do. Thanks much for the noms, much appreciated.
frist? if so, what's my award??
C&L wasn't nominated for bestest [sic] and smartestest [sic] posters as well? Pffffft.
It was nominated for those awards because it is the BEST!
C&L deserves the recognition. I have learned so much from the bloggers. The commentary is often brilliant, impassioned and funny.
Thank you and keep up the good work.
Heheh heheh, the upstairs said "Putting it out..." Heheh.
Off to see how many different computers I can vote from...
Clearly one of the best. Must see blogging on the left for me starts with C&L, TPM (and Muckraker), and FDL. By the time you've read those, you're informed. Oh, and you need to check out a 'news aggregator' too. My favorite is POAC, but of course Raw Story and Buzzflash are also very good. I love POAC because they provide those great WWII-style posters.
Good on ya!
hey guys....just make sure that malkin doesnt get more votes
oh and vote for drunkenstepfather for best gossip blog...that guy is a riot
Congrats for the nomination. Since C&L is my daily addiction I'd have to say in my humble opinion you deserve the award. Best of luck and thanks for all your time and dedication to digging out the truth from the dredges (or should I say Drudges) of our mainstream press.
Registered and voted....good luck
Congratulations! Well deserved.
How many sites were nominated? This could just be the "Who's Who in Blogging" you know.
Not that you folks don't deserve the pat on the back. Or rump. Or head.
If you have Humility in Victory, and gain Wisdom from Defeat, you'll retain your sanity.
Very Cool and Very much Deserved! Congratulations to everyone involved with this great site.
My cat takes over my blog site on Fridays and he was nominated in the animal blog category. He's had a real attitude ever since he found out. Big head and ego to match. Sure hope you guys handle this better than he did. ;)
Personally I never liked awards. I used to take those I received in my various career achievements and such and put them into storage where I didn't have to look at them.
Congratulations on the nominations! I think some recognition is richly deserved. This blog publishes important stories and the video is wonderful -- it allows users to make up their own minds about things. That's what I really, really like about this place, it encourages thinking for one's self. This blog is what mainstream journalism, television and otherwise, should be.
You have already won in my book.

Mr. Amato & C&L staffers;

Congratulations guys! C&L is my favorite political blog! You deserve all the kudos you get. Keep it coming!

Does he use a special keyboard?
Paterno used to let his team celebrate for about 2 minutes after a win then said, "okay settle down with the nonsense we got another game next week to win."
Best Celebrity Blogger > Rosie.com
Only in Murica
Serial economic bubbles blog
There's a winner.
No fiver, Fred the Cat can't type. Murphy the dog types his posts for him. ;)
Ah, OK, so if you win one of those awards, are you going to tell Jesus what to do to it?
Seriously, congratulations! Pretty cool.
Guilty on all three counts! I'll donate again next week when I'm not broke. Thanks C & L, you're the best blog in the sphere.
Um, best design? Hmmm... Sure, the content is good for the most part and keeps me coming back but the design definitely leaves a lot to ask for.
Congratulations!
C&L is the first place I check everyday.
With just a smidge of pride, eh. You're allowed. (Just don't get like Bush-bubble material: no one likes that.) Congrats all around, for your hard work and excellent site!!! And I mean it.
congrats and good luck.
C7L is a terrific blog. Just the way it's set up makes
it the best. Congratulations.
No DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!! this blog is where i get most of my news.......No DUH!!!!!!!!!1
Well deserved. C&L is always the first blog I check in with when I go online. Keep up the great job. Your blog gives me ample reason to practice the deep breathing exercises my doctor wants me to do to keep my blood pressure down to a safe level. :-) And trust me, it's not easy, given what you continually unearth on the neoconthugs, et al.
Love C&L, (one of) best political blogs, you got my vote... but 'best videoblogger' + 'best blog design'??? Not so much.
Well deserved. Congrats again to all of you.
As I've said many times, this is the only blog I read. I read it many times daily and find the comments section to be as interesting as the posts themselves.
I take pride in being a participant here and recommend the site to others almost weekly.
yeah, way to go. i read the blog every day. you guys might want to use spell check more often though, and in the design category... really? you could start with a new banner/page topper. that logo is kinda hackish too. justsayin'
Congratulations!!!! Wonderful...and I hope you win all three...this blog has kept us informed, thinking, hoping and on a bad day knowing there was music and snark here made all the difference...
mindcaster @ 33:
I'm working on a new design for next year...I've been building up the infrasctructure to handle some expansion...Also I'm setting up a studio to do video blog reporting...
Congrats C&L and well deserved. But to be honest, this is not unexpected!
Congratulations. This is my favorite blog. Well laid out, timely topics, and music. How does it get better. That doesn't mean you should stop trying though. O.K.?
Congrats on the nominations!
John Amato @ 37:
ive been working on a plan to put on a musical play on a blogsite, the first play is [south pacific] ill need hoofers and a few good singers!
hey......you guys deserve it..........congrats....
yep...atleast here we get the truth....and get to discuss it openly.
hey i was going to go with[westside story]!
Congratulations to everyone at C&L!!! You so deserve all the accolades you get.
I found this site about three years ago (I think) & I read this blog each & every day...you are the best!!
Thank you for what you do!!!
I'll vote for the first two, but I just can't vote for best blog design lol.

Sounds a lot like our coach here in New England Bill Belichick, another proven winner.
Congrats C&L for the nomination and keep up the great work!
There are many 'good' web sites of this type, but C&L is one that I can't miss.
FYI: I use Firefox as my main browser and an 'extension' called "Morning Coffee" which loads all my favorite blogs and news sites into tabs for my daily perusal, and C&L is one of the staples of my daily diet. Well done!
Hurry up and go to the Blogger's Choice Awards, sign up, and start voting for Crooks and Liars, because Michelle Malkin's pit of horrors has more votes than C&L. While you're there, do also vote for The Existentialist Cowboy (political blog), for Athos99 (foreign language blog which is in fact a fabulous photoraphy blog), and if you're in the mood, for my blog. :)
Congrats!!!!!
Dudes--Every f***ing blog has these awards. Where have you been? They usually give them to themselves. Damn, breeders are so-o-o gullible.
Kudos to C&L! I know I couldn't get through the day without it. I mean that seriously, too. I'm not just blowing smoke.
My best to all of you... keep doing the good work.
