We interrupt this blogging day with a little blogging awards news.
The Weblog awards are the oldest of the online awards I believe (2001) and are really very cool. Readers are exposed to some very interesting sites all over the world. Thanks to all the C&L readers who voted us in. I enjoy all the other political sites (except one) that are nominated for Best Political Blog, but if you can---throw a vote to C&L... that would be so kewl. (scroll down to find the category.)
Now back to our originally scheduled blogging....

i just read that kucinich is dropping out tomorrow. :(
Congrats to you all! well deserved!
congrats! C&L should win on merit. C&L could also for the most tolerant blog, considering some of the trolls who frequent this place.
Very much merited. You've got my vote.
C&L deserves it easily, because this site actually gives people a fair shake.
How in gods name the likes of holier-than-thou Kos and The Wonkette ever got nominated Ill never know.
gratz!
very well deserved, too!
=ck
Well deserved my friends...I can still remember the first time I found this blog...there I was searching for por....okay never mind
Okay, if I vote for you guys, what's in it for me? ;)
Are you going to put a chicken in every pot? Actually I'll just take the pot, I'm afraid the chicken would ruin the flavor.
Congratulations to all the hard working friends at C&L! Drinks are on me tonight. :)
O/T
Kucinich is leaving the race:

Congratulations! C&L has been one of my favorites ever since I found this site. :)
And do I ever agree with CoIntelPro. Lately this place has required two-handed shoveling and waders. But, pffft, they'll be gone as soon as the primaries are over. Maybe.
So C&L thinks they are a big deal?.....I couldn't agree more...lol Congrats!
Nice one C&L. You'll get my vote.
Great, now your bonafided... When you speak, they will listen ... Let's tell them what we really think... Congratulations! !
I totally agree with Gary. On many (and of course the MSM blogs) it seems, and probably is the case, that responses that dont tow the agenda of the site are filtered out. My local paper goes a step further.. it allows other views to be posted on their forums, so long as the views actually have the effect of keeping people from looking any further into the matter. An example would be that to respond with links and real forethought would be filtered regarding forms of taxation, but someone named "dopefiend69" could post something like "incom tacksez are a neocon conspiracy!!! YOULL SEE !@#!" and that will be admissible.
Congratulations!
Nice. Perhaps all this recognition merits a redesign for 2009?
thier goes my fifty bucks , when will i ever learn!
P Dizzle @ 7:
Me too! I was looking for pork recipes and I hit something about pork barrels and wound up here. Feels like home.
Yeah, C&L should win, best blog.
But I scrolled down, and couldn't find a category for 'Anti-Bush, featuring internecine battles between posters', so I voted under the 'Political' category.
Actually, 'C&L Uber Alles' would be more accurate.
Congrats to y'all!
YAY for C&L!!!!
Best political blog in my book.
Congratulations to my favorite site! Let's party like it's 1984!

Hey, what happened to the post about the state of the union speech? Oh well, it's cocktail hour anyway. I'm outta here.
Again, Congratulations to all you guys. :)
See ya tomorrow.
Thanks everyone!
Crooks and Liarz roolz!
Discovered Crooks and Liars a few months ago and love it. Good luck!
Congrats C&L. You guys are the best. I apperciate your putting up with most of the ranting here. I'm guilty of a rant now and then and you guys are so understanding. I still want a duel with Ed Rogers. He chickened out, just like all his ilk.
Congrats!
Now get out the word -- Somebody grab the clip! -- Look for the first 15 minutes of tonight’s Hardball — somebody on the panel (Chuck Todd, Joe Scarborough) mentioned waterboarding Frank Luntz and the live crowd in the background goes nuts and interrupts the show for a good minute. "Tough crowd... sorry Frank."
Must see...
Congrats on the award! I voted once again for you just now. So what do I get in return for my support? Hey, thats the way the Republicans do it. :lol:
Once again, congrats! :)
Joe O. @ 28:
Oops, look like I misread or maybe I was jumping the gun. Congrats on the nomination! :)
John(and Nicole, Logan, Bluegal, nonny, Mike, Bill W, cross-posting Steve Benen):
Kudos! Well deserved!
But if you lose, then, well, you suck. ;)
But at least a loss won't cost me a vacation...goddamned Packers...
Congrats C & L, you all do a darn good job - keep it up.
Andy K @ 30:
Mike Finnigan, too...No harm intended, Mike! Just don't end up sucking!
jafari @ 15:
Working on it as we speak.
Gratz C&L you deserve it, Gratz to all the posters you deserve it too, but most of all Gratz to all the Crooks & Liars out there that make this site possible ;)
and of course big gratz to the judicary for sticking it to them :)
John Amato @ 33:
Hopefully you'll keep the cartoon guy. He always cracks me up when I come to C&L. If not, thats okay because I bought one of your mousepads some time ago and he is on it. :lol:
Congrats
yahoo & AtT will be a thing of the web past...poof for deleting accounts at will for gop party..
soon
C&L is the best. It's my first stop in the morning and I come back all day long for more.
Congrats John and everyone for some well deserved notice.
Now let's go out there and kill that Fisa immunity bill!!!!
Wow C&L,
Congratulations and good job.
Keep 'er honest, and keep 'er open, and there will be no stopping you.
Done. Where's my check?
pissed off patricia @ 22:
Maybe the post on the State of the Union was pulled because the State of the Union speech was canceled. The poor speechwriters were sitting in the room, the doors kept opening with Cheney and Bush and the whole staff shouting at them, 'Keep it positive....nothing negative...etc., etc.'
So they came up with 'My Fellow Americans, Barney dint die. Thank you'
done , babypops.
Preacher Boob @ 40:
lol:)
Done...
C&L and Gismodo...Love these sites!
Excellent Job!
That deserves an Atta Boy!
Way to go C&L!!!!! Congrats and keep up the great work!!
old hack @ 44:
If you're still here OH, could you possibly explain the last clause of that quasi-sentence.
John Amato @ 33:
John - will you run it by these troops, before you decide upon changes, as you did last time ? The visual clarity/ non-crowding is the great strength, please keep it !
Re: vote - before I submitted my vote for you, I went back up to make sure, and the 'checked /dot' has jumped from C&L into another one !! So, whoever votes, please make sure the "DOT' is in the same slot as you clicked just a moment before, when you submit at the bottom !
Gekke @ 42:
The SOTU post was for tomorrow and Word Press decided to post it today. It was weird. The time here was like 3:15 and the time stamp on the post was 4:37..Anyway, we have no room today for it with the wingnut debate tonight..
You guys rock, thanks for being the best!
no brainer...C&L is the best political blog hands down.......
I'm addicted to C&L.
OK, I'll admit it.
I start and end my day here.
I CAN help it.
I don't want to stop.
So I won't.
Thanks again, John Amato.
[I hope the redesign is also faster.]
Oh geez, talk about posting a story late
I had it in my blog last week
If I had the wherewithal to start my blog
B O R I N G!!!!
(Just doing my part in case any trolls don't show up.)
lol...
Good luck C&L!
you are the best, for sure!! hope you win.
CoIntelPro @ 3:
Absolutely. For that I'm thankful :) Congrats C&L your blog still rocks!
Congrats!
At C&L you know where a post start, and where it ends.
Not the case at DailyKos..
Gotcher back.
Congrats to everyone at Crooks and Liars.
Ditto.
hurray!
err.. hip hip
Faux News of the left, lets just hope Nascar doesn't catch wind of this. An entire demographic of sheepish ideologues just ripe for the picking.
ThePainfulTruth @ 65:
Funny, but Nascar forums link C&L all the time. I welcome their support.
I DID IT!!!!
I DID IT!!!
But are you ready for a Factor Attack that may come?
who did perez hilton blow to get nominated in so many categories??
good luck john....but by cutting out other political categories, they put all the heavy hitters up against each other
You earned it C@L, good show.
It's because, like Kucinich, C&L holds the Bush administration accountable for their crimes.
I can't wait until monday to witness the beginnings of the Impeachment of george w bush. Life has it's ups as well as downs.
John....that is 'blocked' at work...but I'll do it when I get home!
I want to start my own website on flogging blogging.
Hopefully the vote isn't split among the liberal sites and Instapundit get the nod.
This is the first place I come to when Something Happens. This is the link I most often refer to when passing information on to friends. And even when I'm so full of despair that I have to block out everything else, C & L is always there to help me realize that IT'S NOT ME. It's this friggin' right-wing, choke-hold, lie-spewing blanket that Americans, as workers, could easily overthrow with the power of their wallets. If only they'd read Crooks and Liars.
Congrats. Well-deserved. What a remarkable job you all do.
this is an amazing place. is there an equivalent site on the right side?
