We’re Koufax Award FINALISTS! [UPDATED!]

Share article:

UPDATED 2/12/04: Thanks to you, we’re four for four!

Now that all the categories for Finalists in the 2004 Koufax (Best Blog) Awards have been announced, it looks like your votes have brought The BRAD BLOG to the final step in all four categories in which we were nominated as semi-finalists!

Thanks again to the fine folks of Wampum for sponsoring the awards, and thanks to you all for voting. Now that all the categories are announced, we promise this will be the last time (this year anyway), that we’ll ask you to stop on by to give us your vote!

If you are so inclined, please vote for The BRAD BLOG in the FINALIST voting in each of the following categories! (Click each of the links below, scroll to the bottom, and leave a Comment with your vote):

We’re in very good company! The competition is stiff now with some of the best (and widest read!) blogs up against us! So we’ll need all the votes we can muster to overtake some of the big boys!

Of the thousands (millions?) of blogs in the sphere, however, we’re pleased to have just made it this far!

Voting ends next Friday we’re told, so we’ll try to leave this item on top until then.

    Paul – This is a new item. The old one was/is here.

    That included your comments wherein you were criticizing readers here for not donating enough to The BRAD BLOG even while you failed to do so yourself.

    Being the type of "Republican" you are, however, we well expect for you to say one thing and do another. Perhaps you should put your money where your mouth is? (No PayPal account necessary if donating via Credit Card).

    Hope that catches folks up on the comments that you were concerned had gotten "deleted" (but hadn’t).

    A hypocritical Republican on a not to swift boat to China with our massive debt.

    The original title was "Slow Boat to China". It was a big hit. How prophetic. Didn’t figure in the high price of the ticket, though.

    Oh, and welcome all new Emoticons! I am impressed! It gets bigger and better by the minute on the Bradblog.

    True, Teresa. I was making a little joke about the 300 or so copies of the not so Swift Boat Vets’ book Paul probably purchased. All the radcons gave them to each other for Christmas gifts.

    Did you know that one of the Swifties said he was moving to massachusetts to run against John Kerry?
    The guy’s got a problem.
    How kind of the radcons. They can be so generous, can’t they? Soon they will be exchanging Chinese calendars.
    OR KOREAN!

    Predictably, my votes went to BradBlog. You’ve put together a grand thing, Brad, and I’m sure I can speak for us all in expressing our admiration and gratitude. And I’ve come to really love the fine folks who post here. Keep up the good works, and let’s all try to watch each other’s backs…

    Have been trying to figure out how to place the ‘s in a post, and now that I’ve sorta got the gist of it, Torqued upped the challenge with an animated .

    WOW!!!! .

    Just wanted to say how much I appreciate your tenacity and unrelenting sleuthing. You have my vote!

    > the not so Swift Boat Vets’ book Paul probably purchased

    Didn’t buy it. Didn’t see the Michael Moore film either.

    I thanked Michael Moore for helping Bush win.

    And Annrice, you only wish you had one!

    annrice said on 2/12/2005 @ 7:26pm PT: [Permalink]

    No, I don’t wish I had one. And if you’re supposed to be any kind of advertisement for the benefits of having one, we ladies want one even less (at least, not permanently attached)! 😛

    Well, Brad, however we come out in the voting BradBlog will be my first stop every morning and most likely my last stop each night – Bradville’s far and away the nicest place to hang out…

    Gee Paul, what a lame comeback! You ARE a dickhead! And, once again, you’re clearly no poster-boy for any benefit in having one!

    Suggestion from BIG DAN: Add a steamy cup of hot JOE to your picture of you taking a drag from a cigarette. You’ll look like one of those old-time back-alley detectives, with one of those fast-talking floosies as your secretary, ala Mickey Spillane!!! Possibly add one of those Spillane hats to your picture, too!!! It would look coooool……
