To be honest, I completely forgot about this but some good Samaritan took a moment to nominate this site for a Mobbie (one of Maryland’s Outstanding Blogs) in an annual contest held by the Baltimore Sun. Naturally, I’m nominated in the Politics category. I guess one can vote for my site here, if not just shuffle down to the politics category and vote for me there. (The icon is on my site now.)
(Yes, I know it’s a cheap way for the Sun to build its e-mail list, but humor me on this, okay? I’d like to finish closer to the top than to the bottom and represent the Eastern Shore since mine is the only blog from around here I recognize.)
And who knows? Maybe I’ll win the category – people tell me I have talent for this writing thing and it’s a good way to be recognized.
Update: For the record, there were only 22 political entries this year. Here’s how they stacked up, and I even looked up last year’s results as they were applicable. [Those results are in (parentheses) – most nominees are new this year.]

Nice work. I’ll have to check out the voting now.
Hopefully by next year our own blog at the MPPI will be up to snuff. It sort of only got off the ground several months ago.
