Wow! Very conservative choices. I’m speechless.
I’m not sure I understand this 52-post/year requirement. Some posts are longer or more researched than others. Having less doesn’t make the blog any less involved or important.

I’d refer you to this post on the topic:

Surprised Steve Heimoff didn’t make the cut. But as a journalist maybe he’s too literate…
There is no joy here…
I just need to point out that one of these finalist blogs regularly features pictures of naked girls.
I can’t decide whether that’s very weird, or totally awesome.
Ah, democracy feels great.
Hmmm.
This seems a bit over done, “been there” “done that”…
Of the million and one blogs out there, couldn’t there be a slumdog millionaire candidate. The underdog? The new guy? The one with exciting things to say? Illogical musings?
At least create a category “Hottest Blogger”, so you know, I could have a shot at SOMETHING.
how can The Wine Cask Blog http://winecask.blogspot.com make the cut in the Wine Reviews next year?
So much for interesting surprises. Yawn.
Steve Heimoff?!?! Love his blog, too and he should be a finalist.
Hey 1WineDude,
Believe me, it’s totally awesome. Someone has to have fun with all this, might as well be me.
Ron – I *knew* I liked you…!

Man errs so long as he strives.
I don’t think that when people grow up, they will become more broad-minded and can accept everything. Conversely, I think it’s as electing process, knowing what’s the most important and what’s the least. And then be a simple man.
Please need to point out that these Bork usually take the naked girl as the characteristic picture finals contestant.

On December 29 Ross struck his deal with Chris-Craft Chairman Herbert Siegel. Caught off guard, Murdoch petitioned the Federal Communications Commission and a Delaware court to block the stock swap. But the deal went through on January 18. Though he vows to fight on, Murdoch seems uncharacteristically indecisive about how to proceed. At recent prices, raising his holdings to 50% of Warner would cost him nearly $1 billion, a large sum for a man whose present $130-million investment in Warner is the largest he’s ever made. Murdoch’s principal adviser, Stanley S. Shuman, an executive vice president of Allen & Co. Inc., an investment banking firm, has been talking to prospective partners for Murdoch in the event he does decide to make a tender offer. But Murdoch appears queasy about getting in a high-stakes bidding contest. In assessing how high he might go, he says, “Atari is the great unknown.”
I love businesses that post about gourmet products. Gourmet food items are quickly becoming a chosen purchase of wealthy families with internet gourmet stores. Upscale restaurants have also adhered to more gourmet food buying from ecommerce food stores as well. Gourmet food purchased through the internet will go on to grow. http://www.yourgourmetfoodstore.com
