And I Nominate...

I'm kind of charmed by the Catholic Blog Awards, so I was itching to nominate someone. Hopefully I'll come up with more later to but to start the day off right I've nominated Scott Carson of An Examined Life for "most insightful blog" (how else could one describe a blog that finds fascinating things to say about McDonalds, the Mitford novels and Frank McCourt all in the same week) and Fr. Martin Fox of Bonfire of the Vanities for "best blog by a priest or religious" (need one say more?).

However, I must say there are some catagories that I think they could add:

Best Eastern Rite Blog: Pauca Lux Ex Oriente (keeper of the Holy Hand Grenade awards)
Best Use of Astronomical Imagery: CatholicSensibility
Best Retired (Aging?) Blog: City of God
Best Conservative Catholic Science Writer: Farrell Media
Most Subversive Fake Blog: Blogging Ex Cathedra
Most Papal Blog: Musum Pontificalis

Special thanks to CollegeCatholic (best by someone who was in kindergarden when I was in junior high?) who nominated us for Most Intellectual Blog -- though I think I'd have a better chance in "most long-winded blog".

LOL. Thanks for your consideration. I agree, I am entirely worthy of some meaningless and non-existent category. Neverhteless it is rewarding to know others feel the same. ;)


Though I think an Eastern Rite catagory is a great idea. Most of us are Latins (and Latin-centered) and therefore our Eastern brothers tend to get lost in the mix. You should propose that to whoever it is that organises this thing.

Personally, Rick, I think the holy father would stand a very good chance if he would get his rear in gear and do some blogging. If you run into him having a beer one of these days, make sure you remind him...

You know, I am amazed at some of the low hit counts received by some really outstanding blogs. How about a category for "Best Blog That Nobody Reads"?

Keeper of the Holy Hand Grenade Awards.

I like that. Might have to include that in my festspiel. Thanks.

Thanks also for the various kudus, guys. Do keep up the good work.

This is great! I can't believe it! Thanks a lot!

Oh, wait a minute...now I'll never win that Best Blog That Nobody Reads Award....

Hmm.....
