Votey-vote-vote!

Second-round voting has begun at the annual clusterfuck bunfest known as the Canadian Blog Awards.

A few observations:

First, while we at DAMMIT JANET! would never ever nohow noway countenance freeping, we are devastated to see that our fave braindead Blogging Tory, the shit-obsessed Dodo, did not make the cut in either category she was nominated in.

Next, while we at DAMMIT JANET! are officially grrrlcotting the clusterfuck bunfest, we are making a small exception for our close personal friend (OK, I met her once), Antonia Zerbisias.

A fab writer and especially fab researcher, AZ's feminist cred is unassailable.

She's nominated in two categories Best Blog by a Journalist and Best Political Blog.

Political Blog, remember, is the category that feminists -- but not LGBT bloggers -- were lumped in with.

Doncha think the boyos running the clusterfuck bunfest might pay a bit of attention if staunch if not radical feminist AZ won in BOTH categories?

Just a thought. . .

I should also point out that 2 of the 3 blogs in the Religion/Philosophy are anti-choice anti-gay fundamentalists. So support me (Terahertz), Benediction or Pulpit & Politics if you value not having extremist religion rammed down your throat.

Good point.

Done, Ian.

Here's the link to the religious blogs category.

Don't you think the women helping to run the CBAs would take offense to your use of "boyos" to describe them?

And isn't it cute that you broke your boycott too...

deBeauxOs said...

Speaking of boyos, how's that working out for you, having "Raphael Alexander" be the CBA spokesman?

Sasktoy: You're so cute when you come here to make irrelevant comments. And yeah, "Raphael (My Parents Screwed Me Up -- Waaaaa!) Alexander" is a sterling example of boyo-ism. He looks good on you.

Seems to me that this could be solved if there were a 'feminist blogs' category that wasn't defined as 'blogs written by women' or 'blogs written by women that occasionally mention feminism'. I mean, including some of those last year was about as clever as calling Canadian Cynic's blog a religious blog because he talks about religion (negatively).
