Doug
Ross announced the 2016 Fabulous 50
Blog Award winners on New Year’s Day.
These awards
recognize a variety of blogs and websites operating in the conservative blogosphere,
all of which have worked tirelessly to promote conservatism, free market
capitalism, fiscal sanity, the sovereignty of the individual, and otherwise
protect America from the “cockroach-like Statists—some in very unique
ways.”
I am as proud as a
peacock to say I am friends with two of this year’s winners.
The Pirate’s Cove was awarded the Best Climate Blog, but the “Admiral” is
a well-rounded citizen journalist who unwaveringly links to this blog in his
weekly feature “Sorta Blogless Sunday
Pinup”. He was infinitely helpful in
getting our “Flowing Curves of Beauty”
feature off the ground. I am deeply
grateful to William Teach for his support over the years.
The Best Illustrated Satire blog award was
bestowed on my dear friend and SEC sister Diogenes who is the proprietor of Diogenes’ Middle Finger. She describes herself as someone who “casually
shrugs off a promising career as a technical innovator and major driving force
in the recording industry to write about politics.”
As a bit of a
Photoshop™ enthusiast myself, I appreciate the snarkiness Diogenes will add to
a graphic and then hang it proudly on the walls of her blog. Some of them are pure comedy gold.
Congratulations to
all the winners but a big ol’ hug goes to these two wonderful bloggers for
being recognized for their labor of love day in and day out. Thanks for standing guard over liberty.
