2008 Weblog Awards

Imagine my surprise to learn that The Torch has been nominated in the Best Canadian Blog category at the 2008 Weblog Awards. It took a bit of clicking to find out who tossed our name into the hat, but a big thank you to Master Flea for his expression of support.

Here's the list of finalists:

Best Canadian Blog

• Dust My Broom


• The Canadian Sentinel


• We Move to Canada


• Ezra Levant


• Buckdog


• Calgary Grit


• five feet of fury


• The Torch


• Attack of the Redneck Mommy


• Abandoned Stuff

Personally, I read DMB, Ezra, Calgary Grit, and the irrepressible Kathy Shaidle at FFofF regularly. Any of them would be worthy winners, and all of them have daily traffic that, quite frankly, dwarfs ours.

(And it goes without saying that Ghost of a Flea should have been on the list as well.)

But that doesn't mean I won't be encouraging you, Gentle Reader, to cast a ballot for us once the voting begins on January 5th!
