At least one reader was kind enough to nominate this blog as the best leftwing blog in the Koufax awards being run at Wampum (I’m backing my memory for the assertion that Sandy Koufax was a well-known left-handed pitcher, but Google makes recall of such trivial knowledge increasingly irrelevant). Looking at the excellent and popular blogs on the list, I don’t think there’s any serious prospect of making the cut for the top ten, but thanks to whichever reader(s) nominated me.

John Quiggin 
For the Dodgers
There is something weird about this whole idea, much as I think Quiggin should be solidly recognised. Left wing blogs competing to be “best”? I don’t even detect much of a sense of irony in the discussion- just people saying it would be hard.
Isn’t it a bit like feminists running a beauty contest?
My votes for the best:
left wing blog in Oz: Pr Q
right wing blog in Oz: Tim Blair
left wing blog in US: Cal Pundit
left wing blog in US: Steve Sailer
Special Mentions to Alterman on the Left and Professor Bunyip on the Right, for entertainment, if nothing else.
Ahh..Steve Sailershould be best right wing blog in the US.
But come to think of it, the good thing about good blogs is that they do not cleave to strict ideological or partisan agendas.
The Australian Blog Awards are being cooked up at the moment (and yes, Q. is nominated). Mr Strocchi should win in his very own category – “best use of bullet points and links in comments” to go with my proposal of “funniest commenter”.
