We were vaguely aware that awards season is upon us again (didn't it just end?), but totally floored to learn that we've been nominated for Best Pro-Israel Blog in the Jewish Israeli Blogosphere Awards. We know that the proper response to a nomination is disaffection and nonchalance, but this is the first nomination MR has received for any blog award ever. Voting begins April 22, and you know we're going to be pushing this like a trained rat hitting a morphine button in some kind of complicated and vaguely disturbing experiment. So if grating, gratuitous repetition annoys you, we apologize in advance. Although that would help explain the precipitous decline in hits for our Jimmy Carter and Juan Cole posts.
