OK folks. Mere Rhetoric is getting beaten like a redheaded stepchild in the JIB Awards. Since about 70 percent of our readers are bloggers we're competing against, we don't expect much sympathy (yes - our readership is that intimidating). But to the three of you that come here for Zionist hip-hop and videos of hot, flouncing 20-something Israeli chicks - GO VOTE FOR US. There are a couple of brackets that are probably hopeless (Group B for Best News/Current Events Blog - effing bloodbath). But that shouldn't stop you from helping us make a heroic last stand, ala the Spartans at Thermopylae. Remember - our egos are very fragile. Without constant affirmation we might stop posting pictures of scantily clad Israeli models. And nobody wants that.

The categories you care about:

Best All Around - Best Large Blog
Best In Class - Best News/Current Events Blog
Best In Class - Pro-Israel Advocacy Blog
Best In Class - Best Right Wing Political Blog
Specialty - Best Contribution for our "Search The Center" pro-Israel (j)blogosphere search engine.

Do what's right. And by "what's right" we mean "what will provide us with a potentially inconsequential but vaguely career-advancing resume line"
