A scholarship for blogging?

By See-Dubya  •  October 19, 2007 01:46 PM

What a great idea–get college students hooked on an addictive, time-sucking pastime instead of studying. Why, next they’ll offer Methamphetamine Addict Fellowships!

Seriously, though, they’re having a runoff election to see who gets the ten grand, and one of the finalists is a fellow named Matthew Burden. Whom you might know better as milblogger Blackfive.

If you’d like to give him a hand, go here and vote for him! Voting closes the 28th; I think you’re allowed to vote daily.

(Come on, folks, last year a Kos diarist calling himself “Mister Liberal” won.)

    The gal that is leading it, by a big margin, is going to law school and has breast cancer. So she is going to get the sympathy vote, and I can’t fault folks for voting for her, but Matthew got my vote.
    Actually a couple of times.

    I noticed in the weblog awards that if there was one liberal in a category and the rest were conservatives, or vice versa, that guy had a real advantage.

    I’m not familiar with the other bloggers here but I think Matt is the only conservative.

    Miss MarciLyn,

    I’m in love with a moonbat. Moonbat evidence: She really believes Stark spoke truth to power. She doesn’t see anything wrong with birth control pills being handed out in a middle school. She has BDS. She believes BJ Clinton was the best president in our lifetime. Edwards was her favorite candidate until he opened his mouth and spoke.

    At least she thinks Carter’s become insane.

    Our votes will probably cancel out for the rest of our lives. I’ve known other couples like this though.

    Al in St. Lou - listen to the heckles on the back of your neck. Leopards don’t change spots, political beliefs don’t change either. Do yourself a favor, and your children down the road, and find someone who shares your views to some degree. That combination has a will to work together and fight for a common cause. The alternative is to split resources and never really commit to a shared goal.

    Am I the only one who can’t vote this weekend? Or does it mean that we broke the site on Friday? (I don’t think that it’s a Mac thing, although it may be a Firefox thing, as I had the same problem with my Windows-running computer.)
