They're coming.
Problem is, I tried to do the toughest one, e.g., one needing the most research, this weekend, while fighting off MS-episode-related vision problems (you know, when one eye wants to look one way, and the other absolutely refuses to synch, opting instead to head in the opposite direction...) So, I've put that post on the back burner until both eyes get their act's straight, and am pulling together the others, which don't require as much clicking through various websites looking for lists of posts.
So even if you've already voted, take the time to read through some of the really great blogs while you await the next group of nominees.
Update: Actually, this might be the time for some Koufax Jeopardy.
The answer: Two rightwing parody blogs, included as "honey pots" to keep malevolent wingers out of our hair while they try and pull one over on us by voting bad satire into the finals.
The question: What are?
Update1: Regarding Koufax Jeopardy - the two aforementioned satirical RW blogs are WITHIN the listings of Koufax nominees! The were nominated (many times over, in fact) and so I put them in as "honey pots". Find the blogs! (and those of you who emailed me over the weekend, no cheating.)
(Note: I know that the would-be villians enter via direct links to the posts, so don't imagine they'll even see this post letting on that we were playing them for the fools, not the other way around.)

Koufax Jeopardy seemed like such a fun game to play...so I started to run throught the list...and, you know, it is difficult to figure out the "slant" for many of the blogs (as good parody should make fun of all sides)...the calvary struck me as a little harsh on liberals...but some of the voters who voted for it passed the "smell test."
But then...I hit upon a horrible, horrible, horrible blog that isn't funny in the slightest...and is full of the most hateful, mysogynistic crap I have ever read on the internets...
If it's not a right wing blog...it doesn't matter...since it's not "progressive" or "liberal" at all. And it pissed me off so much reading the hate on it...that I stopped playing Koufax Jeopardy.
My pick for loser of the blogosphere is Decadent West.

Blame Bush?
I don't read too many others, I just stumbled on this one a long time ago when I first started up with Typepad! Larry's pretty funny for a Thug.
