Best commenter is LizardBreath for her comments on Obsidian Wings. (I like her comments on Unfogged a lot too but they are not as germane to these awards.)

Most Deserving of Wider Recognition: Stayin' Alive

I nominate Rubber Hose in the category of "Most deserving of wider recognition."

Might it not be a good idea to have "weight classes" a la the Weblog Awards? You know, like best blog of blogs 500-1000, best of 1500-2000, etc. I was just thinking, it's tough for the little blogs to compete with most of the top blogs out there. A blog like Eschaton is sort of like Shaq and the NBA MVP award; Atrios could conceivably win it every year. Which wouldn't be a problem at all. But if the idea is to promote lefty blogs in general, then really the only category to try to squeeze the lesser known blogs into are the "Best New" and "Most deserving of wider recognition" categories. In any case, the Koufaxes are fine the way they are, but I just thought this might be a way to make them even better. If by chance your having to read this comment made the Koufaxes less fun for anyone, I am truly sorry.

Blog Deserving of Wider Recognition

we move to canada
wemovetocanada.blogspot.com

for americans considering a move to canada, there is very little current information out there.

this blog chronicles a new york city couple who applied and moved to the toronto area.

while the blog also highlights various political and personal issues, it has quickly become the best place for getting information (what you need to know, what to avoid, etc.) about moving to canada.
