I have been conducting the Koufax Awards for four years now. The nominations for Best Series this year are by far the most far ranging and difficult to compile I have yet encountered. The nominations run the full range of subjects. We have nominations about Iraq and Katrina, of course. Other nominations include SCOTUS, Latoyia Figueroa, Jeff Gannon, John Bolton, bird flu, Jamie Berube, Zarqawi, lobster sex and many, many other topics. Please read and enjoy.
I am still looking for URLs to Norbizness' Annotated Presidential Comments. If you can help please drop me a line or leave a comment most anywhere on the site and I will add it to the list. As always, if I have left anyone out (and the chances of that approach 100%) please let me know I will do my best to correct the error.

Congratulations to all the nominees. We have now posted the nominations for 14of the 15 categories. While MB and Eric bask in the Florida sun, I will attempt to compile the last category (Best Bog, unsponsored division) and post the nominations soon. Once that is posted, all the categories will be opened for voting.
Comments open only for corrections and errata please. No votes just yet.
No matter what movable type says, I posted this not MB. All the blame is mine alone.
Dwight
