Blogging Elite Honored By Morning Call

To appreciate fully what I mean by elite, check put this pic (or should I say pick?), taken by Johnny Gee at last night's Morning Call blogging award ceremony.

All the losers were killed.

I'll write a more detailed report tomorrow. Of all the awards, I was most pleased to see Michael Molovinsky recognized as the most opinionated bastard of all.

If you want to know why George Wacker's blog is called Lehigh Valley With Love, this picture should answer that question.

Updated 9:40 AM: All the contest winners, as per The Morning Call, include yours truly in the "Politics" category. I had a 60 minute acceptance speech, which made the event last a little longer. To those of you who voted for me, thanks. To those who want me to rot in hell, thanks for helping generate interest in this blog.

By the way, Blogger is not allowing comments from anyone, even me, at the moment. This sometimes happens and this, too,shall pass.

    Bernie,

    Does anyone care what is reported in the Call anymore?

    I'm pleasantly surprised to see The Morning Call being published again. Haven't heard from them in a while. They used to cover Easton better than the hometown rag.

    No, he did not.

    Karma.

    Their names do not appear on The Mornng Call graphic, but Molovinsky won in best opinion blog. Mike Schlossberg's Chamber of Commerce blog won best business blog.

    Congratulations, Bernie - well done.

    Being a bottom-feeding blogger has its rewards!

    I'll make the same mistake the Morning Call did if I try to list them all. I'll wait a bit and list each blog by category.

    Not sure how the LV Chamber won, is all they do is repost garbage and rarely does anybody comment / engage?

    The Schlossberg blog won because the Morning Call was giving a shout out to the rising Allentown gay community. No surprise.

    Bernie: As an FYI, at last night's Bar Association "Reception for the Court" Judge Giordano delivered the "remarks from the bench" During a very nice speech he mentioned the phenomena in Northampton County where there are multiple generations of attorneys in a family. He then listed a bunch of examples. "The O'Hares" were included.

    Many folks have contacted the Morning Call regarding your win. Others have cancelled subscriptions because of your win. As one caller put it. "You honored a political hate blog and you lost my subscription".

    Well put!

    Tricia Mezzacrappa and the Gracedale Goons look like they'll be spending another lonely Saturday night, trollin' the blogs.

    Don't hate me cuz' you can't be me.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
