And The Nominees Are...
Just got this e-mail from my pal GayPatriot:
Amy--You made the first cut for the competition for grande conservative blogresss diva. Based on the comments and e-mails we receive, we'll determine who'll make the final ballot--GayPatriot » Nominees for Grande Conservative Blogress Diva 2009
This is how we define a conservative blogress diva (which you are merely by dint of this iniitial nomination): "a diva as strong, talented and confident woman who commands the respect of men." A conservative blogress diva "need not be conservative herself . . . , but must by the the power of her prose, the eloquence of her expression and the intelligence of her ideas have earned them the enmity of the angry left and so endeared her to gay men like us who admire strong women who speak their mind, even at the expense of encomia from those in the entertainment industry and the MSM."
All the best,
Dan

UPDATE: Thanks, guys...just got this e-mail from GayPatriot:
(My earlier e-mail back to him): Well, let's hope some people vote for me!GayPatriot: Looks like you got enough seconds to make the official ballot which will be announced on Friday
Congratulations on the nomination! I have to wonder, though, why their standard is "commands the respect of MEN," rather than simply "commands respect." I didn't see anything in the title "conservative blogress diva" that implies it's meant to speak to a gender-specific audience - am I missing something?
