Just as I was closing the gap on Scrappleface (down to 6% separating us from 8.5%), some site called Protein Wisdom comes out of nowhere and bounds into second in a couple hours. Skullduggery, I say! Skullduggery!
Anyway, keep voting for me because it is right and just and I told you to.
ENDORSEMENTS:
There are so few votes in the Best of the Top 100 – 250 Blogs category that we can push Meryl Yourish into the top spot. Win one for the jooooos.
I’m adding to my endorsements Bill Whittle of EjectEjectEject for Best Essayist because he writes good and there is something about his picture on his blog that makes him look so cool – though I can’t quite put my finger on it…
INDC Journal has my endorsement for Best New Blog.
The Flying Space Monkey has my endorsement for Best of the Top 500 – 1000 Blogs.
Blackfive has my endorsement for Best Military Blog.
Michelle Malkin has my endorsement for Best Media/Journalist Blog against the evil, evil Best of the Web. There is little chance of her winning now, but maybe we can at least rob Best of the Web of having a 50% mandate.
For Best Overall Blog, I now support NRO’s The Corner which has the God among men Jonah Goldberg (whom I have no plans to kidnap the dog of) and America’s favorite curmudgeon, John Derbyshire. It’s close to number one, so vote!
Bribes for more endorsements will still be considered.
Fish!
Sorry, in light of the present contest, I can’t be bothered to actually read your posts before replying to them. :p
Ditto on the reading. Hitting the F5 key too many times
Well, we all know what word sackofcatfood will use to respond when the contest actually comes around.
Actually, just type “a”. That’s a word.
Speaking of Joooos, there’s this cute little guy over at: http://www.benshapiroonline.com/ who endorsed you and believe it or not I linked to him through that tbogg guy’s site. Seems like a nice kid.
If there’s skullduggery afoot, then you should call shennanigans!
Jonag,
I didn’t know he had a blog. He’s one of the exclusive speakers of the contest sponsor.
first mentioned the sponsor….
I’m a little miffed that my beautiful new blog, Anywhere But Here, wasn’t nominated for a single thing. But I’ve faithfully been voting for you, Frank dear. Not to mention shamelessly trolling for blog traffic. Pathetic, I know.
You monkeys! Can’t you see Frank is stringing you along?! Can’t you see, he is going to take advantage of this carrot and everytime he hits the publish button for a post not related to the contest he is laughing at you?!
Yeah, I’d be doing it to, you monkeys.
I’m changing the time each day to help give different people a chance.
I get it hehe.. Bill Whittle is wearing your shirt hehe..
I think you should endorse me for Best Humor Blog. Now THAT would be funny!
Hey Frank I think this is truly treason. I voted this morning and there was no chance of anyone measuring up against you and Scrappleface. And the total vote count hasn’t changed a whole lot since when I voted. Treachery!
I did the math, and figured out that IMAO is only 1290 votes away from Scrappleface. I’m sure that IMAO gets way more than 1290 visitors each day. That, combined with the endorsements should be enough to put IMAO over the top, so why is IMAO still lagging behind? Even behind Protein Wisdom, who has no endorsements?
It’s actually 1,985 votes. I accidentally used Protein Wisdom’s numbers.
Protein Wisdom has endorsements from INDC Journal, Allahpundit, Jawa Report, and Cold Fury, among others, as well as Jesus’ General and Velociman (both of whom are part of the competition in his category).
As for big media endorsements, I suppose PW didn’t think to write to anyone and ask.
INDC betrayed me!
Sorry, I should have been a little more specific. I thought Allahpundit only endorsed A Small Victory. I haven’t seen any other endorsements there.
“Treachery!”
Hey.
How ’bout plugging No Oil for Pacifists for Best of the top 5000 – 6750 blogs? It’s got joy, heartbreak, and outrage. And, I’ve been voting for IMAO!

INDC betrayed me!
Jeff and I are friends, I had to go with him on this one. I endorsed him a few days before your endorsement, I think.
But my vote is always for sale.
You go Frank J! I’ve voted for you almost 4 times!
Also, I was curious about your word skullduggery. I thought it sounded kind of erotic – like something to try on my wife – but it isn’t, I looked it up. Instead I’m votin’ for you.
