Welcome to the party, Wonketteers!!!! Take a stroll through our very popular site, which determines the BEST of the Best in the DC Blogosphere and the WORST of the Worst in the DC Blogosphere, and give us your feedback. Several of you have already emailed us (bestdcblog at yahoo dot com) nominees for future BEST DC Blog contests. Keep sending them and feel free to enter them in the comments too! We’re all here to do the down and dirty job of determining the BEST of the Best and the WORST of the Worst in the DC Blogosphere:::::and we’re always glad to have your input.
This week’s contest is to choose the WORST of the Worst. So, while you may leave your nominations now for the BEST of the Best, we won’t use those names until next week at the earliest. Later tonight the polls will open, and EVERYONE will have the chance to vote on the WORST of the WORST, so stick around! We want YOU to vote too!!!
Here are what’s left in the contest to be the WORST DC Blog. We are NO LONGER accepting nominations to remove blogs from the list. Voting opens LATER tonight!!:
It’s not everyday that you find a blog that GETS it, is it? Some people just don’t and never will. Well, we at BEST DC Blog have thick skin so we can stand the heat. But, kiddos, if it’s not everyday that you find a blog that GETS IT, it’s definitely not everyday that you find a blog that REALLY GETS IT or that REALLY, REALLY GETS IT. We’re talking about the rarest of blogs that can laugh both at us and with us, that can punch is in the eye while winking with their eye. THAT is what WE at BEST DC Blogs call CLASSY. Classy is when you GET IT and you LIKE IT!
Every month we give a Classiest Blogger of the Month Award. For this month, February 2007, we are pleased to have the very distinct HONOUR and PRIVILEGE to give the award to::::::::::::Ar-Jew-Tino!!!!!!!!!!! For Ar-Jew-Tino’s keen sense of classiness and for being a WONDERFUL TEAM PLAYER, we give him the Classiest Blogger of the Month Award!
Runners up for this month’s award are: Brunch Bird, Bee Log, & The Republic of T.
Here are what’s left in the contest to be the WORST DC Blog. We are NO LONGER accepting nominations to remove blogs from the list. Voting opens LATER tonight!!:
Last round, Round 2 Eliminating Round, the voters saved The Republic of T and City Sparkle from the WORST Blog List.
Now this is your LAST chance to save any of the nominated blogs from the WORST Blog List before we vote on the WORST of the WORST in the DC Blogosphere. Are any of these blogs worth saving from the shame and humiliation of being on the WORST list? YOU DECIDE!
Also, according to our much-published Rules, Bylaws, and Regulations, any of the saved blogs can return to the list with eight (8) nominations from eight (8) different commenters.
To save a blog from the WORST list, that blog needs five (5) fresh nominations from five (5) different commenters. Leave your nominations in the comments of THIS post. Let’s see if you want to SAVE or just VOTE!

The First Round, Eliminating Round, is now OVER!!! And, boy, are we ever getting a bunch of flack for our innocent little contest!!!! Well, at least Brunch Bird and Bee Log GET IT!!! And that’s why we loves them. Because they GET IT and because they are CLASSY. Also, as an administrative note, it seems that our Editorial Assistant made a bit of a mistake. Bee Log was meant to be nominated as a BEST DC Blog but made it on to the WORST contest. The Editorial Assistant apologizes from the bottom of her heart, and we’ll make sure to put you in a future BEST contest.
You spoke LOUD and CLEAR and told us to save four (4) blogs which are not bad and definitely not the WORST. You’ll see their names below with lines through them.
Now, onto Round Two, Eliminating Round. We can eliminate up to four (4) more blogs in this round. Each blog that’s to be saved from the WORST list needs five (5) fresh nominations from five (5) different commenters. Leave your nominations in the comments of THIS post.
