It would have been an honor just to have been nominated ....

Neither ProfessorBainbridge.com nor Mirror of Justice are nominated in any of the categories for the Catholic Blog of the Year Awards. It's a moral outrage, of course! One of my favorite blogs, Southern Appeal, is in the running for political blog, although it will get more than just a run for its money from Mark Shea's fine blog. Of course, Shea's on hiatus, which presumably will help SA. Plus Shea's also nominated in the best blog by a man category, while SA is also nominated in the best social commentary category, so loyal readers of both can support both in different polls. (Both are pretty conservative, so your mileage may well vary.)
