Find out which blogs were voted as the best -- and worst -- by their fellow bloggers. You can see won these once per year awards, which are the oldest and most prestigious in the conservative blogosphere....
The results are quite interesting, and I participated (which is not something I normally do). I don't spend much time putting down other bloggers, so the toughest part of this survey was disclosing which blogs annoy me the most.
(It's interesting to see proof that what annoys me does not necessarily annoy others, but then I always knew I was a bit of a crank.)
Nicely done survey. I won't spoil it by repeating the results, but it absolutely intrigues me that one of the top vote-getters in the "Favorite Columnist Who's Not A Blogger" category was also one of the top vote-getters in the "Least Liked Columnist Who's Not A Blogger" category. But then, maybe that's because it's not entirely clear whether the person in question is also an entertainer.
And there's a well-known blogger who managed to be a top vote-getter in the "Most Annoying Left-Of-Center Blogger" and the "Most Annoying Right-Of-Center Blogger" categories. (Just for the record, I didn't vote to put that blogger on either list, but it's a fascinating sign of the times that anyone could be considered an annoying leftist and an annoying rightist at the same time.)

I followed the link before reading your essay and was surprised that the part I found most interesting you also found interesting enough to highlight. The most annoying left and right of center blogger doesn't surprise me that much--there is much disagreement over whether he is right or left, but not much disagreement over whether he is annoying.
I add one observation--that the columnist who is on both the most and least liked lists was the only non-NYT columnist on the least liked list.

I've recently gotten a few links to www.isrudygay.com in my inbox and realized I haven't seen much about it on Classical Values and thought you might enjoy the link.
