Koufax Awards... the first chance to vote in 2006

Text courtesy of Vince at Capitol Annex...remember, when you vote you have to include the URL's. You can vote by sending this ballot to koufax | at | nic-naa | dot | net.

Texas' progressive bloggers had a heck of a year in 2006. From TexRoots to exposing scandals like CondoGate, we "crashed the gate" and rocked the (Texas) House, helping Democrats up and down the ballot.

Now, it's our turn for a little recognition. Every year, the Koufax Awards
honor work by the best bloggers of "the Left" (hence the award being named
after a lefty baseball player, Sandy Kofax).

The Texas Progressive Alliance has, as a group, come up with a "Texas
Ticket" that we are asking all of our readers to nominate for the Koufaxes.
The "ticket" is below. Blogs with the most votes will make it into the
second round of voting and we'd like to see Texas blogs up for the finals in
every category of the Koufaxes.

Voting is easy. All you have to do is copy the list below and paste it into
the comments section on the Koufax Awards site, which is here .

You can add additional blogs to this list as well, but we do ask, in the
hopes of supporting Texas bloggers, that you vote this entire list,
especially since all it requires is a "cut & paste."

Yes, I'm pimping the hell out of the blog. You bet. The Mayor and I both thought it appropriate, even when we were sober.

When were we sober? Certainly not the night of the Giant Wax Cock.

No, no... Wednesday before my drink came.
