2004 Koufax Award winners.

The folks over at Wampum have just announced the Winners of the 2004 Koufax Awards. Lots of links to interesting blogs over there, although most of the them are the standard ones.

I know the folks at Wampum put in a lot of work to do these awards, but I can't say I'm all that impressed. I personally thought the behaviour of the so-called "leftist" blogosphere during the election year was abominable: dishonest, rude, irresponsible, and hypocritical. I was really disgusted, and still am. And to call themselves the "Left" while supporting someone like Kerry, whose proudest boast is that he volunteered to go kill commies is rather appalling. I don't see anything "leftist" about the ideas and policies promoted by most of these blogs. I think they're mostly about attempting to evade responsibility for their actions by blaming everything on Bush and the Republicans. Which is kinda disgusting.

And yes, they are dishonest. Especially in the failure to acknowledge and address the incredible corruption and corporate malfeasance of so many of the Democratic politicians. But what do I know?

Sorry I sound so angry, but I think most of these people are living in a dream world, and by doing so making things worse not better. For instance, leading people to believe that there's even the most remote chance that the Democrats would change or improve anything is ridiculous and immature.
