Just a few words to say how grateful we are at the CLR for the award of Best Political Blog (and apologies for not getting a chance to post this up earlier). Thanks to Damien and all at the awards and congratulations to the other winners. Also thanks to everyone else who participated in the process. And thanks to everyone who posts and comments here. For various reasons, one of which was the march, we weren’t able to make it. But its very important to have such events in the blogging community, particularly because of the broad spread of opinions and types of blogs. From reading others blogs (and a well deserved win of the Grand Prix Prize to Suzy Byrne) it sounds like a great evening…

Congratulations. I’ll be reading your blog in future.

I’ve written you an Open Letter on my blog. I’d be grateful if you’d read it.

Congratulations to all on getting the blog award – I wasn’t able to make it (due to work pressures) to do the sponsor thing. Which is probably good as I would have been standing on the stage by myself 😉

Well done again.

ENOUGH. I haven’t read such an orgy of mutual appreciation and backslapping since I was passed a copy of Mickey Riordan’s paean to Nicky Ceaucescu on the occasion of the Romanian CP’s 1989 jamboree.
Your blog is what 3, 4 years on the go and the Irish working class is still in thrall to free market capitalism. What’s the point of your blog if it doesn’t change anything? You’re a disgrace and you know it! In all that time you haven’t even been able to show me how to insert a smiling winky. If you won that award the rest must be rubbish. So there.

Joe, you raise some very important points, curiously not dissimilar to Johns…

I think though Bartholomew is right…
