So voting for the Catholic Blog Awards is underway and I figured I'd do a bleg post like everyone else. Currently, I'm nominated for the following categories:

• Best Apologetic Blog
• Best Designed Catholic Blog
• Best Individual Catholic Blog
• Best New Catholic Blog
• Best Overall Catholic Blog
• Best Political/Social Commentary Catholic Blog
• Most Informative & Insightful Catholic Blog
• Most Spiritual Blog
• Smartest Catholic Blog

While I don't do this for the accolades, they're always nice. To win in any of these categories would be a real honor given the competition. If you feel so inclined, every/any vote would be appreciated.

All blegging aside, some of my favorite Catholic blogs (i.e., folks I'd like to see win if I don't) are the following:

• creativeminorityreport.com (funny is as funny does)
• Some Have Hats (I'm in her fan base because she's got gills)
• Feminine Genius (to learn about authentic feminism)
• The Shrine of the Holy Whapping (safekeepers of Piously Over Devotional (POD) Catholicism)
• The Ironic Catholic (where theology and irony meet and inside jokes are the rule)
• The Curt Jester (who makes me laugh even on sour days)
• Danielle Bean (you can't beat her Lenten guidance -- truly top notch!)
• Holy Cards for Your Inspiration (where I stole the present head logo)
• closedcafeteria (as if Gerald needed another plug)
• The American Papist (seriously...could his caption contests get funnier?)
  

If any of these are blogs you've never heard of, do check them out.
