Jewish-Israeli Blog Awards
Voting has ended for the Jewish-Israeli Blog Awards and results are here. I am very glad that Seraphic Secret won best personal blog, since I nominated it. Congratulations, Robert! Unfortunately too many other good blogs didn't even make it into the finals (and I'm not talking about this one).
I have a suggestion for the organizers for next year: Allow any blog to be nominated in as many categories as desired, but don't allow a blog to win in more than one category. Give the blog the award for the highest number of votes in any one category, then in any other category that blog has won, give the second highest voted blog the award. If that blog has won in another category, give the award to the next one down the list, and so on.
I would also consider making "professional" blogs ineligible, although that is hard to define. For example, Dry Bones has been publishing cartoons in Jewish publications for years. He already has a reputation in another medium. Therefore in these awards he has an unfair advantage. (I can also imagine many good arguments against doing this.)
But my first suggestion will allow more blogs to be discovered and read.

I find Seraphic Secret to be a bad bed of lies.
Robert there makes claims w/ out any proof ever.
Typcial example "A Hollywood exec said, blah blah blah (some wacky liberal idea. Beyond liberal really, but Robert likes to lump anything not ultra conservative as liberal), but when asked for a link, silence.)
What is the secret of this popularity? IS the audience happy to be treated as idiots?

Robert is recounting conversations he has had in his line of work. Why should there be a link? And I have heard enough inanity out of Hollywood stars and execs to find everything he says plausible.
And the vast majority of his posts are about his family: his long loving relationship with his wife, and the grief of his son dying. Do you really have the gall to claim that is all lies? Who the hell are you?
