Well, it was a fun distraction for a couple of weeks, but Open Left’s Mike Lux has won Air America’s “Favorite Progressive Blogger” contest.

After five weeks of competition, dozens of tweets, emails, and blog posts — …

Air America has posted what I think will be the final rankings update before their “America’s Favorite Progressive Blogger” contest ends at 5pm on Thursday. Somehow I’m still clinging onto the lead, but Mike Lux has screamed into second place. I am Monica Geller, dammit.

Today Air America released an updated ranking in their rebooted contest and its two homofascist/hellbound/pinko contestants are in the lead! Does the “Go me” dance.* Does the “Go Pam” dance.* Don’t worry, all this is over in a week, so you’ll only have to hear about it…say…seven more times.*Something like the cabbage patch. I think.

Air America has posted on their Twitter feed that I’m “neck and neck” in the semi-finals for their “vote for your favorite blogger” thingamajiggy. Thanks for yanking me out of 11th place, y’all! Voting form here. This round ends today. And this comes to mind for some reason: “I personally believe that U.S. Americans…..”

Apparently I am a semi-finalist in a contest I didn’t know existed. Air America Media is running a promotion asking you to vote for your favorite progressive blogger. The winner gets a week-long cruise to the Mexican Riviera with Air America hosts, including our heroine, Rachel Maddow. I’m way down at #11 in the semi-finals voting, which ends tomorrow. But …
