The Wolf Howling post, the winner, is a truly inspired and excellent entry, perhaps the best of all the nominees I’ve read this year. I thought it was great. I’m saving it. I’m printing it. I’m going to think about it quite a bit over the next few days.

And the winner in the other category, the BeldarBlog entry, is quite good as well, outlining why Sarah Palin should not be considered just another Obama-like celebrity entry onto the national scene. (Well… that Republicans at least, should take another look, before they buy into the whole celebrity meme.)

Some of the other entries were pretty good, too, but those two truly do stand out!
