Indecision Nominated for Webby Award, NormColeman.com Appealing Decision
What the hell?!
It appears that — due to some kind of clerical error — Indecision has been nominated for a Webby Award. No doubt, the one that was supposed to go to AnalFission2008.com.
Obviously, a non-quantifiable portion of the credit for our nomination should go to Features Editor Karen Lurie and our regulariest contributors throughout the election cycle: Mary Phillips-Sandy, Matthew Tobey, Eric March, Dylan Ris, Ethan Ris, Gladstone, Gonzalo Cordova and G. Xavier Robillard.
And, of course, the producers who managed to keep us all out of jail, relatively sober and regularly posting: Michael Kraskin and Darcy Savit.
I'm honored to have worked with all of them, and I'm honored to have the site we've worked on nominated alongside some absolutely amazing websites, for which I have the highest respect.
Anyway, in case you're interested, I included, after the jump, a list that we compiled around New Years of some of our favorite of each other's posts from 2008.
Oh, and you can register to vote here.

Congrats…great blog!
Britain killed 30 million American Indians? Prove it!
The population of England and Wales in the mid-eighteenth century has been estimated at around 7 million. I am pretty sure most of them stayed at home during the colonial period.
I am also pretty sure the Maxim gun hadn't been invented by 1776.
Go ahead, "Daily Show" – substantiate your wild claims of genocide!
P.S.: Since you brought up the subject of comparative killing rates, even if "the British" – by which you presumably mean to implicate the "tyrannical" British government – had killed 30 million, the tyrannical American government has killed over 40 million since 1973.
And we all know who filibusters Supreme Court candidates who might oppose that killing, who scraps the Mexico City Policy, and who supports FOCA. That's right – not the party out of executive power these last three months.
So, you're correct. The "Tea Party" protestors, while complaining about relatively little, are ignoring real tyranny.
As is "The Daily Show".
Hoorah!
Wouldn't it be ironic if I accidentally voted for Fail blog and submitted the screen cap as a FAIL for Fail blog?
No, that wouldn't be ironic. It would be stupid. Go indecision!
Mary I'm nominating you for a Nobel Prize for Running With the Devil.
Ooh, ooh, I want a Nobel. Doesn't matter which category… peace, economics, drinking, whatever.
Congrats Indy. Someone call Acorn. Let's rig this puppy.
Did you know: The "G." stands for "gangsta."
while we're at it can we all give ourselves Peabodys too (like Papa Bear)?
