The Envelope Please

Say did anyone know about this new award? Apparently PC Canada, no not Progressive Conservative silly, Personal Computing, has judged the election websites and blogs and found them not wanting. Election 2006: Forget the best platform, who has the best blog, website?

And the winner? Two out of Two best website and blog goes to......the BQ!

Runner ups the Green Party and Conservatives. No mention of the NDP or Liberal election websites. Do I detect a corporate bias here?

Then they go and say this, which I still can't make heads or tails of. No matter how much I scratch the old puzzler.

Most Puzzling Feature on any Website Award
The Blog
Lowdown: It's not that we don't love the mud slinging. And it's not that
we don't like blogs (perhaps one of the most democratic mediums of expression
developed in the last century). But, simply put, we fail to understand the
wisdom of putting together a whole campaign based on scientific marketing
studies and craftily spun information, only to have it ruined by someone who
wants to compare Jack Layton or Olivia Chow to a dog (various Liberals), or
secede from Canada if they don't win this election (see: Alberta Conservative
campaign manager Gordon Stamp). For our money, save the rants for the House of
Commons and leave the blogs for people who want to complain about broken
election promises.
Huh? Neither of these Blogs was on any official web site. And Gordon Stamps comments were on a Web Forum page. This comment makes no sense. But then they gave best Web site in English to the Conservatives and that makes no sense either.
