It's A Major Award!
Don't look now, but none other than our very own Atomizer is being recognized by his peers for his Rock Solid contributions to the blogosphere. (sniff) Our little boy done good.
UPDATE: In the spirit of one hand patting the other on the back, I submit the second nomination for the 2005 Rock Solid In The Blogosphere Award:
Sisyphus (By Chad The Elder)
Sex, sex, sex. It's not easy writing about The OC, Antonia Bernath or fake breasts, especially since these divisive cultural issues elicit strong visceral responses from readers and those with a dog in the fight. But Sisyphus covers these issues with scrupulous fairness, and he always treats some not-so-friendly folks with the utmost respect.
His balanced, insightful writing makes him a credit to Nihilist in Golf Pants and the blogosphere at a time when our choice of sleepwear is under attack. Plus, he's always willing to help other bloggers, he's diligent and really knows his stuff.
I nominated Sisyphus for Rock Solid over Blogs of Distinction because he's consistently produced good work in the six months he's been blogging. I became particularly impressed with him when he helped bring Nick Coleman, the Strib's top hack columnist who has a history of using libelous slurs in regard to conservative folks, down a peg or two. During a recent drinking bout at Keegan's, I was impressed with the way he dealt with advocates on both sides of the hot-button "Would you have ever done Jeanine Garafalo?" issue. He's very patient. I, on the other hand, let's just say I'm not.
