U.S. News Blog Awards: Like the Rankings, Only Much More Anticipated

<em>U.S. News</em> Blog Awards: Like the Rankings, Only Much More AnticipatedAnyone feeling a little post-New Year's awards fatigue yet? Us neither! That's why we're spreading the good word about U.S. News & World Report's latest attempt at relevancy. The magazine's equal-opportunity education blog, PaperTrail, has opened up voting in four categories: Story of the Year, Newsmaker of the Year, Best College Paper Columnist, and Best Alternative Media Outlet. (We were disappointed to learn that you can only vote once, despite the poll's seemingly infinite ballot supply.)

Frankly, the last category is all we really care about here. So far, Wesleyan blog Wesleying (you might remember them from this) is absolutely tooling the Ivy runners-up, Columbia's Bwog and Harvard's Gadfly and Pablog. Don't know who to vote for? Watch the finalists beg for your love here, here, here and here. Guys, a word of advice? Trust us, pleading only backfires.

Non-Endorsement: It's hard to pick a favorite, because they're all talented. But whatever you do, DO NOT VOTE for Pablog. Don't vote for Pablo Torre's stupid-genius site name; don't vote for his always-on funny; don't vote for the fact that he unearthed this. Nope, under no circumstances should you vote for Pablog.
