The Rodneys: 2007 edition

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Yeah, I don’t normally talk about these “blawg” awards, but here’s one I can get behind: The Public Defender Blogger Awards. Criminal defense blawgs are usually ignored in the year end blawg-awards, and the unique subset of public defender blogs are ignored further still. So to rectify that, PD Stuff created “The Rodneys” last year (appropriately named for Rodney Dangerfield, who “got no respect”).

With the year coming to an end, the second annual Rodneys are around the corner and the nomination process is underway. If you read some of the same blogs as I do (and I know a few of you do), I encourage you to go over to PD Stuff and take a look at the Rodneys. Perhaps you will discover some wonderful new blogs that you’d like to follow.

For now, they’re accepting nominations of PD blogs in the various categories and voting starts next week. I’ll link to the voting when it starts and I will keep reminding you folks to vote.

So here are the categories thus far:

Who woulda thunk that they Rodneys would be sexist? Why not a best blog by a black PD, or a Hispanic PD? Better yet, why not a best photo of Starr Jones pre-op and post-op? I would post more here, but I have to go make a nomination for best blog by an overpaid PD.

Wow. It seems to have struck a nerve with you!

The awards are just for fun - don’t take them too seriously. It is a popularity contest.

Why the categories as they are? I don’t know; why not?

I can’t take them seriously. I’m not a pd (putting aside whether I’m male or female). I’m just having some fun with the Rodneys at the expense of political correctnes.

Well, as a PD, I’m not taking it seriously either. It’s just a bit of fun for all of us that don’t get no respect :)
