Chile Loses

I could never be so arrogant as to take all the credit for our momentous defeat suffered in the 2007 Weblog Awards. This is a loss for Chile. In fact, most of South America and Spain got clobbered by a couple ballot-stuffing anti-castrista blogs. (Chile just committed libel).

Also worth considering that it wouldn't be that hard for subversive elements to vote against the fatherland by voting for the competition, not saying I suspect them of such intelligence but it's what I would have done if I were an Enemy of Chile.

Speaking of which I noticed one person commenting under the alias of something like Traitor Joel,

Have you seen that blog about Cuba? Man, you've got a tough fight ahead when you're facing in depth coverage of current human rights abuses like what they're covering over there. I mean, did you read the one about marking peoples hands in Venezuela!? I had no idea to be honest. I knew things were going to hell in a handbasket, but didn't know it was to that point yet.

Now is that any way to promote la Patria? Shame on you, Traitor Joel. (Although your discounted Chilean wine is amazing). The rest of you who were loyal to the end, Chile thanks you:

Sharing the loss are Lauren, Matt, Kyle and, most of all, Tomás. All other Chile bloggers were wise to stay out of the fray.
