Here are the entrants for the first Orwell Prize for blogs.

I find myself on the list sandwiched between Charlotte Gore (Reluctant LibDem) and a splendid blog extolling the Greatness of Tony Blair, the rather one-dimensional subject-matter proclaimed with verve and gusto.

Archbishop Cranmer may be hard to beat: stylish, perceptive and energetic.

And there’s Innerbrat: female, bisexual, atheist, white, cissexual, honest.

Hmm. Cissexual? Hard to tell from the definition whether it is fun or a problem:

… people who are not transsexual and who have only ever experienced their subconscious and physical sexes as being aligned

The competition is meant to look for both excellence of style and excellence of content. Quite a job for the judges.
