Okay, no more Messrs. Nice Guy. We tried the carrot at the nominations stage…the free donuts and iPod. And what did we get? Whining from Lulu, crumbs in the server, and a whopping big bill for bandwidth.

So now it’s Stick Time.

You have just a few hours left to vote for Stageleft at the Canadian Blog Awards. And if you don’t - and believe us, WE’LL KNOW - we pull back the blanket. Our lawyers tell us we’re not allowed to tell you who’s underneath, or just what exactly two of our favourite conservative bloggers are doing under there, or exactly what species and devices are involved, or exactly how many laws of God and man are being obscenely violated. But believe us, we’ve seen it - and it’s ain’t pretty.

So go vote NOW - Best Group Blog HERE, and Best Progressive Blog HERE. Voting closes TONIGHT, January 30th, 2008 at 11:59 PM PST.

Do it. Or the blanket comes down. We’re totally serious.
