ExecutedToday.com Unsolicited nomination of Executed Today for the Cliopatria history blogging awards.

----

I would like to nominate "The Headsman", proprietor of the Blog Executed Today. Here is the about page:



http://www.executedtoday.com/about/#contact



This blog is self described as: "a blog of history, sociology,
biography, criminology,... law, and kismet — an unrepresentative but
arresting view of the human condition across time and circumstance from
the parlous vantage of the scaffold."



It is also engagingly written, and maintains a high standard on a daily
basis. I believe this blog deserves more notice from the history
blogging community, not the least of which for its excellent writing.

ExecutedToday.com Random weirdos on the Internet -- by which I mean, people persuaded to stuff the ballot box for me -- considered me the 8th-freakiest blogger of 2008.

I'm off to an early lead in aught-nine! Maybe I can become BCS-eligible this year.
