New York’s Official State Blogger Is…

New York’s Official State Blogger Is…Well, unfortunately there isn’t one, but there should be one don’t you think? After all, Eliot Spitzer recently announced that the state’s official author and poet for the next two years shall be Mary Gordon and Jean Valentine, respectively. These honorary distinctions are made by the New York State Writer’s Institute, in the hope that these two writers will promote fiction and poetry across the state through public talks and readings.

I didn’t know people still read print on paper anymore…I mean it’s 2008, isn’t that stuff out-of-date? Just kidding, but really we should create an official state blogger designation. I’ll go ahead and kick off the nomination by throwing my hat in the ring and anyone else who wants to nominate others, just comment below. Let’s say nominations close at the end of the week then we’ll all vote. Sound good? Good. I’ll start by nominating myself.

    I’d nominate GofG, for sure.

  2. FreD - March 4th, 2008

    Now, would this also be a competition beween the editors and contributers of goag? since you are all bloggers on one big blog? Or would it be the official state ‘blog’ rather than official stater blogger. Man this is getting complicated….
