ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteA well earned honor Scott. As good a blog as you put out, I know this isn't the first honor you have received, and I know there will be many, many more to come.
ReplyDeleteYou certainly deserve the recognition. I'm just not all that sure the source is worth bragging about. I mean, how many criminal justice bloggers can there be in Austin?
ReplyDeleteWe have an alternative publication here in my town that has an identical feature annually. It's mostly a way to give free ad space to the people who have been supporting them all year. I take it with a grain of salt.
Nevertheless, congratulations!
