This is an observation, which, although unquestionably fair and balanced, has likely been made elsewhere, but here goes. Last I checked, scholarships were awarded on academic merit, not randomly to those who put their name in a hat. Therefore, the BloggerCon "scholarships" are not scholarships at all, but rather is, to engage in subject-verb disagreement, a random prize draw.
Pity that BloggerCon has turned into such a fiasco. It would have been interesting to see Josh Marshall speak.
