Looks like someone decided to create a contest for the worlds best blogs @ the "International Blog Cup." It looks like a public voting system that starts with 32 blogs that have been nominated for the competition. It goes through 5 rounds of voting to find the best international blog. You can see a visual of it on the left, click pic.

Many of the blogs I'm not very familiar with. But maybe some of them are your favorites. Some blogs I know in the running... boing boing, problogger, life hacker, perezhilton, seth godin, and the consumerist. The voting is down to the quarterfinals with 8 blogs. Voting for this stage will be open from 10/10 to 10/15. Go vote!
