Note added at 18:38 Pacific: The Shuttle launch was scrubbed tonight due to weather. They will try again tomorrow (though the weather doesn’t look any better for then). Also, to the subject of the post below, I’m currently slightly ahead of PZ in the voting, but he has decided to go negative. I would never stoop to such things, obviously. I may have more on this development on Friday.
I’m so shameless.
Or vote for one of the other extremely good science blogs. Or better yet, just vote for me. PZ already has three times my readership, and he gets angrier at creationists than I do, so he’s got a huge advantage. However — and really, I just hate to bring this up — he also has a rather unhealthy fascination with invertebrates (one which I have carefully helped cultivate in order to crush him in just such a situation as this). Really, what would Rick Santorum say?
From what I understand, you can vote once per day. Voting ends December 15, so get in there and vote for someone!

Okay…
Maybe I’m using the wrong browser…a setting is off…the dog ate my IP address…
How do you vote?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
December 7th, 2006 at 7:02 pm
My vote is placed, my liege.
December 7th, 2006 at 7:16 pm
It’s on, man, it’s on.
December 7th, 2006 at 7:39 pm
You’re in the lead!
December 7th, 2006 at 7:46 pm
But that spineless evilutionist PZ posted about it and is gaining. And he’s going negative, that cephalopoddist!
December 7th, 2006 at 8:04 pm
Charlie, I’m not sure what’s wrong. If you go to that link, the ballot appears. The ballot is in Flash, so make sure you don’t have that disabled.
December 7th, 2006 at 8:05 pm
I voted.
I also just noticed what you get if you transpose the first letters of Rick Santorum’s name. Quite appropriate.
December 7th, 2006 at 8:39 pm
Okay, okay already don’t pressure me, baby!
December 7th, 2006 at 8:48 pm
Wow, this one looks to be a nail-biter.
It’s a little unfair that Pharyngula has the advantage of being first in the list. I suspect skulduggery.
December 7th, 2006 at 8:55 pm
I voted, Phil. You seem to have a comfortable lead now.
BTW, at NASA’s website, it says that 8:47pm EST on Saturday is the next attempt.
I hope it goes up then.
A friend of mine in Mayport, FL really wants to see this one. He actually hoped it’d be pushed to a weekend launch.
December 7th, 2006 at 9:51 pm
Aha…dat done dood it…
December 8th, 2006 at 1:33 am
have now voted twice – work and home
Current totals BA – 278 PZ – 299
December 8th, 2006 at 1:52 am
Yeah but have any of your competition posed NUDE for a calendar? No?
Frickin’ LOSERS. The girls will vote for you. And I’m going to tell all of my blog regulars to do so on Day 9.
December 8th, 2006 at 2:13 am
gap is narrowing! (7)
ooohh…the anxiety!
December 8th, 2006 at 2:28 am
Actually – screw the ‘Day 9′ thing – I’m telling all of these devoted regulars to vote for you EVERY FRICKIN DAY until the 15th:). And they’ll thank me for the privledge.
You deserve it.
December 8th, 2006 at 2:57 am
I did vote, you deserve it.
But don’t let that go to your head, mkay?
December 8th, 2006 at 3:45 am
Hah! BA took the lead again.
December 8th, 2006 at 5:26 am
Fix! Fix! Fix!
Did you notice the order on the ballots? An obvious bias for Pharyngula!
The only fair method would be to list them alphabetically. It is entirely coincidental that alphabetically would place BA at the top of the list.
December 8th, 2006 at 6:53 am
No one insults the calendar. NO ONE!

December 8th, 2006 at 7:22 am
Hey, no fair! It’s not as if anyone has ever asked me to pose for the calendar.
I’m sure I’d be adorable in a bikini.
December 8th, 2006 at 8:03 am
My co-worker voted for BA…she likes the pictures I show her. I also voted at work and home for Respectful Insolence – he has the best answer to Deepak Chopra woo.
Pharyngula readers did get to see PZ’s nekkid chest, by the way. I don’t know if that’s why so many people are voting for him…
(BTW, eww…did “Little Green Footballs” get freeped?)
December 8th, 2006 at 8:22 am
At 507 to your favor (+ mine), you are in the lead. Is there a shill award, too???
December 8th, 2006 at 8:53 am
Myers shills are trolling for votes on talk.origins!

Hmm… lots of negative campaigning going on here. But the fact remains that Bad Astronomy was what originally hooked me into skepticism. So for that, you’ve got my vote, Phil.
December 8th, 2006 at 9:35 am
My vote’s not cheap. Offers currently being acdcepted.
December 8th, 2006 at 10:12 am
You got my vote.
I’ll send you the bill.
December 8th, 2006 at 10:15 am
One computer, one vote. Two computers,………….
December 8th, 2006 at 10:21 am
Voted early. Voting often.
December 8th, 2006 at 11:07 am
How do they keep track of how many times we’ve voted? I voted last night from work and again from home. Is that really right?
Ah well, I’m just a skeptic, mystic, DeadHead,,,HuH? ,,,and I still vote for the skeptics, Phil.

I’ve voted for you, right from The Netherlands. Does that count for two? Mmmm, you’re second now! Gr. Adrianus V
