I just went to the site to vote and it is completely non-functional.

“And how the Law category doesn’t include Bob Loblaw’s Law Blog I’ll never know.”

I hope most people get this reference. Greatest. Show. Ever. (Except maybe the peak of The Simpsons)

The current leader so far this year is another anti-GW blog. This is sickening.

One of the more subtle distinctions in the grammar wars is the difference between “loath” and “loathe.” It’s hard to get it right.

What’s up with “Watt’s Up With That”? I’m struggling to get it? For example a recent post called “Looking more like La Nina every day” he says “About a month ago I posted: La Nina is back…and was criticized by a few folks”. I wonder who criticised because I heard many weather people in Oz announcing late last year that the expectation for 2009 was another La Nina event.

I think the crashing aspect is deliberate. How much are they getting for the ads on each of those voting pages?

I’m splitting my votes between PZ & BA — until I must choose sides on the last day, when there will no doubt be another poll swarm. The site appears to be set up just like last year; and it seems like they would’ve learned their lesson after getting crashed last time.
