		<description>Happy now Graeme? No one judged their own work and each one was assigned a different batch. Then I think some 3rd fellow had veto power (not Helen). And that's that.</description>

		<description>Well there we have it.

Skeptics choices were none of the idiotic ones that made this competition such a bad joke.

The whole blame of it all goes onto Nick and Ken.

Exactly how I thought.

		<description>" Well, it was really to do with medicalising of sexuality, which was something the drug companies and others were promoting, obviously for their own benefit."

Why is it so wrong to find a scientific solution to a problem. Viagra is essentially the male solution. I think feminzing this issue is silly.

Let people decide what is best for them.

It's strange because on the one hand you seem to be reliant on one branch of human study to tell you that female problems are relationship issues, while on the other you totally discount the help of science . Is this another example of anti-science from  the left?</description>

		<description>No, none of those were mine either. I listed most of mine &lt;a href="http://larvatusprodeo.net/2007/01/16/best-blog-posts-update-ii/#comment-313587" rel="nofollow"&gt;over at LP&lt;/a&gt;.</description>

		<description>Re 273.

I had faith in you skeptic.

Good stuff.

So we cannot blame you for the farcical decision to include a malaria-holocaust-denying propagandist with a useless piece of writing to the finals.

Ok.

See Beck?

That one not skeptics fault.

Now can I press you on the Gummo-Trotsky piece or the Merkin number?

 The latter which was well written but pretty damn silly.

I'd ask you about Marks one.

But I figure I might get the wrong answer.</description>

		<description>Well, it was really to do with medicalising of sexuality, which was something the drug companies and others were promoting, obviously for their own benefit.

There was a guy who created a machine that was meant to induce orgasms (it was also based on other things, but I can't remember) in woman. It looked horribly painful. Judging by the women's comments it was clear that the doldrums of relationships, the realities of life etc were just wearing of them. Women, being annoyingly complicated creatures, are less likely to orgasm if they're not feeling happy in general.

It was fun to write that because people thought it was an unimportant topic (a woman's topic, if you will).</description>

		<description>"Oh and Beck, stop being such a tiresome buffoon. How does Helen putting her hand up to be involved in this mean that Catallaxy gets absorbed into LP. Mark wasnâ€™t even involved.

Youâ€™re such a persnicketty sadsack, fella. Go away and engage in some copulation."

Whats all this [HIGH PHILOSOPHICAL ENQUIRY] about Soon?

If Nick and Ken vote a holocaust-denier/enabler who [IS AN UTTER GENIUS] and cannot write for shit to be a finalist....

And people over at Prodeo are actually defending this farce how the f*ck do you NOT expect people who don't like the idea of black kids dying by the bushel every day to be a bit upset about it.

Lambert just called Beck a troll.

Any f*cking leftist who even uses that bullshit term ought to be kicked in the nuts for the next half a f*cking hour.

[SOONED BY ADMIN, BUT INVENTIVE USE OF THE FLOATING NOUN, VERB AND ADJECTIVE F*CK LEFT INTACT]</description>

		<description>Hey Lambert, your glasses were on top of your head? Doesn't your anal sphincter push them out of place?</description>

		<description>No, Tim's wasn't one of the nominations that came to me. In fact, I haven't even read it. And, to be fair, I have just about zero interest in the whole climate change thingy (sorry Tim, JohnH and Graeme). No offence, it just doesn't float my boat.</description>
