2004 Koufax Award Finalists Part II
The posts that follow will complete our listings for the finalists in each category of the 2004 Koufax Awards. Please vote once in each category for one of the listed finalists.
The listings for the first group of categories begins here with the individual categories listed below the linked post.
I apologize once again for the delay in posting the remaining categories. We noted today that a few blogs with significant vote counts had the vast majority of their votes coming from only one IP address. Now, my wife and I use the same IP address and having two votes from that address would not sound an alarm. It is harder to ignore a couple of dozen votes from the same address. We then had to check for multiple votes from the same IP address in other categories.
We have made some judgments as to which votes to count and which to exclude. Those judgments made a difference in the list of finalists in a couple categories.
If anyone has any complaint about our choices, appeals may be instituted by sending a letter, regular mail, to our offices. Please address the letter to Wampum, 1000 Iceberg Lane, Antartica. We will give your appeal all due consideration once we receive it.
With that unpleasantness behind us, please scroll down to the categories and vote by leaving a comment or by sending an email. You might want to say something nice about your favorite as I often quote comments in announcing the winners.
Let's all try to have fun and not take winning or losing too seriously.

If anyone takes this too seriously can I get my buddie's shot gun and go after some freaking libertarians?

Okay, I'm sure this is not an original suggestion but why not simply leave it at, say, Ten Best _____ Blogs for 2004? There are too many great blogs and posts nominated, many of them as wonderful in their own right as the next one, and this whole Academy Awards "Best" lust gets kind of silly. It's like asking who was America's greatest comic, Benjamin Franklin, Mark Twain, Lenny Bruce, Johnny Carson, etc.? Why bother struggling to simply arrive at an answer when it's kind of impossible to do so if you appreciate them all?
Plus, it's an awful lot of voting.

Well, of course, this is a great way to find blogs I don't read, time being finite in some mathematical cosmologies, but apparently should, judging from comments of readers.
10 ain't enough!
Dozens is better.
Thanks Dwight!
[mathematicians don't have cosmologies. see "the sand reckoner"
"there are some, king gelon, who think that the number of the sand is infinite in multitude ... the numbers named ... exceed not only the number of the mass of sand equal ... in magnitude to the universe."
