It’s close of the business day here in Seattle and, as promised, that means nominations for Censor of the Year 2015 are no longer being accepted.

Well, it was never a vote exactly, but rather an opportunity to bring candidates to our attention who might otherwise have escaped us. Our way of honoring Darwin Day on February 12, Charles Darwin’s birthday, COTY, as we call it, recognizes and condemns outstanding achievement by a materialist in throttling open discussion of scientific ideas and curtailing accurate representations of science in an educational or media setting.

Who will win? Check back next week!
