  Vote for Your Favorite Brainiac
What do Pope Benedict XVI, Camille Paglia, and Lawrence Summers have in common? No, it's not their hair. They're all on a list of Foreign Policy magazine's top 100 "public intellectuals," and you can vote for your top five.

The list is a little bizarre; you can see the biases of Foreign Policy's editors pretty clearly. A quick scan, for example, shows about a dozen Harvard people (Henry Louis Gates, Niall Ferguson, E.O. Wilson, etc.)...and, by my count, a whopping six women.

Is that really an accurate reflection of women's intellectual contributions to our public debate? Or is Foreign Policy just sexist? You make the call....
