	<description>I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.</description>

		<description>I always knew you were suspect, Phil, and now this proves it.
C&#039;mon, &#039;fess up: the moon landings were a hoax, weren&#039;t they? And what REALLY happened at Roswell? What&#039;s the gummint hiding in the Nevada desert? And, most importantly, where did I mislay my meds...</description>

		<description>The republicans don&#039;t have a monopoly on stretching the truth (and outright lies) science or otherwise.  I would wonder if a scientific political party would work, but then I recall the &quot;Natural Law Party&quot; they sound quite logical until you look at some of their practices, one of which was &quot;Flying&quot; by getting into the half lotus position and repelling off of a rubber mat.</description>

		<description>Dear Phil,

Dick and I are real proud of the work you have done for the government.  Thanks for helping cover up the cover ups.  Could you lay off the evilution and &quot;global warming&quot; stuff, though.  If you need help redacting any of that from your otherwise swell site, just let Mr. Smith at the NSA know.  He&#039;d be glad to help. He can be reached by speaking into the stapler on your desk.

Sincerely,

Gee Dubbaya</description>

		<description>Dang. Youse an eggspurt.

When ANY political group references you, it&#039;s a good bet they have an agenda. Next thing you know, the caucus will be inviting you to speak at their fund raisers. Demand a really good hotel view of the Washington monument. It will continually remind you what really counts in the USA,,, a really big,,,monument,,,

(gotta watch the language now. The REAL world is watching,,,)

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Irishman Says:

Itâ€™s the Democratic Caucus. See, proof that youâ€™re partisan!!!  ;-)&lt;/blockquote&gt;

...the same kind of &quot;proof&quot; that he&#039;s a NASA shill because he&#039;s wearing a NASA hat in his picture. ;-)

I see links to BA all over the place, especially science sites for kids. Most recent sighting was in an article on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.physicsweb.org/articles/world/19/7/3/1&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Hollywood physics&lt;/a&gt; (bad physics in movies). I was thinking that the article seemed &lt;i&gt;Phil-ish&lt;/i&gt;; the author links to Bad Astronomy at the bottom of the page.</description>
