http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2006/08/03/skeptics-circle/ 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.

Skepticism has become so intertwined with blanket-coverage atheism that you can't read one without having the other rudely shoved down your throat. I don't mind hearing a opposing view point, but I do object to the smug sense of superiority and blatant mockery their arguments are invariably accompanied by. And this freek-show-style presentation is no different. This exemplifies why I can’t subscribe to any of the skeptical periodicals, be they in print or on the net.

It was a real guilt by association job. :( I thought the shot at Alton Brown was a rather cheap one. All he said on the show was that Eng was his chiropractor.
