Comments on: Colbert mocks me http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2007/09/17/colbert-mocks-me/ 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.

He had Lovell on his show and during the interview he now admits that we did in fact land on the moon and he believes it. Just by stepping up to the plate you have made him back down. Keep up the good work! Well you may already know, but Colbert has shown his yellow streak.

That said, I think you'd be especially entertaining, so.. yeah. Finish the book, i guess. I also like the idea of inviting him to be in the Skepdude calendar; that would make your request stand out, at least!

I watched a couple episodes because of the mention of him here and, well, it got sort of old by the end of the first. At least with Space Ghost Coast To Coast they could go all over the map. And I'm a strident non-ideologue and long time Howard Stern veteran. I don't think I can even get offended anymore. I'll be blunt: O'Reilly's own show is actually funnier.

Now you can mock your readers for mocking you for mocking Colbert for mocking conservative Republicans. Look at the bright side.
