Comments on: Rebecca won! http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2007/09/27/rebecca-won/ 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.

Just postulating here. If anyone needs me, I"ll be at the bar.

And on Skeptics' Guide forum, someone said somethin about multiple accounts and scripts to increase the number of votes. The chance to make a radio show, not a guarantee is given so it better be better than a start like that. Abusing a system to win doesn't make it a win. The money should buy a lot of drinks though, which we all know is a big importance! Yeah… but overseas votes used on a USA-only competition?
