	<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>&lt;b&gt;@ KaiYves:&lt;/b&gt; That would explain why Phil looks so proud of himself. He just finished rearranging the deck chairs.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Quiet Desperation, I fully agree. There are lots of popular misconceptions that could be debunked (nuclear power was a perfect example) that avoid both silly territory (Bigfoot) and political hot-button topics (global warming/creationism/etc).&lt;/i&gt;

I have another concern. I have had too many occasions when I mention I&#039;m a skeptic, people say something like &quot;Oh, you debunk ghosts and UFOs and other silly stuff.&quot;

That&#039;s the image that gets promulgated when, say, James Randi goes to give a talk somewhere, and he talks about frakking spoon bending. Gawds, Randi, the 1970s called and wants their issue back.

&lt;i&gt;Which isn’t to say I wouldn’t still watch it if you stuck to Bigfoot&lt;/i&gt;

Well, I didn&#039;t say I wasn&#039;t going to watch it. ;-) All I said was I *hope* they go after bigger ticket items- a Sylvia Browne episode would be killer.</description>

		<description>BA, we need to work on your look a bit.  Leather overcoat, sunglasses, and try to look as shifty as possible.  Just make sure you don&#039;t look like that nutbag from the history channel UFO show.  Ballcap, sunglasses, collar turned up... too much effort into looking the part of the conspirator.</description>
