I’m not condemning him for appearing on a show of a guy who believes in Jesus. Have you watched Glenn Beck’s show? It’s like Militia Group End Times Hour. The guy is a fear-monger, and it amazes me someone that is usually fairly rational is lending his name to a show that is full of irrational fear-mongering nonsense.

Beelzebud, you are condemning Penn Jillette for something that someone he knows believes? Jesus, if I was to be implicated in everything my friend’s believed, then I would need to be locked up. I am assuming you don’t agree with everything all of your friends (or acquaintances) believe, too.

(Not sure why libertarianism got mentioned either, but it seems being skeptical of supernatural and non-science claims might fit with someone who is skeptical of government as well.)

Adam’s recently posted TED Talk was pretty good, too:

Next time you talk to your buddy Penn Jillette you should ask him why he lends his name to a lunatic like Glenn Beck. If you’ve seen the Glenn Beck show on Fox News lately, you’d see why I question what a self-proclaimed skeptic would be doing on a show like that, pushing conspiracy theories about the end of the world, the NAFTA superhighway conspiracy theory, and the conspiracy theory they were discussing; how the government is labeling 3rd party members as terrorists.

For a skeptic Jillette certainly seems pretty far out in woo woo land lately.

Maybe the libertarianism finally rotted his brain.

It’s funny, when I saw the subject, I thought you were referring to this podcast:

I was wondering what in the world you were going to be doing on that.

Just had to bring up Battlestar didn’t you. Thats salt into the wound. I will not be able to watch Battlestar for another 9 hours thanks to my job. Hopes there is enough room on the hard drive.

In my continuing job hunt, my daughter keeps telling me that I am nothing to her if I don’t manage to get a job on Mythbusters… It’s hard to be a dad sometimes!
