I just heard that famous skeptic Michael Shermer will be a guest on Politically Incorrect tonight. It will air tonight. Other guests include Whitley Strieber (to promote his new UFO book), skeptic and comedian Kevin Nealon (from SNL) and, of all folks, Marion Ross (Mrs. Cunningham from Happy Days).

The topic will certainly be UFOs, as well as global warming and cloning. Nealon is a noted vegan, so the cloning issue will be interesting.

The show might be a little late due to NFL Preseason Football.

The way I see it, christians are godless too...they just don't know it yet.

Bad Astronomer:

There goes my sleep. If Politically Incorrect is delayed, I will never be able to get up in time to go to work. Politically Incorrect usually starts about 12:00 or 12:05 A.M., E.S.T.

Darn. See what you have done. Ruined my sleep. Beast!!!

... and I just found out Geoff Marcy will be on Letterman tonight. Amazing. He's an astronomer working on finding planets. I talked with him a few months ago for some stuff I am doing at work (y'know, my day job). This figures. How many times do you get science like this on TV, and we get two at the same time.

Hmmm. I wish I had this problem more often.

It was interesting to find out on *Politically Incorrect* that Michael Shermer was once a Fundamentalist Christian (probably forced upon him by his family). Perhaps there is hope yet for the rest of the *true believers* coming over to the side of reason.

I will have to make up for the time I spent last night by getting to bed earlier than usual tonight.

Michael Shermer was just great, as always.
