"Rand-Aid"

Those smug blowhards Penn and Teller appeared on Name That Lyric; donating their winnings to charity. Their charity of choice was the JREF. As Greg writes on The Daily Grail, with all the real crap going on in the world (you know, poverty, disease, things like that) these two bombastic twits decide to give their money to the JREF. Read about it here.

"Debunklicans"

Lesley, who runs The Debris Field, Beyond the Dial, etc. and is a Blog Queen, has a brand new blog: Debunklicans. I love it!

What People Are Saying About SkeptiWatch (formerly Snarly Skepticism!)

I want to give you accolades for your snarly skepticism website. I LOVE it. I Wish I found it earlier. I have been somewhat depressed about the fact that so many people on our side want to "play nice" and have "polite conversation" with pseudo-skeptics. I mean, these people want to destroy us. It seems like every day a new libelous statement hits the internet about someone on our side, and most people on our side would rather "reach out" to these evil people, or at best ignore the pseudo-skeptics. You don't reach out to such people and you don't ignore them and hope that they go away - you go to battle with them. We're in a battle for our existence, here, and it is encouraging to see somebody else, unlike most on our side, who has more of a "FUCK YOU!" type of attitude when dealing with the pseudo-skeptics. ~ Mark Stublarec

Keep up the blogging. As much as I rarely agree with what you write it provides interesting thought. ~ SCFR
