Unless you are new to the JREF, you know who Phil Plait is. Blogger, skeptic celebrity, and past-president of the JREF, he left the JREF last year to pursue a secret television project, even as he remains connected to our efforts, having recently spoken at TAM8 and serving on our advisory committee. Everyone at the JREF is very excited to announce that his new TV show is appearing soon on the Discovery Channel. Called Bad Universe, his new program will promote skepticism about pseudoscience and offer scientific explanations of the mysteries of the universe, in addition to giving Phil's popular take on topics in astronomy. The trailer looks amazing! From all of us at the James Randi Educational Foundation -- Congratulations, Phil -- it is high time that your work gains an even wider audience.
"This video has been removed by the user" -- did Phil go public too soon?

So, Alencon, are you against shooting deer with a bow and arrow from a treestand? Helicopters are just one of the benefits of having opposable thumbs. By the way, the Veterans Administration invented Death Panels.

Sorry guys... written by Alencon,

@MarkEMarkEMark Sorry, but where I come from a man sticks by his word. I promised to support the boycott for reasons which appeal to me as valid and I don't break my word even if it means I miss out on something I might enjoy.
@Caller X The VA invented Death Panels? Citation please. I might also point out that using a bow from a tree stand against deer and using rifles from a helicopter against wolves are a little different. If the best thing you can think of doing with your opposable thumbs is flying a chopper to slaughter helpless animals, I could point you to a few other things, such as art and music, you might want to consider instead.

After looking for the video on the Discovery Channel, not finding it, and seeing it was removed from YouTube by the user, one can assume (I believe) that Discovery wasn't ready for the roll out. But I too, was hoping for official word.

Maybe one of the Sheep People had it removed.

Perhaps you weren't following the Healthcare Reform debate. You'll have to do your own research. I'm not here to catch you up.
I might also point out that using a bow from a tree stand against deer and using rifles from a helicopter against wolves are a little different. If the best thing you can think of doing with your opposable thumbs is flying a chopper to slaughter helpless animals, I could point you to a few other things, such as art and music, you might want to consider instead.
Ah, so it's ok to kill deer, but wolves are helpless animals? You am smart!
