…and this is a 
Leading in to the Carlin-Coulter cage match on Leno tonight, we've also got Phil Plait on the SciFi Channel. It should be a cheerful evening, since he's discussing the end of the world.
I'm watching it now, and I will say that Phil is adorable…but the show is awfully cheesy, sprinkled with clips from science fiction movies and treating nuclear terrorism with the same seriousness as the possibility that the robots might revolt and enslave us, or aliens might land and start disintegrating people. And, as an indicator of their concern for detail, they keep spelling Paul Ehrlich's name as "Paul Ehlrich."

Is there anywhere I can see the interview between Coulter and Carlin. I am living in Australia, so a link on the net would be cool. :)

And Game 5 of the Stanley Cup finals; in this series, Edmonton has been slow and sloppy and Carolina has been precise and fast. It's going to be Carolina tonight or Game 6.

If you want video of Carlin vs. Coulter, I would suggest checking Crooks and Liars tomorrow. They would be a good bet to put it out.

Well, it is the Sci-Fi Channel, after all. You can't really take any of its "documentaries" seriously.

Well, I did warn you in advance.
