The 59th Meeting of the Skeptics' Circle: Untitled skepticism

Well, it's that time again, time for another foray into battle against the rampant credulity that permeates the blogosphere. This time, your host is a veteran who has hosted two previous Meetings of the Skeptics' Circle and produced some of the most memorable Circles we've had. After two abortive attempts at a format, he's come up with a rather Zen-like method that, I'm sure, a Reiki master would love--were it not for the content, of course. So, join The Pooflinger for the 59th Meeting of the Skeptics' Circle.

Next up to host on May 10 is Infophila. Start firing up your keyboard to provide the Infophile with the raw material for another great Meeting.

And, of course, we're (well, actually, I'm) always looking for hosts. If you think you have what it takes to host the Circle, check out the schedule and guidelines for hosts and drop me a line!

The last time I talked about our job search, I got a lot of comments of the form "Why does the process take so damn long?" As the first of our short list candidates shows up today for a campus visit/ interview, I thought I'd go through a sketch of what we do, and why it takes so long. I'm going to…
