Mooney gets written up in the Las Vegas Sun. Here's what I get in the same article:
Friday's panel included a Minnesota biology professor…
Yeah, that's it.
Someday, I will be famous enough to warrant actually mentioning my name! They'll misspell it, but still…

The first panel I was on was travel advice for the Japanese Worldcon:
Visiting Japan,
If we attend the Worldcon in Yokohama this August, what knowledge should we bring along? What ten phrases are essential? What societal differences should we be prepared to accommodate? What are Japanese SF fans…
The plot careered around like a drunken sailor, and made very little sense. The macguffin was ridiculous. Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley were bland mannequins who didn't do much. Many of the situations were absurd—the sword fight on the water wheel, the cannibals and the pirates dashing back and…
I'm pleased to see that the Las Vegas Sun covered the remarks made by myself and General Clark at the Yearly Kos science panel last Friday. I made sure to give my comments a local hook, and the paper picked up on that. Get ready for a long excerpt:

Who cares about Mooney? You've got the General on your side. ;)
Well, I guess that's one benefit of using your initials instead of your full name; even our current media are unlikely to misspell "PZ".
You know it's just because you're from the Flyover, right? All they had to see was Minnesota, and that was the end of it. No one important has ever come from Minnesota.

They wouldn't misspell you name Meyers.
I think you will all be shocked to learn that P.Z. is very introverted. He gave a good speech, but Mooney was really awesome.
