First up, what does the selection of Sarah Palin for the Republican presidential ticket mean for the cause of secular government in America? (Spoiler Alert: It won’t be good.)

Next, we offer a wrap-up of the extremely successful Skeptics Track at this year’s Dragon*Con.  If you were in attendance, send an email to dragoncon@dragoncon.org and let them know what a fantastic job Track Director Derek Colanduno did.

Plus: A special, super-secret guest panelist joins us for the first (and hopefully not the last) time!
