Keith,
Let's do it. I'll promote it too. He has pissed me off something fierce. Talk about a double standard!
I'll put up something every day too. He's smart enough. He'll figure it out.

Kevin,
Nye loves to debate "anti-science" creationists and climate deniers. Why not challenge him to a debate? At first he won't bother responding, but
every day I'll post up a reminder--like a debate watch update--on my blog, something along like. Day 4 and still no word from the science guy if
he'll debate Kevin Folta on GMOs..."
Ordinarily, I wouldn't do a gimmick like this but this how he keeps his name in the media, by debating guys like Hamm. Why not turn this around
on Nye? At the very best, he is forced to engage in a science debate, at the worst, we continue to throw sunlight on his bullshit?
Let me know if you have any interest in this and we'll ta k? I have to teach now for three hours, but will be back online later tonight.
Keith
