Phil Harrington on Coast to Coast Sun 07.13 10PM

Yes, once in awhile they do get someone who is _not _ a wacko on Coast
to Coast. He is also talking about the growing problem of light
pollution as well. A very nice program tonight.

As do I.

Yes it is nice that they get someone who is not some reject from a
paranoia ward or conspiracy school. Then again I do enjoy those
whackos as the program becomes a good comedy show.

I heard Phil Harrington by sheer accident. I like to listen to coast
to coast for light end of the day comedy (especially when Hoagland is
on). He was great on the "face" on Mars (I actually had not heard
that the image was taken when the sun was low on the Martian horizon).
I had to chuckle when the hostess (I forget her name) said something
to the effect of "really, you don't think its anything (yes, way to go
wonderlick).

On the topic of Coast to Coast, I know to expect VERY VERY VERY bad
astronomy (maybe a sequel to Plait's book?), but had to groan when
some kook of the week stated (defending Velikovsky -- of course) "the
earth's tectonic plates rise three feet during a full moon." [cut to
ABBA drop and commercial]. There it was. In such a concise statment
(ARE YOU LISTENING MIN(imum intelligence)?) this man managed to get so
much wrong. Our favorite fake-PhD takes at least three screen-fulls
of garbage (well, at least that is where I stop reading) to create
such a volume of nonsense. So there it is -- the gold standard of
nonsense in eleven little words. I chuckled myself to sleep...

Agreed. I listen to it while observing mostly for the "intertainment"
value.
