Coast to Coast AM with George Noory, Art Bell, etc -- Entertaining piffle or horrid junk-/pseudoscience?

I do enjoy it when they get a non-rightwing political paranoid guy on rather than some jerk advocating the bombing of Iran.

Oh yeah, and George says he's going to be on the Larry King show on Friday the 13th, for the 60th anniv. of Roswell.

Cool, I've never seen him on TV. Or Art, for that matter.

Anybody watch Larry King tonight?

Bah, I'll catch the replay at midnight.

I wonder if there's some hardcore UFO believer that also believes the moon landing was fake, and he's got severe cognitive dissonance at Aldrin's testimony.

I just recorded it and fast forwarded to the part where George comes on. I'm not sure the whole episode is worth watching unless someone can convince me otherwise. George seems to have dyed his hair and mustache since the last pic I saw of him, possibly just for TV?

haha, Abbott 8080. "This goddam astronaut is discrediting our cause!"

Ah FUCK me. The "Best of Art" show they're running tonight is from Feb 2004, and of all the shows, they hafta pick an Open Lines show where the opening subject is GAY MARRIAGE.

Christ, we all lived thru this shit once, why the fuck would we want to hear it again.

Goddammit, George, stop going on about how the Chinese are trying to poison us all with using cheap-ass lead paint on toys, and then complaining that "Government can't protect us!!11!"

It's the crushing ignorance that really bothers me about this show, sometime, and that they go on and on about "CONNECT THE DOTS, YO!" about stupid lazy conspiracies, but any sort of complex or systemic thought about public policy is so thick-headed. ASSHOLE, YOU VOTE FOR PEOPLE WHO DELIBERATELY DESTROY PUBLIC SERVICES, SO IT'S FUNNY WHAT HAPPENS WHEN PUBLIC SERVICES SUCH AS CONSUMER PROTECTIONS ARE DESTROYED. Golly gosh gee Christ, who woulda thought that deliberately destructive politicos would be deliberately destructive?!

You should call in sometime.

George Nlolrey:

"I promise, unless one of them gets abducted by a UFO, Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton will never get serious attention in our news wrap up. No way."

Art's doing the show tomorrow night.

Also, way to waste an Open Lines hour by having folks call in to sound off about high school students and the Pledge of Allegiance.

"Gordon Freeman" calls into the show, complaining about this spooky pale guy in a blue suit who keeps following him around. George eats it up. ~5mins.

this new Ian guy blows.

when i tuned in tonite, he was chatting with a caller about whether its uncouth to go up to fat people and encourage them to be healthier or not.

love this show

Thread desperately lacking in cool pix of Art:

Last night, Ian Punnet (sp?), who normally strikes me as a smarmy non-gentleman, had a soil scientist/geologist on his show. Ian was in humble awe at this man! It was fantastic! I hope next week he talks to a range hydrologist or something.

This is kinda neat; the first hour tonight had on Billy West, and the rest of the show has Bart Ehrman(agnostic prof at UNC who wrote 'Misquoting Jesus'), which means that once they open the phone lines, all hell is gonna break loose.
