Catch Me Talking With RFK Jr.

By cmooney on July 21, 2007.

I just appeared on the Air America show Ring of Fire to discuss Storm World, and it turns out there's a televised version on GoLeft TV where you can at least see RFK Jr. talking, although not me:

In other updates, my fellow science bloggers have been really great to Storm World and have published a number of thoughtful reviews. Kevin Beck and Afarensis had already given their take, and this week Josh Rosenau, Janet Stemwedel, and PZ weighed in. I have to say a bit more about PZ's take: He elected to review the book as it it was a sci-fi novel, and the result is simply hilarious. Favorite sentence:

I give it two thumbs up, with one hand curling clockwise and the other anti-clockwise.

Thanks PZ, and thanks, fellow SciBlings! And now I'm off to prepare my special Harry Potter-related remarks that will come at the beginning of my talk at Politics and Prose tonight.....

The Other Storm World
When PZ reviewed my latest book as if it was a sci-fi novel, I thought the result was hilarious. I certainly didn't think anyone would take him literally. But now across my cluttered desk comes this: Australia's Great Western Entertainment (GWE) has expanded backing for its kids and family sci-fi…
The Trashing of a Classic
I know I'm about a year late on this, but it was only recently that I finally watched the notorious Sci-Fi Channel version of Ursula K. LeGuin's Earthsea cycle. LeGuin has complained at length about how the adaptation destroyed her novels. I heartily agree. The Sci-Fi version simply invents, out of…

My Saturday night exercises in TV viewing resemble Mystery Science Theater 3000 as my spawn and I hoot at bad sci-fi offerings. On occasion, I seek these out in the interest of seeing how poorly scientists and science are portrayed in the pop cultural milieu. Last night's trawling of the cable…

Why is that guy talking like that? Is he nervous?

Given his antivaccination lies, misinformation, and conspiracy-mongering about thimerosal in vaccines, I have zero respect for RFK, Jr.

Zero.

If I ever got the chance to talk to him, I'd tell him how much contempt I have for his stance on thimerosal. The guy's a wingnut.

Not to mention his insanely hypocritical stance on the Cape Wind offshore wind power project. I don't have any respect for him either.
