Great comments from Phil Platt: The Bad Astronomer

[LongTomH]

Phil is rejoicing at the departure of the most anti-science administration in US history on his Bad Astronomy blog:

A new day: "The sun rises on America once again."



"And like any day when it starts, it’s time to roll up our sleeves and get to work."

President-elect Obama. Phil had one word: "WOW"

Read the comments for both threads. There are some great remarks from Phil's fans all over the world. My favorite: "After 8 years of Dark Ages, I’m ready for the renaissance!"

There was the usual RW troll - hilariously named "Truthseeker." The other posters ripped him a new one after he declared that "Obama won because of his race!"

Oh yeah, there are some people unhappy that McCain lost; but, they're aliens! Alien Nation



Phil remarks: "I am almost positive this picture is fake."
