Low Dosage Phenomena

From one of my feeds related to science comes this snippet:
Quote from: http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2011/03/will_radiation_hormesis_protec.php
Coulter and O'Reilly, arguing over science. America really has become an idiocracy.

On the one hand it is easy to laugh about fools, but I think these particular fools are dangerous because of their influence on other people.

Anyway, the actual article is longer and explains things better and more coherent (for me at last).

I didn't watch the youtube clip. I find O'reilly to be too offensive, it is unbearable for me to listen.
