We at PLJ, of course, are huge The Daily Show fans (even Jon can recognize Jon Stewart at his desk, from the Between the Lions promos).
This week will be an especial treat for anyone rightfully appalled at the way US politicians are trying to discredit science and evolution, with a four-part series called Evolution, Schmevolution (the first segment was tonight, but it will continue through this Thursday). The commentary that correspondent Ed Helms makes about a fervent anti-evolutionist in Dayton, Tennessee (where the Scopes monkey trial was held in 1925) was nasty and priceless. And the stinger at the end of the show (“the Moment of Zen”)—an audio clip of a man railing against gays that sounded like ravings from a religious crank from 60 years ago, but was actually recorded comments from a governmental official made just last year—proved that The Daily Show is out for blood.
So your notion of dangerous dinosaurs may have to change, just a little. In China they discovered a fossil bed where many dinos were caught in an eruption and, I gather, buried in ash like the residents of Pompeii. This left a perfect impression of their outsides too.
