Jon Bounces Back
2006.03.14 (Tue) 13:25
After a fairly vanilla turn at the Oscars, Jon Stewart is back in form! On last night's Daily Show:
Jon: NASA is mounting an ambitious plan to build a lunar space station that could allow astronauts to live on the moon's surface for months at a time. Speaking from the set of the original faked moon landing, astronaut Dan [sic] Pettit explained the project's importance.
Don Pettit: [interview footage] Preserved in the lunar regolith is the history of the early development of our planet, planet Earth; and we can go to the moon and figure out a lot of what happened in the early history of planet Earth.
Jon: Seems like an awfully long way to go just to avoid reading the Bible.
Silly scientists; the big cosmological questions of history are for God to answer!
Of course, it was the Sharon Stone segment that really squirted the milk out of our noses. Said Stone, regarding her diplomatic visit to Israel:
"I was asked to come here, and I came in my faith."
Jon's response?
"I'm just gonna hope she doesn't have a lisp."
Be thankful we were laughing too hard to do the cartoon we had in mind for this one.
