"The book started good, it had a nice shiney cover that I could see myself in ..." Because of Colbert's schtick, though, it is hard to tell what he actually believes. But it often makes for an interesting (albeit short) discussion. I also loved his quote about democracy and science. Something along the lines that our president believes democracy makes for the best science. Colbert slays me. “The book started good, it had a nice shiney cover that I could see myself in …”

Since our readerships overlap and I wanted to post something people hadn't seen, I posted a couple of different Dawkins interviews on CatE today. They aren't as funny as Colbert and both interviewers miss what Colbert picked up on - the advantage of the shiny cover that the reader can see his/her face in! :-) On the other hand they are a little longer and Dawkins has more opportunity in them to go into his views. So you might enjoy them. I think he comes across much better in these (and with Colbert) than he does in, say the 2 part TV series he did earlier this year. I wonder if he has been advised that coming across as hostile is not such a good thing ;-). On the other hand, he is as direct as ever!

Didn't seem to change Dawkins' opinion or vice versa, but it was entertaining! That is great, Stephen Colbert is always amusing to watch.
