Simplifying the complex and complexifying the rest: Ravings on physics, politics, education, motoring, and the Harvard comma.
The first main segment of The ColberT ReporT tonight (Thursday, 17 January) was a tour de force of Colbert at his best.
He did a book interview with Lou Dobbs of CNN (famously anti immigration) entirely in Spanish while staying in character as a sleazy spanish-language talk show host who wants to win the war on the middle class.
He must have spent hours working on that gum-chewing look, and hours more getting the grease out of his hair afterwards.

Dr. Pion is a pseudonym for a physicist whose research once included study of the pi meson. His expertise also includes the history of nuclear weapons and proliferation, but his main interest today is teaching "physics for scientists and engineers". He uses the pseudonym CCPhysicist when commenting in certain blogs because he teaches at a community college.
There is no connection at all between this blog and the real people (a veterinarian and a physician) known as Dr. Pion who show up in a Google search on this name.
