The Daily Show: February 15, 2007

"Dance Dance Resolution": Man. All that talk about disappointing Davey Crockett really broke my heart. And all that talk about Wicked made my inner theatre geek laugh... and my inner normal civilian cry a little bit for the state of our Congress. Did a cell phone really go off at the end of that guy's speech? If so... Wow.

"Mess O' Potamia": Senior Military Speculator John Oliver stopped by to sing a little "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes" and connect various terrorists to one source of evil, Kevin Bacon. I think I've figured out why Oliver has been showing up so many times in the past few weeks... He's living in the studio. There's no other explanation.
The night's guest was Meredith Vieira, the Today Show anchorwoman who's crazy enough to get up at 3:00 every morning. The Star Jones question was beautiful, as was Jon's crackly, sick voice when he shouted, "Lotion!" Vieira's dream was really, really strange. I'm going to take the Freudian method of dream analysis and just say that everything in that represented a penis.

Jon/Stephen: Stephen Colbert and a hardcore investi-vacation. Aww, Jon and Stephen kind of, sort of had similar ties. Moment of Zen: Representative Ric Keller likes talkin' about mowing lawns and shooting people.
