Kurt Vonnegut was the guest, and boy was he a good one. Unfortunately, they didn't put that part of the show on their web site, but here are a few choice quotes:
"I think we are terrible animals. I think that our planet's immune system is trying to get rid of us; it should."
"I'd like to say something good about him [the President]: he is not the dumbest man at the top of our government. The dumbest man at the top of our government is the Secretary of Defense."
"I have wanted to give Iraq a lesson in democracy, 'cause we're experienced with it. In democracy, after 100 years, you have to let your slaves vote. And after 150 years, you have let your women vote. At the beginning of democracy, quite a bit of genocide and ethnic cleansing is quite okay, and that's what's going on now."
