Vegetarian Star

Jane Goodall made an appearance on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart where she discussed chimpanzees, animal rights and pardoned Jon for the occasional cheeseburger.

“You seem to have a very reasonable approach to the animal world and saving the endangered species,” Jon said. “I mentioned to you earlier that I enjoy the occasional cheeseburger and you were okay with that.”

“I’m okay with that,” Jane said.

“Thank you,” Jon joked and elicited loads of laughter from the audience.

Watch the clip to hear Jane discuss how chimps have the same range of emotions as humans do, her thoughts on extremists and how she’s been criticized by vegetarians, even though she is one.

Conservative political talk show host Sean Hannity would like to help some farmers during a drought by raising water levels.

But doing so might wipe out an entire species of fish and Federation of Fisherman has warned that killing these fish will also lead to the salmon population demise.

Jon Stewart took a few moments to mock Hannity for his views about the food chain and regulations that created the reservoirs for the farmers to begin with.

“Hannity lent his almost comically oversized head to the very real drought problem that these farmers are facing,” Stewart says opening the segment.

Last night on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Jon called Manhattan’s West side the “sad-eyed carriage horse district.”

Sad it is, as a recent crash involving a horse-drawn carriage and a taxi resulted in the carriage driver being thrown in the street and the horse making a run for it.

Is Jon trying to drop some hints on how he feels about the industry?

Watch Jon’s “Our Dead Planet” segment, a humorous take on environmentalism that indicates the Earth is trying to kill us.

Sarah Palin’s resignation as governor of Alaska has made some environmentalists and animal rights activists happy, due to her stance on issues such as aerial wolf hunting.

As usual, comedians have chosen to make fun of the situation.

Here’s a clip from a recent The Daily Show with John Stewart making fun of Palin’s resignation speech.

Jon satirizes the following paragraph in Palin’s “good-bye” speech:

“You’re going to see anti-hunting, anti-second amendment circuses from Hollywood and here’s how they do it,” Palin said. “They use these delicate, tiny, very talented celebrity starlets, they use Alaska as a fundraising tool for their anti-second amendment causes. Stand strong, and remind them patriots will protect our guaranteed, individual right to bear arms, and by the way, Hollywood needs to know, we eat, therefore we hunt.”

Jon mocks Palin using every argument from armed hamsters in the new G Force movie to eating wolf burgers.
