spamalot, the monty python musical. the drudge report was first to break the news that that is in fact what secretary of state condoleezza rice was doing at the apex of the death and destruction in new orleans. this was the original drudge report mention from that day back in 2005. "eyewitness, secretary of state condi rice laughs it up at spam alott while gulf coast lays in tatters. theatergoers on new york city's great white way were shocked to see the president's former national security adviser at the monty python farce last night." that was in the drudge report.

"contributing to the fiddling while rome burns impression given by her boss during the disaster, which may have claimed thousands of lives, secretary rice was booed by some audience members at spam paalot, the mon python musical, at shubert theater when the lights went up after performance." that "new york daily news" report was correct. people booed her for being here. you'd think that would be a wak

as one of the last times i saw him, we did a sketch together for the monty python live shows which iscolleagues knew very well which is that he was very funny. as well as being, clearly, one of the greatest physicists and being buried in the abbey alongside newton and darwin, he was a very passionate, very funny and very passionate about putting science in proper context as part of culture. that may involve doing monty python sketches or it may involve writing books, a brief history of time. that is the key thing for me. i remember his humour. he performed an ad lib with eric idle and this get was that i was going to argue with the words of the galaxy song, a monty python song, and stephen was going to run me over in his wheelchair. he famously displayed displays are like that. and i to him and he said, "i think you are being pedantic." it was a wonderful ad lib which got into the sketch. a brief history of time perhaps made him more famous than his physics. it is a hugely bottom book, 25 million copies, but lots of people put it on coffee tables and did not read it. what impact it th

and thank you all for that, you're the first audience that has left at monty python on that. everybody else looks at it and say why is that funny? i almost took it out, i thought, it wasn't monty python, it was major general robert ross, rear admiral george copper and 150 sailors in 1814, apparently by this time the war of 1812 was over. but they went into the white house, they ate the dinner that dolly madison had prepared for her guest, they apparently commented favorably on the madeira and they piled all of the furniture and drapes in the middle of the rooms in the stepped outside and threw in torches and burned the white house. that is a scary and great painting by tom freeman. the fire burned really really hot. then it rained. so what you had afterwards was a shell of cracked stone, it was in bad shape, a lot of the stone was unusable, the brick inside was unusable. but -- i will just jump forward to the british again, a different one. field marshal mr. monty, montgomery came to see my grandfather after the war, you can see they are getting along just fine in that pictur
