Paleofeces (UK: Palaeofaeces) are ancient human feces, often found as part of archaeological excavations or surveys. They are often referred to as coprolites by archaeologists. Intact feces of ancient people may be found in caves in arid climates and in certain other locations. They are studied to determine the diet and health of the people who produced them through the analysis of seeds, small bones, and parasite eggs found inside. They can also be chemically analyzed for more in-depth information on the individual who excreted them.
I guess that would refer to his show.

These creationists are a silly lot. While in elementary school teachers and curriculum use simplistic terms to describe the basics of science. Like the Earth is round (it's not a perfect sphere) if you throw a ball it will follow a ballistic trajectory (not really, air drag etc. play havoc with the path), etc. It is what a child can grasp at each stage, building up more and more detail and refinement as they grow older and learn more.
People who grabbed onto elementary school descriptions of scientific facts (evolution is no more a theory than gravity) and held onto them into adulthood are not geniuses - they are intellectually stunted.
Why are there still apes and monkeys? The same reason there are still many races of humanity, species of squirrels, species that lived during the Jurassic Period (sharks, crocs, squids, jellies and horseshoe crabs). Each is a different BRANCH of group of species and phylum, etc. To these dunderheads the science of evolution, genetics and DNA is proof there is no God or Creator.
That is pure paranoid hogwash. Science neither confirms nor denies a higher power - and it can be argued it may indicate there is one. Why do we not only see colors (not all animals do) but are biochemically wired to be attracted to art and color? Why does our hearing go beyond location and recognition and provide us the wonders of music and emotion?
We are genetically wired to care for our families and sacrifice ourselves for others - unlike many other species who are wired to consume the young and weak of their species.
Creationists want to avoid thinking and learning, and religious bigots are those afraid to believe there is some positive force helping us retain the right for individual choice, but benefit (survive and evolve) from making good choices.
What we don't know is infinite. What we think we know pales in comparison

Scientific and technological progress have reached a point where many feel left behind, either in terms of their ability to understand or control it, or their continuing relevance in the face of modern methods and processes. So it is a simple defensive mechanism to simply cry out that it is all false; a dangerous illusion created by the forces of evil, and an abomination before God.

Here is the GOP at work:
Rep. Issa Would Lead 'Climategate' Probe if House Goes to GOP
The House's top Republican watchdog is planning to launch an investigation into international climate data if he takes the helm of the chamber's oversight panel next year.
More News From ClimateWire
Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), the ranking member of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said a probe of the "Climategate" scandal will top his environmental agenda if the Republicans take over the House next year and he gets the chairmanship."I do have a backburner investigation that I'm going to want to have completed, and that is, we paid a lot of money to have international evaluation, most of it done in Britain, that turns out to have been less than truthful in some of the figures," he said. "We're going to want to not investigate to get our money back, but we're going to want to have a do-over of good numbers so that everyone can have confidence." [...]
A million and one things to investigate, and what is on the ranking Republican's top agenda? "Climategate."

It's the usual American reaction. They vote for Democrats and then when they get tired of the Democrats they vote for Republicans. They seem to think that the Republicans will wave their magic wand and make the economy robust. Only now they're going to be voting for the newly rebranded wingnut Republican candidates. After November we'll be looking at a congress unlike any other we've ever seen before. The GOP is regressing.

Speaking of science, one of the bigger news of the day:
Newly discovered planet may be first truly habitable exoplanet
It's around a red dwarf, and those kind of stars tend to be quite stormy, and since the planet is so close to the star it would get hit with nasty solar storms. Also, because the planet is so close it may be tidally locked to the star. So the likelihood of life being there is pretty small.

Art apparently collected over $1M from his show to save the circle. They were going to bulldoze it. Least he bragged that he collected over $1M from donations. He made some chinsy faux-gold necklaces that he was selling and tshirts and what-not. Anyway, we never saw a penny from him. If he collected the money, he's a crook. If he didn't, he's a liar.

Here you go.
RUSH: So here's Matthews, he thinks P.J. O'Rourke is going to join him in pummeling Christine O'Donnell, sets him up with a softball, a hanging softball, and P. J. says, "Yeah, I kind of agree with her. You look at the Democrats and say evolution? That's kinda going in the other direction." We know what Christine O'Donnell says. Hey, look, if there's evolution, how come there's still monkeys? How come the monkey doesn't evolve in front of our face? Why is it still a monkey? If we cape from the apes, why are there still apes? How come the gorillas that are still there got left out of the deal? How did some of us become advanced humans and King Kong is still out there as King Kong? I know what she's saying. It's a matter of choice. Obviously some gorillas did not want to become humans because they didn't want to get blamed for destroying their own habitat. And there's nothing wrong with staying a gorilla. I mean if you want to stay a gorilla that's absolutely fine. You want to be King Kong, I mean who knows, Naomi Watts, you might get to meet her someday. You probably got a better chance of meeting Naomi Watts as a gorilla than you do as a gas station attendant. I mean, if I was a gorilla that's the way I'd be looking at it.
Now, evolution, I know that evolution is Darwin, and I think there are two guys who have probably done more to screw up the human race on balance. It's probably a tough thing to signal out two guys out of all of the people that have been destructive to the human race, you gotta put Hitler up there and so forth, but I mean Hitler's efforts were finite. There are two guys whose work goes on and on and on that continue to just have everything all screwed up. One was Darwin, the other is Freud. You ever stop to think what would happen if Freud had never been born, or Freud had become a barber. If Darwin had become a street sweeper rather than a scientist, how things would be different. We might not even have liberals were it not for those two guys.

Err.. I forgot his name... but there was another scientist independently came up with the theory of evolution. Darwin published his material first. If Darwin weren't a scientist, everything would be the same except for me forgetting that other guy's name.

Yes but feces has a far greater beneficial biological function than Rush Limbaugh's tongue ever will have. Limbaugh's tongue is essentially intellectually and biologically inert.
Now there's a name for a band! Rush Limbaugh's Tongue...oh wait, it's already been done..

This is my favorite part, right at the end:
There are two guys whose work goes on and on and on that continue to just have everything all screwed up. One was Darwin, the other is Freud. You ever stop to think what would happen if Freud had never been born, or Freud had become a barber. If Darwin had become a street sweeper rather than a scientist, how things would be different. We might not even have liberals were it not for those two guys.
What an amazing misreading of history. I have no idea how to respond to it. "We might not even have liberals…" Wow.

Both Darwin's and Wallace's ideas were presented at the same time. Darwin took a very long time dotting the 'i's and crossing the 't's to make sure it was bullet proof before making it public. He was the consummate scientist.
If neither had been born, somebody else would have come up with it. Most of the background ideas existed prior to their work.

The smear that will not die. Just by repeating it enough these charlatans hope to keep the smear alive. This is the issue. Of course they could not possibly act on the science until they "investigated" this evil fraud for say a decade...
