He's not dead yet!

Mother Jones has an interview with Monty Python alum Terry Jones that is well worth a read. The discussion centers around Jones' recently published anthology of the political satires he's been writing for The Observer, The Guardian and The Independent over the past few years. (The columns are well worth looking up; they're some of the best satire this side of Jonathan Swift.) But they also cover other topics, including Jones' other recent publication on Chaucer. Who the hell knew that Jones was a medievalist? Pretty cool stuff.
