Lewis Black ... Black Is Beautiful

I will, at this time, freely admit that I worship at the alter of Lewis Black. Okay…I don’t literally worship him, but I do deeply love him. Lewis is acidic, sarcastic, cynical, and consistently on the mark. He tells it like it is and lets no one get away with what can only be referred to as bovine fecal matter..

Lewis is a fearless commentator on society and world issues. In a perfect world I’d make him the leader of the free world. He calls leaders on the carpet for their retarded nonsense and keeps us in stitches while doing it. He is the only comedian I have ever watched that actually made the topic of the weather something funny.He has a habit of being honest and merciless, which I find refreshing. He is difficult to describe…so I will let you see for yourself. Check out the quotes…or better yet, order his Books or DVDs. I personally loved watching Lewis Black: Red, White and Screwed the most, but I appreciated it more after having seen and/or listened to his other performances.

Let's face it, Americans are fat all year round, but the holidays are when we really hit our stride. And you can bet the food we eat will be just as unhealthy as the families we're forced to visit.

Candy Corn is the only candy in the history of America that's never been advertised. And there's a reason. All of the candy corn that was ever made was made in 1911.

Behind me, I heard a young woman of 25 say, "If it weren’t for my horse, I wouldn’t have spent that year in college." Now, I'm gonna repeat that, because it bears repeating. "If it weren't for my horse..." as in, giddyup, giddyup, let's go — "I wouldn't have spent that year in college," which is a degree-granting institution. Don't think about that too long, or BLOOD will shoot out your nose!
***
The Republicans are the party of bad ideas. The Democrats are the party of no ideas.
***
In my lifetime, we've gone from Eisenhower to George W. Bush. We've gone from John F. Kennedy to Al Gore. If this is evolution, I believe that in 12 years, we'll be voting for plants.

I do have certain feelings. My feeling is that whoever is in charge, I want him out. (on his political views)
