I LOVE Lewis Black.  He could read the weather forcast and I would still laugh because of his anger shtick.

Yeah, I just picked up the Minnesota concert (current politics/Iraq) one this past weekend and was listening to it today....he seriously made me think of saint!

I also picked up Ron White's CD - that M'er F'er almost caused me an accident, I was laughing so hard!

My buddy in NC - favorite line from The White Album (or is it The Black Album?) once he found out I was from WI - "30-some-odd inches of snow fell, or as you here in WI call it a dusting..."  He honest to Rudy pissed his pants when we heard that the first time - he's dying of laughter, I'm sitting there going "he nailed that one pretty good!"

Never heard of him :) Send me a link?

Hey Saint, I was listening to Lewis Black today....do you happen to be a fan of his work?  You strike me as exactly how he was portraying himself.....can't remember the CD, but it was the one where he is in Minnesota.

I can't get to that. Might be my browser.

If you have XM radio they play him on XM Comedy XL quite a bit.  He has this routine about Starbucks being on overy corner, it gets me roaring every time.  

Don't judge him by his Daily Show appearances, his uncensored stand-up is just great.

Too bad we didn't have anyone guarding it.  :-\

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6323933/

"At the Pentagon, an official who monitors developments in Iraq said U.S.-led coalition troops had searched Al-Qaqaa in the immediate aftermath of the March 2003 invasion and confirmed that the explosives, which had been under IAEA seal since 1991, were intact. The site was not secured by U.S. forces, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity."


WTF?!?

Saddam had banned explosives?!?
Do the French know about this?
