...and important truths in the face of the establishment, as Bill always did, and you can count on being marginalized. That's why most won't do it -- not in comedy, not in journalism, and certainly not in politics.

7. Good stuff -- thank you for posting that. |

Wish I knew a way to get that video worked in to every sermon delivered in every church in the country tomorrow morning. And therein, I suppose, lies the real challenge -- getting the "wampum upside the head," in your face, harsh truth delivered to those who really need to hear it the most.

10. When did he pass away.... |

we always caught him at the Comedy Club in Houston. I swear you needed an inhaler to watch him....even if you didn't have asthma.
