    George Carlin. He and I share a lot of worldview.

    1. Yankees lose
    2. Red Sox win

    Anybody ever seen Black on Broadway - Lewis Black? It's one of the best hours of standup I've seen. I have it on DVD and my wife and I have watched it numerous times.

    He was hysterically funny as a standup, but when he had his own show he would flop.
