Me too - I've always liked him, but he's transcended "comedy for stoners"
and is a skilled social observer. I would LOVE to hear him go off on the
terrorist/war/corporate greed trifecta right now. As much as I love comics
who are just plain funny (Dave Attell and Dwayne Kennedy are my two current
favorites), listening to Bill Hicks, Dennis Miller and Lewis Black rip a new
a-hole into sacred cows is fun on another level.

Well, if you make that very early 60s when a regular routine at school was
to make kids go into the hallway and squat down next to a wall with their
hands folded over their heads - nuclear fire drills, if you will - yeah,
this is pretty damned close. Hard to make a decision about world events when
you're so cynical about getting any truth to begin with. Between the economy
and the Middle East, the last couple of years have been VERY strange
indeed...
