Quote of the day
Caught parts of Lewis Black: Black on Broadway on HBO. One line stuck out and rang true (paraphrased):
The only thing worse than a Republican or a Democrat is what’s created when they work together.

Lewis Black is one of my favorites, and that one is pretty good. But my favorite quote from him came prior to the 2000 election:
“In my lifetime, I’ve gone from JFK to Gore.
“In my lifetime, I’ve gone from Ike to GW Bush.
“If this is evolution, in a few years we’re going to be voting for PLANTS!”

I actually met Lewis Black in a bar in Milwaukee. Surprsingly, he’s a really nice guy. You’d even describe him as pleasant. Nothing at all like his act.
Then again, I was pretty liquored up at the time. I closed our conversation by saying that I hoped to meet him one day when I wasn’t so drunk. He replied by saying that maybe next time, he wouldn’t be drunk, either.

Oh, and my favorite Lewis Black joke came earlier this year on the Daily Show, after a woman filed a frivolous lawsuit against Wal-Mart: “I should sue her for making me take Wal-Mart’s side on anything!”

The one I came away with is, “The Democratic Party is the party of no ideas, and the Republican party is the party of bad ideas” and “The way it works is that a Republican stands up in Congress and says, ‘I have a really bad idea’ and then a Democrat jumps up and says, “I can make that idea even shittier!”

My favorite from the special, regarding the infamous color code threat awareness system — and please excuse the language —
“Here’s how the threat level should be:
1) Jesus Christ!
2) Goddamnit!
3) FUCK ME!”
