The real truth tellers, of which we have so few, never seem to hang around very long -- sad.

5. You throw harsh, unvarnished...

...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.
