Man what a master of using silence and cadence to really get the biggest impact possible out of his word economy in his writing. Its just so impressive to watch

[ericheine]

Louis I need moments of clarity and brevity and you provide that. Thank you

[mannishboy]

I had one of those "car phones" with the giant battery packs. It was $.50 a minute and $1.00 for roaming. The Goddamn thing went into roaming every other fucking mile!!!

[rebeccahover]

If ya ever need to laugh ..Lewis Black is the one to listen to

[davidgraylord]

Do you know how much fuel it took to raise that corn so it could be turned into fuel? Make that make sense

[PAMELAPORTER-cimr]

When in college, one of my profs took used cooking oil and used it in his VW.

[bigboy]

Can we make Lewis a national treasure? 😂

[michaelstanton]

Yep no one ever includes energy to make things not just it's materials.

[PureEnergy]

Notice the Solar panels you see now around your towns. The Wind Turbines. Alternative Energy is happening now.

I did stand-up. I did many things. My motive was to get a pay check. Things I did otherwise were auditions for big money work, and I worked out primarily at the Comic Strip in Fort Lauderdale. My experiences were the same as if I was being paid in that for a few times and enough otherwise I got the entire room to laugh. I want to do a pro set again before I die. Mr. Lewis Black is an inspiration for me. My general, biggest hero is Ulysses S. Grant. There must be some other heroes that I have besides Mr. Lewis Black. I was once searching for heroes like William Faulkner was for me in the category of writer. Mr. Black said he loved his audience because he got to write as they were his audience. When you have in front of you an audience that you can tell did not experience life on Earth as you know it, What is left to do but just do your act. Say that you see them and improvise for the next 45 minutes what the hell but insulting each and every one of them you see, are you to do. You want them to love you so you'll get booked somewhere in the future. Whatever is the wrong answer is funny. Whatever is the right answer is funny. I'm sorry, it is the questions that make the matter.

Yes, our country has advanced so much but we have also gone down the drain when we have a choice of Trump and Biden to run our country. We deserve better but our political parties have let us down, we have a choice between a too old man and an old conman, thank you Republicans and Democrats.

[tashuntka]

When you hear my thoughts.

How much fuel does it take to grow food to turn to fuel??

[zdcyclopslickley]

No. there are two main types of corn. The corn that people eat is sweet corn. The other type is field corn. Field corn is fed to animals. Or you can make alcohol from it. No one turned people food into fuel.

[robedmund]

Does Mr. Black fly to his gigs? Still funny stuff.

[zeldasmith]

If they was to use the methane that comes off of hot garbage or even the methane that comes off of a sewer plant it could be used for cooking or other. They might have to scrub it to make it smell better but you could use it.

[USAACbrat]

Another shot of Black. Food for fuel was 1 billion a year gov't subsidy. They were paying back the doners. Arthur Daniel Midland midland paid about 3 million in tax deductible contribution. Bet you didn't even feel it. Hundreds of Thousands of GREEN ENERGY Amp hours due to the inability of our wonderful grid can't connect to them. like a whole town.

[jlcork]

Using corn for fuel if far safer for people than consuming it.

[thedjuanmooreshow]

The people get it but the people in charge don't give a fudge

[johnhosley]

I don't mean to disagree but Corn has been used to make ethanol for 200 yrs the first 3 oz.. of a gallon of methanol is ethanol which until recently was just discarded now we can drive on it.
