Lewis Black describes the two-party system as a bowl of shit looking

[dogday]

at itself in the mirror.



talk amongst yourselves...:evilgrin:

[leftstreet]

1. Lewis Black for Press Secretary! n/t

[Bozita]

3. No shit! ... +1

[dogday]

8. I think that could be a thread in it's own merit.

Great idea, really. I wonder could Lewis and Obama really come to terms on this, it would be great to see Lewis Black deliver the news for the WH.

Or contact LB and give him this idea for material for his show. Would be funny as hell to see him pretend to deliver the WH news with his spin like he does....:thumbsup:

[csziggy]

10. The Rude Pundit could be his vacation replacement! n/t

[Enthusiast]

45. +1 nt

[alfredo]

2. True, so true.

[Yeahyeah]

4. A bowl of shit we're forced too eat.

[valerief]

6. So true. Disgustingly true. nt

[dogday]

14. I can't tell the difference when it is served by either side to be

honest with you.

[Karenina]

17. True dat! But here's a DU oldie for your enjoyment!

[femrap]

48. I believe the saying has become.....

Eat Shit and Live.

[BrklynLiberal]

28. "Life is a shit sandwich & the more dough you have, the less shit you have to eat."

[axollot]

36. ahh so true. One of the 1st things I learned when I left the nest. n/t

[Grinchie]

33. Nobody can force you.. You are doing it on your own.

I'll die before I submit to this travesty that people put up with on a daily basis, simply because it's my right as an evolved Human being.

[The Wizard]

41. Life is a big shit sandwhich

and we all have to take a bite. The more bread you have means the less shit you have to eat.
Old joke repeated.

[mmonk]

5. Love Lewis Black.

saw him in person last year.

[dogday]

7. I am so jealous of you. He is one of the things I have listed

on my bucket list.


I will be traveling 8 hours to see Neil Young in Bilouxi on 9/25, and I will be seating in the pit section 3rd row. I will be able to reach out and shake his hand, and it will be just him on a one on one venue, no band, no backup. I am so excited..

[mmonk]

15. Wish I could be with you for that. I have seen Neil 3 times.

The last two with Crazy Horse. Never a bad show.

I have an autographed picture of Lewis Black.

[Enthusiast]

46. Yeah, Neil Young

with Crazy Horse is the greatest. He wails on "Old Black".

[AnArmyVeteran]

9. I took my 18 yo son to see him 5 years ago.

We had a great time. Black was even funnier in person.

[mmonk]

16. My 19 year old went and was 18 at the time.

Interesting. He is great to see in person.

[ThomCat]

11. I hope it was a wonderful experience.

:)

I would LOVE a chance to see him in person.

[Better Believe It]

12. I and my spouse saw him at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas a few years ago.

The audience loved him and we did too!

He's hard hitting and speaks the truth, a lot like the late and great George Carlin.

[NikolaC]

34. So did my husband and I

We were staying at the MGM Grand and found out that he was performing there. We couldn't pass up the chance since we really enjoyed watching his standup on television.

[Edweird]

13. I saw him in Miami over a year ago - it was a letdown sadly.

I still like him.

[mmonk]

20. Sorry to hear that.

Try again sometime as he changes his shows up.

[Edweird]

27. He seemed unusually 'restrained' for whatever reason.

We all have our 'off' days. I'll see him again.

[femrap]

49. I just read in my Sunday paper

that he's coming to a nearby town in my area in October. I'd really like to see him.

[Larry Ogg]

18. A shit metaphor to explain away all the shit...

A bowl of shit looking at itself in the mirror is the result of someone deciding not to flush along long time ago, unfortunately shit took on a life of its own and began to grow, eventually people couldn't tell if shit was coming or going because shit was everywhere, and then before you know it people started talking shit, and many even began to act and feel like shit because some shit was cool while other shit was hot, and for some people shit was all you could get, unless you were a real looser that couldn't get shit, because some people wanted all the good shit for themselves, even though the whole country was deep in shit. So then a bunch of people decide that they had enough shit, so they had a big election and ...holy shit... they won a great victory and shit was going to hit the fan, and because of their huge efforts, the way shit happens was going to change... Except for one little thing, when it was all said and done everyone looked at their reward in amazement..., it was the same old shit...

[dogday]

21. This sounds just like a Lewis Black rant... I love it n/t

[Larry Ogg]

22. Thanks dogday...

Never heard of Lewis Black before today, I just took the analogy and ran with it; glad to see someone enjoyed it...

[dogday]

24. Then this is for you!

[Larry Ogg]

30. Thanks for the link dogday

I can definitely relate to a lot of Lewis Black's insight and perspective, he is quite skilled at using parody to describe deep subject matter, for me parody is somewhat of an accident or hit and miss style of writing, but definitely something I should concentrate more on. Maybe watching more of Lewis Black will help, so thank you for introducing me to him...

[Lost4words]

39. you know your shit!! LOL nt

[Usrename]

52. Shit happens!

:thumbsup:

[Forkboy]

19. My friend says it's like choosing between diarhhea and constipation.

[keep_it_real]

23. If people are hungry enough they will eat shit

[Quantess]

25. This is the kind of laugh I needed right now.

I'm in a mood for it.

[TheKentuckian]

26. High truthiness and truth levels there

[BrklynLiberal]

29. Accurate description of what wehave going here...

[defendandprotect]

31. That's been clear for at least two-three decades....but still many don't realize it!!

[readmoreoften]

32. Wow. That is an amazing analogy. The funniest part being: a bowl of shit is blind.

Nailed it.

[flyarm]

35. Could not be more true!!!! K&R

[oyvind]

37. I think Rich Hall said it best when he said in 2008:

"Basically it's a shit sandwich, but we had a choice between white and brown bread this time."

[Lost4words]

38. what is Rich Hall doing these days?

havent heard or seen him in years!

[blindpig]

40. Sounds like a fair analysis. n/t

[lunatica]

42. LOL!

Thank you Lewis Black.

[burnsei sensei]

43. A fuckin men Lewis. nt

[Enthusiast]

44. Lewis has always been extra perceptive

like that.

[Blue Owl]

47. LMAO

I'd forgotten that one!

Hope Robert Gibbs is taking notes.

[colsohlibgal]

50. Sounds About Right

Nice call Lewis. The official democrat party is now the new republicans, the republicans are now the new nuthouse residents.

[Initech]

51. I also like this Lewis Black quote:

"We have the republicans - a party of bad ideas and the democrats - a party of no ideas. And how it works is a republican will stand up in congress and shout "I have a really bad idea" and the democrat will respond "Oh yeah? I can make it shittier and shittier..."

[dogday]

53. Thanks everyone for making this a great thread!
