Fast forward to 3:15

"There is nothing more wonderful than the miracle we call Capitalism. It was created in the mind of God himself. That's why it's perfect. It is a garden with its own sunlight . . .

"Then I heard the Sec'ry of the Treasury say, 'Put straws up your nose, the RIVER OF SHIT IS RISING!'"

Classic.

3. I love Lewis Black. There's a reason why George Carlin pretty much named Lou as his successor.

8. His standup is amazing.
Check out his albums "Stark Raving Black", "The End Of The Universe", and "The White Album".

9. I love Lewis Black.
I don't call him a Comedian.
I call him a Prophet.
