pencilpusher. just because Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 sooooo, pretty much anyone can just open a university nowadays? Aren't there any standards?

nuccah Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 nope, there are at least 2 of us.He doesn't need to be funny, he's obnoxious 80% of the time. However, he always hits the nail on the head. His 'correspondents' on the other hand, are idiots (although thats what they are paid for). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King ED Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Let me be clear. I am not a fan of Beck but Lewis. Black is horrible. There is NOTHING funny about the man or what he says. This is not my opiniion, rather it is a fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gritzblitz 2.0 Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Jon Stewart can be just as wrong and just as full of **** as Glenn Beck, but at least he's funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconsd56 Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Jon Stewart can be just as wrong and just as full of **** as Glenn Beck, but at least he's funny.Everyone can be wrong....... everyone can be full of it.At least Stewart though has no pretensions about what he is. That is the scariest thing about Beck, he is portraying a character ( even he admitted its an act) yet he does not do enough to let that on to people who mindlessly believe him.

"The Overton Window" is his attempt at "Atlas Shrugged", and from what I've heard it's about as enlightening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not my opiniion, rather it is a fact.Lewis Black is very hot and cold to me. Some of his stuff is over the top and not funny (typically the political lines), and some of his stuff makes me spit beer all over my TV screen. The one time I saw him live, he declared that he didn't think that Obama would achieve his goal of alternative energy. That's when somebody in the audience started clapping. In a classic Johnny Carson "look" moment, he walked around the stage shaking his head and holding his head in his hands for five minutes and it was absolutely hilarious. He finally piped out that "if I told you that you could power your entire house with the energy created from the flapping of butterfly wings, YOU'D EFFING SAY NO?!?!?"Looking at it written down on a message board isn't very funny, but when he did it live it was absolutely hysterical. I think his recent material is too much about playing the "Lewis Black" character (angry liberal white guy) and not enough about being genuinely PO'd.
