Truth, Justice and the American Comedic Way

I tried a little "truth" experiment the other night at Chief Ike's and it went over like a lead-turd wearing ankle weights. Sorry about that. However, in the spirit of the Holiday weekend and this country's fervor for the truth and justice, I'd like to leave you with a thought from the late Richard Jeni talking about the late Bill Hicks,

"You know when you watched him, you'd kind of feel bad...I should be doing more of this kind of thing, I should be telling the truth more often". (If you follow the link its at 1:23)

To Carlin, Hicks, Pryor and all those that have used their voice not only for humor but as an instrument of reason and an execution of freedom--Happy Fourth.
