Lewis Black is hilarious, at least in part, because he channels our rage for us. In writing this post, I was reminded of a bit of Black's stand-up, and I thought I would share. If you can't handle profanity, I would advise against watching the clip. I would also advise a thicker skin, because you're missing out on a lot of fun.

And, if you liked that tidbit, here's the whole show:

It's not just science that won't let this sort of talk in. I know from experience that it's completely unacceptable in philosophical circles as well. This is a serious infringement on the free speech of scientists and philosophers who see the evidence for this alternative theory!

In a previous post, I mentioned some of the problems with legally defining a zygote as a person, as a bill before the Georgia state legislature proposes. George Carlin hits pretty much each and every point I made... with much better timing.
Warning: He uses explicit language and there are adult themes, so if you're seriously offended by that sort of thing...well, you're missing out.

Sometimes the things philosophers think about do in fact turn up in everyday life... like this bit of use-mention comedy. Is is really possible to mention a diagram that you're showing? Hmm....

The difference between Democratic and Republican humor: one is funny, and the other is not. Just look at the difference between Santa's endorsement of Hillary and his endorsement of Mitt. Maybe it's just that there is nothing funny to me about an endorsement of Romney. Anyone who will abandon his views just to pander to the least rational of the Republican party is not someone I want leading my country. What else would he be willing to do in order to make sure that the rich, powerful and looney get what they want? Invade an oil rich nation? Break down the wall of separation between church and state? Push through laws that take away women's rights? It worked for Bush, right?
