 Not his best March 4, 2008
Anges Jeffcoat (Pelion, SC United States)
I really enjoy Lewis Black...I have all his CDs now and I listen to them while commuting along with a couple other choice comedians. I have listened to his other CDs many, many times and they are still funny to me and I watch him do the same material if I catch him on TV.
But, this is not up to par with his other work, I was really pretty disappointed. I will still listen to it, but it's not the place to start if you are looking for your first Lewis Black for your collection, start with any of the others.

I purchased this CD because I enjoyed Lewis Black's "Rules of Enragement" so much. However, I was very disappointed at the change in his subject matter. It appears he prostituted himself for the "Rules" CD.
At Carnegie Hall, for a large Democrat and liberal audience, he only disparages conservatives and Republicans. Hurricane Katrina--he has nothing to say about the Democrat mayor of New Orleans nor the Democrat governor of Louisiana.
Gay Marriage--everyone who is Republican is homophobe, not homoaverse.
Terry Schiavo-only the Republicans used her for political advantage, while Black relates how he masturbated through this event.
However, in "Rules," before a conservative audience, he disparages both sides of the political spectrum, dishonestly protraying himself as a moderate.
I really don't care if you are left-wing or right-wing, but if you are going to do political humor, at least you should always be honest about what side of the fence, or on the fence, you are standing.
Ok, but not as good as previous works January 15, 2008

I own all of Lewis Black's CDs, and I found this one to be the least entertaining. The CD started off kind of slow, and the routine seemed to lack polish and delivery early on. As the show went on it got better, but in general it still wasn't as funny as his previous work. I'm typically roaring from start to finish while listening to Lewis Black, but on this CD I found myself bored and longing for the radio at times. With that said, it's still not a terrible CD. My expectations are high because I've loved his other CDs, and this fell short of my expectations. Comedy (like music) is a personal thing, but I think there are far better Lewis Black CDs out there.
 Why is he always so right? December 26, 2007
Sheral Graham (Central Point,OR)
As always, Lewis Black never fails to deliver, and this album is no exception. I learn more about politics from him, than from any other source! (kidding.....but you have to admit, he gets to the core of the issues) This album was much better than his performance on Last Laugh 2007. Now....if only he was not such a hot head, he'd make a good president!! Enjoy!!
lots of fluff with a little meat September 12, 2007

I'm intriged by anyone who tells the truth these days,however painful.
I didn't realize he stuttered so much though.He only says one cuss word,but he says it constantly.he was mildly funny,but he never seems to get really rolling.I'm not too impressed with this album,but I might buy his others if they are any better.
