We love you, Richard, but Amato wants to know if it would kill you to mention C&L when you're on Countdown. C'mon, throw the guy a bone. You can pick up Richard's book The Other Great Depression here and here on audio.

C&L fan Richard Lewis (I saw him perform here in San Francisco a few weeks back and he actually plugged the site! Thanks, Richard :0)) on last night's Countdown discussing politics today. Richard's book The Other Great Depression is now out on paperback.

This is it. Finally, the Official Crooks and Liars Top 100 Stand-up Comedians of all time. Let's face it, whether you're David Letterman or Oskar Schindler, everyone loves lists. While highly subjective, this list has been scientifically vetted by recently deceased members of the Friar's Club for accuracy and fairness. There is no wiggle room. This is the official list. Anyone thinking otherwise is of course in error but can explain their massive feelings in the comments section. (Please remember to keep all comments to ten words or less so more can vent.)

]John Amato: There are videos hyperlinked to each name so that you can see a small performance of as many of the great stand-ups as we could find. (language alert) Have fun--agree or disagree, but sit down for a few minutes and enjoy a laugh with us.
