And Howard Cosell was used for torture. Amazingly, Cosell appeared in Woody's Bananas in a bit part, and a cruel parody of his style.

Woody was on to them even before they went completely insane. All they were calling for in 1973 was for anyone who wanted a handgun to be able to own one.

Let's hope they've come about as far as they'll ever go. The NRA is something like a house of cards that's grown too large. They could fall into complete ruin anytime.

Allen truly is a comic genius, I love his style.

I don't much like his obsession with 20s music tho. meh.

My parents used to lock me up in a closet, and if I was really bad they'd come in there with me.
