This morning's New York Times says Lenny Bruce was 40 when he died, not 37 as I wrote. So be it.
The Times story also quotes Tom Smothers:
"You can say the dirty words now, but there is no content - political satire is limited to small podiums and little soap boxes."
Well, there is the Daily Show with Jon Stewart (Comedy Central, 9 PM Mountain). It's very intelligent if not uproariously funny. But that's all I can think of in the way of political satire.
Hmmm.
