First of all, I guess I have to thank Big Nick for putting me on blast like this... Ah the wonders of technology.

Second of all, I still stand by what I said. I just want to clear up a couple of points...

1) If my post leads you to believe that I think that Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle are the only brilliant comics working then please allow me to apologize. I was trying to say that there are not many )living) comics who can successfully be compared to the brilliance of Lenny Bruce and Richard Pryor (as members of the media have done with Silverman). They are the only two (nationally known) comics that I know of who deserve this kind of praise.

There are many, many other brilliant comedians. Not being able to be compared to Lenny Bruce and Richard Pryor does not preclude you from being brilliant.

2) Eddie Murphy was never in my opinion trying to be ironic. Silverman clearly (in my opinion) is.

3) If anyone wants to see a clip of my stand-up go here

Am I funny? Yes, you can decide for yourself. I haven't done that burrito joke in years, cuz it was stoopid.

Ironically the person I have the biggest complaint with on this message board is the one person that I know (Ah Jesse, what happened to us?)... although maybe that's not true irony either. I'll have to ask Sarah.
