Bill Hicks on Letterman - Better Late Than Never

Bill Hicks' banned Late Show with David Letterman set from October 1, 1993.

Kinda cool for Letterman to air it finally. I still miss Mr. Hicks. Such a genius comedian. I saw him perform in Austin a zillion years ago. I feel lucky.

Seriously, if I don't stop watching MSNBC all the time soon my brain might be irreparable. Contessa, Tamron, Joe and Mika, and especially David, Chris and Chuck, I think you're all just swell, but really... I need my life back.

And in just one short week I'll have it, but will I have it all?

Oh, if only Obama winning meant just that. It's a start, though, I hope. In eight days I could own the President's fork. It's just too crazy to contemplate.

In the meantime, I am totally heartbroken over Joaquin Phoenix retiring.

Also, I hope the German police have caught the menace that is the speeding Muppet.

And then there's the above pictured tattoo that Kat Von D did of Mick Mars on her boyfriend Nikki Sixx's leg. I read that Motley Crue biography and as disturbing as it was, you couldn't help but love Mick. I adore him like I adore Kirk Hammett. I wonder how Kirk would feel about that.

Alec Baldwin just called Sarah Palin "Bible Spice" on Late Night with David Letterman. I hope I'm the first person on Earth to report that.

I gotta give it up to Mark Wahlberg for talking to a donkey.

Sarah Palin... not so much. That was... awkward (Alec Baldwin would barely look at her, though, to be fair, he was reading his cue cards. Tina Fey was spot on, as always). Part of me wants to give her props for going into the lion's den, but, what was it someone said on Real Time with Bill Maher? She lacks the shame gene? Something like that. So apt.

I'll post video when it's up.

Speaking of "awkward" and "video", here's John McCain on Letterman.
