Along the lines of thought of the last rant read (and oh how perfect a rant that was!!!), “politicians” oughta NOT be rich &/or wealthy in the first damned place.. to even be allowed on a ballot or otherwise, for any public office position, elected in OR “appointed”!
You and George Carlin are the only two that I've ever seen make my dad laugh so hard he had tears in his eyes, just on the off chance you read this I thought you might like to know. Thank you for being genuinely funny and witty
The argument made by the Senator from Missouri’s wife is that the religious rights of the emergency room doctors that treat the cases that involve complications from the use of mithepristone are infringed. It is expected that a 7/2 rejection will result for lack of standing.
I need different friends. They're all full of crap with these never ending Asinine conspiracy theories. Wish I had a friend like you. Love hearing your rants. Thanks for being here.
I don’t know if it’s a function of where I live but we are awash with the ridiculous conspiracy theories. Nothing can be as it is without someone weaving some absurd nonsense into it. I worked for Microsoft for many a year and enjoyed being surrounded by people much more talented than I am and considerably smarter. It was like being in college with my assumptions challenged and constantly growing. Now I’m retired and back in Texas where my neighbors think Ted Cruise is the smartest man on the planet and Bill Gates is some demon.
Laurie and I are sisters from another mother. Hell yeah. They start all the wars. This'll give them something to preoccupy themselves LOL. I can't forget to thank Lewis for reading. ♥️☮️👍
Dear Mr. Black, thank you for speaking the truth and saying what I wish I could scream from the mountain tops. I was born in Baltimore and lived there with my folks till they moved us to Florida. My grandmother lived in Westminster and I spent every summer with her. How can the powers that be send money to every place that wants money from the government but they don't seem interested in helping out with a bridge that is important to travel on land and important to the Port of Baltimore? I just don't understand. Thank you for caring about Maryland and thank you for all you try to do. God bless you always.
Hey Lewis, the whole Baltimore Harbor thing is tough. We could mandate tugs, but (a) tugs are REALLY expensive, about $15k per hookup and boats that size need 2, so that would greatly increase shipping costs, (b) we don’t have enough tugs so we would have to pay for more and then train crews, and it takes years to become qualified to handle tugs the size needed for these huge cargo ships, much less captain them. We could make size mandates on cargo ships, but then (a) shipping costs will increase, but (b) it is far more likely that shipping companies will divert to other ports instead, harming Baltimore’s economy. Oh, they already cleared a channel, but rebuilding the bridge is far more difficult than repairing I-95. It will take many years even as an emergency. That bridge on I-695 took lots of pressure off I-95, and it will also make cargo transport much more difficult. The other two major N/S routes through B’more have tunnels, so no hazardous or flammable cargo is permitted. That means transport will have to go west to the ICC, which might not be a bad thing since that boondoggle road is heavily underutilized.
There are a lot of “journals” that publish anything if you pay them. University promotions are often completely based on only the number of papers published. No one asks if anyone reads them. These satire papers are increasing in number because the whole publish or lose you job seems like a scam. I got out of that racket decades ago.
Specially with advent of AI, university professors are no longer going to have to invest the time in writing, but only in reading and editing the AI produced paper.
25:33 To hear a 52 year old quote John Lennon gives me hope. I was laying on the couch watching Monday night football when, Howard announced the death of John Lennon😊 My first born was that morning
I just realized I hadn't told you in my prior comment that I am almost 70 years old. I can not begin to tell you how much I miss Maryland. For me, it will always be home. I can still recall the way the air smelled. It was so light and fresh. Anyway, I don't want to bore you you to death but, I miss my home. Thank you for being there for all of us.
It’s the American way to make things as cheaply as possible - until people say it’s junk or people get hurt. I am real frustrated with the low quality of manufactured goods. The amusement parks are unregulated: that’s why people occasionally get hurt or killed. Then something gets done.
The moneygrubbing by hopeful candidates has disgusted me for 25 years or more. I say we tell everybody running for office they get a set budget of X amount whatever that is 5 million, 20 million, I don't know, and when it's gone it's gone and they either win the election of they lose. If nothing else maybe it would cause some of these ass-hat clowns to make more appropriate advertising materials stating what they plan to do and how they plan to do it rather than just berating and denigrating the other candidate.
$50 for a maintenance inhaler something you need not some toy not some games you don’t need but you might really need it to save your life one day. Crazy that in other countries you can get it for less than $10.
Our voting districts are jerrymandered. I've tried to get rid of our incumbent representative for years, but no luck. I almost feel like running myself!
Sounds like Ted might have ADHD, could be worth looking into. As a late diagnosed ADHDer myself I've found medication super helpful, but just knowing that your brain works differently is also super helpful.
Whole idea of abortion is to rescue woman from a lot of misery and suffering ( cant afford family etc) Franciscan priest told me young women suffer severely invtheir lives with unwanted babies... Formedy understanding of the issue
They are only concerned about the child until it is born. After birth, there are very few programs set up to help the child grow up. My grandaugther's father wasn't made to pay child support for her, because he didn't make a lot of money. My daughter needed all the help she could get to raise her daughter. He lived with his parents and had no bills to pay, so he only worked part-time jobs. The Republicans in that court system has made it easy for deadbeat Dads to get out of taking care of their children.
I think everyone should form voting blocks and sell their votes(as one big unit) to the highest bidder. Unions do it!... At least you would get something for that vote right now, instead of promises that never materialize.
Sorry Lewis - gotta disagree with your statement about making it fast on this one with the bridge. Nobody can make this happen fast without killing other people. I've seen the underwater scans of the remains of that bridge and it is a nightmare from hell. There is no fast way to get all that mess out of that channel. It doesn't exist. With every single piece they cut off that bridge and attempt to move, there will be a risk of related pieces shifting, moving, or falling. Imagine being a diver down there with the visibility typically of less than 1 foot crawling in blackness around a bunch of sharp bent twisted broken metal. You wouldn't be doing it fast either. This is going to take some time....everyone pull up your big person panties and quit bitching!
I think a journalist should ask the obvious question to politicians. The question: You seem to have a innate ability to protect and grow your family wealth and power. Why don't you apply that ability to growing our wealth?
The Key Bridge was simply a disaster, Lewis- just the concatation of serious problems, and six people died. Thousands die on the road every year, and we can somewhat control it; WE CAN'T CONTROL EVERY DISASTER. Wishing we could is hubris. All we can do is clean up our mess, rebuild, and TRY to implement better safety measures- only to find ourselves unpleasantly surprised the next time. I disagree with your take on this a lot, compared to most other things. A real Moonshot effort might get the harbor restored this year- people aren't going to starve with it closed, so you need to REALLY think abou he cost of doing it that way.
I watch network news, too. I also check Fox for a laugh. And look up opinions shows online. It's a lot of work and time for someone who is almost 70. I do a lot of babysitting little kids. I have a tv on and my phone while yelling at kids.
THEY PROVIDE US COMEDIANS AMPLE ABOUT OF JOKE'S 😂😂😂😂😂 TAKE ONE PASS IT AROUND GRABBING ANOTHER WATCH OUT THIS ONE TRUMPS THE LAST TRUMPET 🎺🎺🎺🎺❤😂😂😂 MUCH LOVE
I don't know why people bitch about DST. I'm woke all the time and it doesn't bother me at all. You're not going to get a majority when 49% are below average.

Lewis's rants (a.k.a - reality checks) are always on topic and are spot on.
I lived in Pikesville Maryland while my wife was at Johns Hopkins Medical School.
Exit 21 off the Beltway. I used to cross that bridge all the time.
If I were in legal trouble I would want Lewis as my lawyer! 😆
🎉me2😊🎉🎉🎉
You and George Carlin are the only two that I've ever seen make my dad laugh so hard he had tears in his eyes, just on the off chance you read this I thought you might like to know. Thank you for being genuinely funny and witty
Thanks for standing up for women's rights ❤

@@kevinmcconnell3641 soon there will be no need for people except to tend the machines. I am only half serious. Lol
25:33 To hear a 52 year old quote John Lennon gives me hope. I was laying on the couch watching Monday night football when, Howard announced the death of John Lennon😊 My first born was that morning
I went to a vigil for John Lennon in Toronto at Nathan Phillips Square. 35,000 people were there.
I just realized I hadn't told you in my prior comment that I am almost 70 years old. I can not begin to tell you how much I miss Maryland. For me, it will always be home.

Love you Lewis!!!
always had a bad feeling about that bridge and always drove out of my way to avoid it
Well that's interesting. It did look pretty light weight and fragile therefore. Also scary high up

Thank you Lewis love the rant as always.
Is there a way to get the daylight savings rant clip? Feel that is a good intro video to share with people unfamiliar with this podcast.
I agree 100% Lewis. How dare a man tell me what to do with my body.
I will take a long time to replace that bridge. I would be astounded if the new bridge was up and running in under 3 years.
😂 I like Easter because it's a holiday about a zombie.
Our voting districts are jerrymandered. I've tried to get rid of our incumbent representative for years, but no luck. I almost feel like running myself!
That's what I've been thinking too! Why aren't tug boats escorting these massive ships in and out of the port?
No bumpers on the base of the columns. WTF?
Still making me giggle like the exorcist after all these years... God bless you lewis
Say "Hello", to the chicken, from me.
😂😂😂 ALWAYS A GREAT PLEASURE ❤️❤️😊❤
The hardest working man in showbiz 😊
What will Trump sell next? His soul is gone…maybe a family memeber?
Yes, I agree about the pandemic disaster. I hope we learn from it.

I wonder if his next stand up will touch on celebs being criminal
Amen Lewis!

LaCrosse sold out! 👏🏼
Can't spell trauma without trum.
I miss the Rubber Chicken
I blame Google.
Lewis watches NBC. Oh, there it is. The poor poor old boomer.
You can't insult a literal baby boomer by calling them boomer 😂
I watch network news, too. I also check Fox for a laugh. And look up opinions shows online. It's a lot of work and time for someone who is almost 70. I do a lot of babysitting little kids. I have a tv on and my phone while yelling at kids.
Stoll got bitchin hair my man. Looks great you look great thank god stay rhat way!
I only watch these to find out if Cathleen Madigan is still searching for MH370.

Hey Lewis if you were Jesus would you come back? I'm just saying we've all had a bad vacation. But generally we don't go back.
First
Humanity = Failure
Team Jesus
Lewis love you man but please STAY OUT OF POLITICS, that is not your venue and we really don't care what you think.
Look at the bright side you guyz are getting rid of a fugly bridge and HOPEFULLY BUILD A BEAUTIFUL NEW MODERN STYLISH BRIDGE WITH BEAUTIFUL VEIW
😂😂😂😂😂
Renamed it THE IMMIGRANT BRIDGE
