Holy cow: Scared silly (6)

How our government works: it doesn't.
-- Lewis Black, Nothing's Sacred


In my aforementioned comedy downloading extravaganza, I got a couple titles by Lewis Black, an American comedian first known to me and still probably best known for his recurrent "Back in Black" segment on the Daily Show.

As I burned the files to CD, I was surprised that the album titled Nothing's Sacred took so much space and had directories suggesting so many discs (5). When the files came up, I realized that this was not a comedy album, but a five disc audiobook of him reading his 2005 autobiography. It's not exactly what I had in mind, but it's still interesting and funny in some spots. When it ends, I'll get to hear the Grammy-nominated Carnegie Hall Performance, which I expect will be more my speed.
