    He did release a new one, The Prophet. Sure, it's material recorded in 1990, but still...

    He needs to release a new album already. I know he's still got it. His bit on Glenn Beck on the Daily Show was easily some of his best.

    Easily my favourite active comedian these days. Lewis Black is the master of turning pissed off raging into something funny for everybody.
