Louis C.K. on George Carlin →

Whoa. What a brushback pitch. Amazing. Any comedian with a joke like that would bury it inside of an act full of goodwill so that they wouldn’t lose the audience.

An Entrepreneur Can Come From Anywhere

jakoblodwick: American entrepreneurs are among the most welcoming social groups in the world. Anyone can join their ranks. You will be discriminated against on the basis of your ability and passion.
