    Lenny Bruce receives pardon in New York, first posthumous pardon ever in NY: pardon me - I'm dead!

    The real Lenny Bruce...

    Lenny Bruce = freedom to think, freedom to say what you think.

    Thanks for posting that, coolblue.

    I thought I knew Lenny Bruce's story, but one thing shocked me about that article - a SIX MONTH obscenity trial?? How the heck do you get that?! 99% of murder trials are shorter than that! Who knows, maybe the jury deliberated for five and a half months, sequestered away laughing themselves silly listening to his shows...that's unbelievable. Now I want to go find out how on earth the prosecution managed to fill out six whole months of trial...??!!
