Mort Sahl - seen by many as the father of modern standup comedy - is still performing his often satirical routines even though he is now 83 years old. That's good to know. He also seems to be a much more rounded and complex figure than most younger comics. He clearly isn't consumed by hatred and anger, and doesn't have a drug habit. He also pokes fun at both sides of politics - rather than just taking aim at Republicans.

Here's an article about a recent gig of his at the Napa Valley Opera House.
