Rest In Peace - George Carlin - 71
oldfart:
I've been a fan since the days of the Hippy Dippy Weatherman. I loved his love of the language and his attitude about our society. We were blessed to have him. Screw rest in peace. Give 'em hell George!
mouser:
how about some youtube videos for people who aren't familiar with his sharp wit:

one of the things i admired about him is that unlike many comedians who started out with a biting raw angry approach and then got really tame and safe as they get more famous and wanted to break into mainstream.. carlin went the opposite direction -- from a normal comedian to someone who got angry when he saw bullshit and tried to expose it with humour.
kartal:
Probably he was the only person who was making some real sense in northern america.
Some of my favorites

mouser:
before anyone starts to reply -- no politics please.. let's keep this on carlin.
if you didn't agree with his politics you probably also didn't find him funny, but we might all agree it's nice to hear someone speaking his mind in an age where people often have to choose their words so carefully.
kartal:
I agree, just watch-listen him and make up your mind.
