1. Carlin poked fun at power, not just pugs.

"They call it the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it." "They own you." "It's a big club, and you're just not in it."

2. Great line. I heard a Kurt Vonnegut quote on NPR

yesterday. From Cat's Cradle I think. An alien being summed up the totality of Human religion something like this, "Before you kill somebody, you must be absolutely sure he's not well connected."

4. He kept telling us from the mid-60's until shortly before his death.

Always a :kick: & R for George.

5. What really happened to George Carlin?

He surely pissed off many powerful people and his performances became more cutting as he aged. Especially this excerpt http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acLW1vFO-2Q

In this day and age of too many convenient suicides or accidents (DC Madame, etc) and a media that refuses to get involved or have a modicum of investigatory cynicism, you have to wonder what really happened to Carlin. Yeah yeah we know he had a heart attack from a preexisting condition. :tinfoilhat:

6. More true than funny but I enjoyed it anyway.
