    Just read this on CNN. Sad. I always liked him. My first thought on seeing he had died was "I wonder if hes in deep shit, or not."
    I was of course referring to him being a well known and outspoken atheist.

    I met him once, he seemed like a genuinely nice guy.

    RIP George, I will use an extra 7 dirty words today, in your honor.

    I liked him up until I heard one of his acts. His opinion of children totally changed my views of him.

    People die. George is dead. Meh.

    The clip I posted drags a bit, but within the last minute or less of the clip, he brings the routine around to a really fine point about how we parents mess with kids too much and screw them up. You're taking satire too literally.

    But if you really wanna get mad at a comedian's take on breeders, check out Doug Stanhope's material.

    BY THE WAY: XM Radio channel 150 is doing a tribute to Carlin on Wednesday. Should be good.

    Well, I will admit that I didn't hear it through to the end. There are too many other things to listen to than some lonely old man piping off.

    Seriously, listen. He's not attacking the children. He's attacking the parents and government.
    and the F*** the Children... LMAO
    Time to start playing his albums again. I have most of them.

    My wife and I saw George live in Las Vegas, then met him afterward. He was a super-intelligent man and funny as they come.

    He had a way with cursing that would make any soldier blush!

    R.I.P George Carlin!
