I was of course referring to him being a well known and outspoken atheist.

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

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.

He had a way with cursing that would make any soldier blush!
R.I.P George Carlin!
