George Carlin would be so proud
to finally witness Americans standing up against the corporate/fascist system.

RIP to the man.

2. RIP indeed
I remember standing in line at the polls fall 2004 with a copy of "When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops?" for entertainment. Amazing man.

8. Are you kissing me, or kissing me off?

:D

It's interesting to me, because i've been reading the book this summer, and that one stayed with me. I reread some of his more challenging pieces and they stay with me for a long time.

He definitely earned that Mark Twain award. And god damn him for dying on us too soon. It was a big year for losing comic humans that year he died. Why couldn't he go to Cheney's doctor?

9. Isn't there a third choice?
:) I was acknowledging the point that great people
do not always say what we want or expect them to say
just because we have told them they are great.
No idols, no gurus, watch the parking meters.
