George Carlin is up in Heaven Now!

Oh, no, we lost a good one: George Carlin, May 12, 1937 - June 22, 2008.

As Curt Vonnegut would put it humorously , "he's up in heaven now!"

We will miss George Carlin's sharp wit. He knew where the line was so he crossed it often and with abandon. What I found appealing in his humor was that he made lots of crazy sense to me!

The routine he did on religion was one of my favorites and a good example of his take on people's beliefs & behavior. Try to seriously argue with what he's saying and you most likely can't, because you know he's right! I'm glad that he had a long life where he seemed to be having fun. It's a great thing to find something you like and that you're good at it... If you can earn a living from it, all the better.

Thanks for the laughter and the intelligent wit, George!

I like that video too. GC was a genius. A little prickly at times, but always good. We'll miss him.

George Carlin took up where the late Al Capp left off,pricking pretention.His best stuff was exposing those unctious pricks who call themselves televangelists.
George and Tim Russert within a month.Two good irish rascals.How will I ever persevere.
