Hello All,

Funny man George Carlin died last night from heart failure, he was 71.

I always thought he was funny even though he pushed his comedy to the limit. He made people laugh while also making them think.

I am sure he will be missed by many...

Carlin was MORE than funny, he was a philosopher of our social morals and our silly belief that if we don't cuss we are somehow holy! Such a wonderful, natural wit he had for the silliness that we humans call life. It's sad in a way that we can't even relate some of his funniest comments on American life because of our fear of language. But if you ever get a chance to hear his routine on the seven words you can't say on TV, do it.
Carlin and Prior were two of the most honest commentators on America that ever lived. He will be missed!

In his later uears he verged on bitterness, which I didn't like to see, but I did love his wit and cynicism.
