“Just think, right now as you read this, some guy somewhere is gettin’ ready to hang himself.” – George Carlin
Yes folks, yesterday the greatest comedian in American history died at the age of 71.
George Carlin was not only a pioneer in free speech, but he is makes some very unfunny things funny.
I could sit here and expound upon his numerous achievements and the scope and breadth of his career, but I would rather let the make speak for himself.
“The owners of this country know the truth: It’s called the American dream because you have to be asleep to believe it.”
“Let’s suppose we all just materialized on Earth and there was a bunch of potatoes on the ground, okay? There’s just six of us. Only six humans. We come into a clearing and there’s potatoes on the ground. Now, my instinct would be, let’s everybody get some potatoes. “Everybody got a potato? Joey didn’t get a potato! He’s small, he can’t hold as many potatoes. Give Joey some of your potatoes.” “No, these are my potatoes!” That’s the Republicans. “I collected more of them, I got a bigger pile of potatoes, they’re mine. If you want some of them, you’re going to have to give me something.” “But look at Joey, he’s only got a couple, they won’t last two days.” That’s the fuckin’ difference! And I’m more inclined to want to share and even out,” – George Carlin
I can’t help but think that Mr. Carlin would mock my tiny tribute, but that’s okay. Bye, George ya cocking sucking, piece of shit, mother fucking asshole. You will be missed.
