The world is now a much less happier place.
For those who never heard George Carlin you missed an incredible comedy act. His ability to pull humor out of the most mundane, everyday observations influenced a huge sector of comedy stars from Steven Wright to Ben Stiller.
He will be best known as a legal footnote for his 7 words you cannot say on teevee or radio (wiki entry here), but I much prefer his observations and put-downs of religion, which, in my opinion, equal those of Mark Twain, another great satirist of religion.
What a way start a Monday morning. Fuck.

R.I.P George Carlin
The man was a genius and harbored no delusions. My favorite was the "they own us...they own EVERYTHING...and nothings gonna change!" skit where he used comedy to lay out the hierarchic socio-economic structure in America.
He will be missed
I'm so old, I remember when Carlin had short hair and a skinny tie. His subversive humor will be missed
