The World Is a Sadder Place Today....

LOS ANGELES, Calif. (AP) - George Carlin, the dean of counterculture comedians whose biting insights on life and language were immortalized in his "Seven Words You Can Never Say On TV" routine, died of heart failure Sunday. He was 71.
Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.

George Carlin and Sam Kinison were two of the funniest men of our generation. They could literally cause me to laugh until my stomach ached.

Rest in peace, George.

We have his twin brother, I'm delighted to say, but those of a delicate nature should give this a miss.
To our American friends may I introduce Billy Connely!

He is a funny bastard.
