George Carlin (1937-2008)

I did not want to add to the myriad blog entries the day after George's death. I was saddened by his passing and watched countless videos of his shows, from the early days in the 1960s to his latest work. He was the greatest, and probably one of a kind.

In parting I want to quote one of his sayings:

Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time!

But He loves you!

He was right as always.

We'll miss you George.
