George Carlin

We all will miss George Carlin--he who vocalized the unspeakable, who shed light into the crevices of our culture.
The only comedian to have a routine as part of a Supreme Court case... http://www.oyez.org/cases/1970-1979/1977/1977_77_528/ which pointed out that free speech over public airwaves is not free.
And, do check out his routines that are posted on youtube.com His take on religion is spot on, imho.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeSSwKffj9o
