George Carlin, 1937-2008 RIP

Sad news, I was a fan of his since the day in high school when my dad bought for me Parental Advisory: Explicit Lyrics. With the admonition never to let mom here it. One of my litmus tests for people became what do you think of Carlin? If they didn't I was always mildly worried that they were going to become offended at some innocuous comment of mine. If they did like him that I knew I'd be okay. Coming from a very religious area of Canada this is quite useful.
