George Carlin (1937-2008)

If you've never heard of him, then you have no idea what you missed out on. George Carlin was an amazing man. Like most people my age I first saw him in Kevin Smith's Dogma and it threw me into a crazy world where curse words became battle cries for free speech. In fact, the last time I saw him speak about anything was when I recently watched a documentary about the 'F word' (and he would want me to link that).

People who are both unapologetic and right at the same time are unbelievably rare. George Carlin was one of them. Rest in peace, Cardinal Ignatius Glick. You were one of my favorites.
