A fitting tribute

It was sad news this week that George Carlin died. Of course, it was also an amazing feat he pulled off living 71 years on his lifestyle.

Still... he made sense to me; like so many comedians who are double agents for truth and logic in a world of lies and random chaos. His influence on others is clear. Notably, I've always found Stephen Colbert's regular segment "The Word" Carlin-esque. Suitably and ingeniously, "Colbert's Tuesday "The Word" was on Carlin's "The 7 words you can't say on TV" And I have to think, Carlin would be proud, and laughing his ass off as well.
