Current Events: June 2008 Archives

I wish I could draw. Then I'd draw a cartoon of George Carlin approaching the Pearly Gates with the words "Oh #@$%&" escaping his lips.

May God have mercy on his soul. I fault him less for his pervasive obscenity (which was obnoxious enough) than for his blasphemy and anti-religious sentiment. But the gratuitous obscenity definitely didn't help. "I don't believe in God, and I think that it is a big scam. You can believe in God, and nobody thinks you're nuts. And there is no evidence for him at all. If you believe in UFOs, no evidence for that either, they think you are nuts. And it is the same kind of -- it's just a belief, it's a superstition. You say, OK, well there will be an invisible guy, and he will help me when I need it. Fine. I think there are little guys in things flying around, but they say, well you can't have that. If you are professor you can't say that." Well George: Now you know.
