George Carlin, Dead at 71.
Personally, my favorite role was Cardinel Glick.
Thanks, George. You made me laugh.

About Me
- Janiece
- I am a Hot Chick living in Parker, CO with my fabulous family. We're currently without a dog since we lost our beloved Boogie the Giant Schnauzer. I'm a U.S. Navy vet, and I currently work as a Principal Systems Engineer in the Military Industrial Complex, specializing in VoIP and Next Generation 9-1-1 technologies. I care about science, the U.S. Constitution and the military. I'm a tax and spend liberal in a largely red county, but I try not to be stabby about it. I travel A LOT, I aspire to run faster than I do, and I donate knitted cold weather gear to various charities. Stupidity, cupidity and wanton assholery piss me off, and I'm more than a little soft when it comes to dogs and those who serve others. I blog about whatever I feel like. I use foul language, so if that sort of thing offends you, feel free to fuck off now - if I'm unwilling to clean up my language for my fabulous Great Auntie Margie, I'm unlikely to do so for you. Newcomers are welcome here, especially those who disagree with me, but trolling and spamming will be met with the Shovel of Doom™.

Oh, how I love that movie, and Carlin's role in it.
RIP, George. While critical thinking was always cool, you made it even moreso. For that, I am grateful.
Carol Elaine, me too.
In his last HBO special, I laughed out loud when he said he discarded religion when he reached the age of reason as a toddler.
Hehe.
He was so offensive. And I loved that about him.
I loved this guy.
What was so great about him, was the way he remained relevent. I mean, a sixty something old guy cracking the "millenials" up? Bob Hope was a great comedian and a wonderful man, but I never found his routines to be all that funny, a result of my generation, I think. Nobody ever had that problem with George.
Rock on, man. ;)
"Cardinal Glick: Fill them pews, people, that's the key. Grab the little ones as well. Hook 'em while they're young.
Rufus: Kind of like the tobacco industry?
Cardinal Glick: Christ, if only we had their numbers."
Janiece, what I loved about him wasn't just that he was offensive, but that he wasn't offensive just for the sake of being offensive. He had a valid point to make, he made it well and that's what offended people.
More Dogma quotes:
Cardinal Glick: Christ didn't come to Earth to give us the willies... He came to help us out. He was a booster.

Rufus: I'm telling you, man, this ceremony is a big mistake.
Cardinal Glick: The Catholic Church does not make mistakes.
Rufus: Please. What about the Church's silent consent to the slave trade?
Bethany: And its platform of noninvolvement during the Holocaust?
Cardinal Glick: All right, mistakes were made.
