RIP George Carlin

George Carlin dead at 71.

I for one recall not only a lot of his humor, which had me rolling, but also his spot on political and social commentary. He took aim not just as the silliness of "indecency" and "obscenity" but also at religion, war, poverty, and many other important topics. He also worked on many kids projects, and I "know" him from that realm too - Thomas the train, for example. His insight and genius will be missed.
