George Carlin, You Will Be Missed

There has never been a comic quite like George Carlin. He was blunt, honest and spoke truth to power every time he got up to the microphone. From the 1970s to 2008, he made people laugh by bringing up every uncomfortable thing in American society. Puritanism was his enemy as much as stupidity (one in the same I suppose) and intelligence and action his friend. He knew the system we live in and wasn't afraid to tell us about the intricate world around us, having us in stitches all the way. I for one will certainly miss you and your brilliant comedic genius.
