Another sad passing: George Carlin

I was sad to hear this morning that comedian George Carlin passed away Sunday night. When I was in middle school, my father would let me watch Carlin on HBO with him -- providing I didn't tell my mother! I loved his candid, sometimes obscenely so, humor, and the famous seven words you can't say on TV was one of our favorites. For several years now I've been saying to Tom that we ought to get tickets to see one of his shows; alas, now it's too late.

It's only appropriate to tag this with "rants".......
