RIP...
 from the Associated Press: LOS ANGELES (AP) -- George Carlin, the dean of counterculture comedians whose biting insights on life and language were immortalized in his "Seven Words You Can Never Say On TV" routine, died of heart failure Sunday. He was 71. Carlin, who had a history of heart trouble, went into St. John's Health Center in Santa Monica on Sunday afternoon complaining of chest pain and died later that evening, said his publicist, Jeff Abraham. He had performed as recently as last weekend at the Orleans Casino and Hotel in Las Vegas. "He was a genius and I will miss him dearly," Jack Burns, who was the other half of a comedy duo with Carlin in the early 1960s, told The Associated Press.

Saw him in the late 80's at the Stanley Theatre in Utica, unfortunately it was a night after partying and believe it or not I was dozing off during his performance.

RIP to a truly funny guy. I enjoyed his style of humor, which was geared towards a certain demographic. Always enjoyed hearing his 'take' on issues. Sad news of his passing...

RIP George.
To be honest, I didn't think he was very funny. Then again, I never laughed at Bob Hope either.

One of my favorite lines was "I dont no why people wonder if the glass half full or half empty....the glass is just too damn big!" That just epitomized the way he looked at the world, really a special person.

He was a funny funny man and he will be missed. My favorite line from him was "Why do they call it disposable douche?, who would want to keep it in the first place?!"

If you can't beat them, arrange to have them beaten.
Really clever man. I liked the weather man stuff also.

i thought he was the best, i never laughed harder than at some of his material.
his observational humor was great although i could have done without his political rants which i thought were off base. i could really indentify with his cynicism and his take on religion.
