Lay Theism

Legendary comedian George Carlin passed away Sunday night at the age of 71. I owned many of the original LPs that George cut back in the 70s and 80s… and I must say, as funny as those were, I really was impressed by his recent comeback. He had become much more outspoken about politics and religion, and the best part was that he forced you to think. He had not forgotten the value of a cheap laugh, but he also knew the power of intellect.

Incredibly, I had blogged about George just a few days ago. Wonder what would happen if I blogged about Glenn Beck? Hey, I just did!

George, you will be missed.

Look for the HBO George Carlin marathon on June 25-27.

George Carlin is a very bright guy…

This is so good, I can’t stand it.

This post is a little more coarse than my usual fare, but several links I have run across recently I feel compelled to group together and share.  Please to enjoy (or click here and enjoy a piping hot mug of STFU):

• ScienceBlog on George Carlin and his most recent act.
• One of George’s previous efforts (well done).
• OK, and just for posterity (and because it’s so damn good). 
• Careful about giving away your rights.
• Or this is where we may end up.
• Some really, really good Easter statistics.
• Did Jesus Exist?  Does it matter?

Really late here – I gotta get some sleep. 

Take care… oh, and question everything!
