George Carlin, R.I.P.

The Seven Words Words You Can Never Say On Television will always hold a special place in my heart. But George Carlin, who died on Sunday at 71, keeps it clean here. In his own words, he was "a diversified postmodern multicultural deconstructionist, New Wave but old-school, behind the 8 ball but ahead of the curve, a street-wise smart bomb, out of rehab and in denial." You couldn't shut him up, or dumb him down.
