Comedian George Carlin died yesterday. He was one of a vanishing breed of comics and social critics (most of whom came of age in the 1960s) that were irreverent, anti-establishment, free-thinking, and funny as hell. Lenny Bruce and Frank Zappa belonged in that that category, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert don't belong in it, Bill Maher has his moments.
Note: Please don't watch the video below if you are uncomfortable with coarse language.
