Remembering George Carlin -
Here is a great piece on Carlin's take on our American political condition. It's from Alternet.com.

It's the link that you can read as one page.
Carlin was a wonderful social commentator and comic. I grew up listening to that guy and the comics like Shelly Berman and Lenny Bruce. I think I must have lived in the best of times for comics. They made you think; they made you laugh, they made it easy for you to consider something and turn it around in your mind, like a three dimensional object. Thinking and laughing are good things. You can do both at once.
I'm gonna miss George.
