This June we lost George Carlin. He was only 71. We've had him often on our little Sunday get togethers, so on this last Freethinker Sermonette of the year of his death, why not again? You've seen it. Many times. Classics are forever. Joe Bless you, George:

George Carlin. A comedian of the highest caliber. Because he got it right.
An old friend turned me on to Carlin in the early seventies. His name was Eddie Green and he was, in manor and presence, very much like Carlin.
Eddie had a lot of friends because he was a friend, treated all people equitably and was not ashamed to love.
Eddie was killed by a drunk driver nearly twenty years ago. I miss his to this day.
Whenever I hear Carlin, I hear Eddie.
Thank you George, and thank you Eddie. I love you and miss you. And I will quote and emulate you both all my days. Because I want to; and because both of you were just so damned funny. And so damned right.
And thank you, revere. Happy Monkey.
Carlin was a brilliant comedian and social critic.
