When I woke up this morning, I heard George Carlin talk about language on NPR. What's wrong with using simple, direct and honest language? He wonders. "It's getting so bad that any day now I expect to hear a rape victim described as an 'unwilling sperm recipient'!" [6:55]

Thanks for bringing back one of my favorite comedians. I grew up with this hero and remember the intellectual laughter he gave me during my high school and college years.

Carlin was a fucking master at making a complicated point using clear simple language.
