Seven Words Ain't Enough

Lots of people have posted about George Carlin's passing. I'll miss the man; he and Steve Martin were the first two comedians whose albums my parents took away from me :)

Much has been made of his dark, often nihilistic humor lately, but many seem to miss that it was the humor of a disappointed idealist who knows that people are better than this, dammit, and hopes like hell that they'll remember it in time.
