George Carlin [imdb] died June 22, 2008. You will be missed. I think you were vastly underappreciated in your time, and I think it’s because what you had to say too frequently struck too close to home. Rest assured- you had influence.

Rest in peace. You did your best, and didn’t fail nearly so much as you probably thought.
