Last night I wanted to write something, but I was at a loss for words.  Today I am no better, but I will try to say something.  Just… wow.  Carlin.  Of all the people that the Angle of Death (from now on to be known as Dick Chaney or Asshole of Death) could have taken… he fucking took George Carlin?  I want to blame the doctors too though, I know its sick and morbid and after the fact… but what the hell were they doing while he was in there dying of heart failure?  They had time to act, VADs (Ventricle Assist Device) could have been used and kept him alive, not just kept, but let him live.  They take over 40% of the heart’s function and can be used as a temporary fix, or for years, depending on the heart’s problems, without a need to replace the heart.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but this shit has been used since 94.

I just can no longer see a world where someone will speak his mind like Carlin did.  Everyone else is too afraid to, everyone else is too cowed and cowardly to say shit for fear of some bullshit government censorship or visits from black suits.  Or, having their website shut down for bullshit.

George, George fucking Carlin.  Dead at 71.  Fuck Hope.

Those two words, Fuck Hope.  I remember that political routine, and it shaped a large portion of my view of politics and politicians which was further reinforced by taking political science and language logic classes in college.  Fuck Hope indeed.  I know Paul won’t get elected this time around, and I know we have a choice between Obama and McCain.

Fuck Hope.

King George, The Conductor, The Man, The last Comic with real Balls, Protector of Free Speech.

Dead.
