George Carlin’s (libertarian) successor
A great comedian died yesterday, one that rallied against mysticism for reason, against government censorship for free expression.
Of course, he spewed a lot of irrational anti-business rhetoric as well, but at the very least my college English professor was incorrect about him authoring that platitude-of-platitudes, the Paradox of our Times. George Carlin may have been economically misguided, but he wasn’t trite.
Anyways, on my way to work today, I had my Zune on shuffle - take that Apple! - and came across a sweet bit from comedian Doug Stanhope. Totally reminded me of George Carlin sans, of course, the lefty political bent.
