1. Thank you for this one

Word jumpers on DU really need to listen to this one, but I doubt they ever will.

He's right about ripping the guts out of language in order to make the unthinkable almost palatable.

2. My father might have been at this one

His office was one floor below the National Press Club, and he used to take me up there all the time to hear the speakers. If I had known about this one, I think I would have flown back to the States just to have been there.

3. What's amazed me about Carlin

watching many of the available videos is he never appears to be using any teleprompter, cue cards or anything written for that matter. He also talks pretty quickly, so has a lot of material to memorize.

5. Good Bye George

I hope my mind is half that nimble at sixty two. Hell, I hope my in still nimble next month.
