Carlin really really gets it!!!! Hits it out of the park!:party:

1. "It's called the American Dream..."

"...because you've got to be asleep to believe it."

[SHRED]

2. thanks!!

[Elidor]

3. A great monologue

And very depressing. Carlin's relentless pessimism is so well-reasoned that the mind recoils in horror.

Humans, or at least the American species, are the dumbest fucking animals in the world.

[Spiffarino]

23. I found optimism in his pessimism

Carlin gets more than just the truth about who owns America. He understands that Americans can't stand to be told they can't.

Keep pushing the buttons, George. You are the 21st century's potty-mouthed Will Rogers.

4. Thanks for posting

Carlin hits the mark so many times. I wonder if there were any republicans in the audience who realized their $80,000 a year doesn't make them one of the rich club members.

5. vote this to the greatest page please

before it falls off the pageO8)

[johnnie]

12. Done

[newscott]

6. That was righteous

[Divernan]

7. This NEEDS to be on the greatest page - please K&R ! ! !

Re his comments about the Owners of this country not wanting ordinary Americans to be educated enough to be capable of intelligent, critical thinking - quite, quite, true. I sometimes despair of DUers who clog up potentially great threads with dozens of badda-bing,vacuous, one line replies, instead of thoughtful responses. I throw in some LOL or RAOTFLMAO once in awhile, but I usually try to add some thing with a little substance to the discussion.

8. "It's a big club and you ain't in it, you and I ain't in it"

That's right! We ain't!

[progressoid]

9. Way to go George!

[trof]

10. K&R. Just sent to all my Dem friends. My e-mail message:

I'm probably going to regret sending this out.
I sure don't want to alienate any of my progressive friends.

Let me caution you all:
THIS VIDEO CONTAINS STRONG LANGUAGE.
Well, it IS George Carlin, after all.
Ol' George doesn't pull his punches.

If you are easily offended by words you probably don't use in everyday conversation, just go ahead and delete this right now.
PLEASE.
If you do watch it, you should probably get the kids out of the room first.
Better yet, wait until they're sound asleep tonight.
You may not even want to watch it in mixed company.

Having given all these caveats and disclaimers, I gotta say that Carlin just NAILS it.
You have been warned.
Enter at your own risk:

And please don't shoot the messenger.
Thank you.

George Carlin always cuts to the chase - and the quick!

[civildisoBDence]

19. The Decline of the American Empire...the first empire brought down by

Entertainment. We're entertaining the new generation to death with cultural pablum.

If only Carlin were making tens of millions and Britney, Jessica, Justin and Madonna were scraping out a living in nightclubs.

I love what he says about 17 countries graduating more scientists than the US. Who the fuck needs science when you have ideology? (Global warming? What global warming?)

I ain't no George Carlin, but WTF
