George Carlin: "America Is Tyranny"
I love Carlin; he's my favorite comedian. But in this one, he's spot-on as always and even more overtly political than I ever remember seeing him. He sounds like a DUer!

Everything else I've ever seen from him is brilliant, though. Didn't mean to hijack your thread btw :P.

Recommended!

5. Thanks for the link.
I just watched it. I can see why you say that, but at the same time I thought he made some good points in there too.
