George Carlin Dies at 71

June 23rd, 2008 | View Comments |

I just read that George Carlin died from heart failure yesterday.  Carlin’s comedy and social commentary had a huge impact on my life.  Other than watching Monty Python during my adolescence, Carlin’s humor and views made me laugh more than anything.  I don’t think I go through a day without relating something going on in my life to a George Carlin comedy routine.  So young, too.  Very sad.
