I flipped on the news this morning, and along with truckloads of bad news from the Middle East, massive layoffs in Ontario, and the rising price of gas, I was devastated to learn that “America’s Fastest Rising Fool(e)” George Carlin had died. The brilliant standup comedian and social satirist was famous for his wit, pointed views on… well everything, and became infamous for his “Seven Dirty Words” sketch (WARNING NSFW !!!). He was the first host of Saturday Night Live, a Catholic Cardinal in Dogma (1999) and the “Excellent” Rufus from the Bill ‘n Ted movies.
