Damn. Last year we lost Kurt Vonnegut, and now we’ve lost George Carlin. Two darkly hilarious guys who despite their cynicism still made us (or, at least, me) laugh out loud at the human condition.
I never subscribed to the growing bitterness that Carlin showed as he aged (I agree with Terry Heaton that his best work was earlier in his career), but I still loved his insightful, biting humor. You can count me among those who will miss the dirty old bastard.
PS: Check out Mashable’s video obituary for a smattering of Carlin’s humor.
