At least now he can meet that “old white guy with a beard sitting on a cloud”.

There are so many people that this world would simply be better off without. Why couldn’t it have been one of them? Carlin made the world a far more humorous and enjoyable place. The fact that he died - but Henry Kissinger, for instance, is still alive, proves that only the good die young - p\*\*\*ks live forever - and permanently obliterates any illusions of universal justice that I might have had. Hats off to you, George - you’re missed. ☹

Despite having incredibly different political views, I still found him to be hysterical.
That’s a shame.

I disagree with his religion and political philosophy but he’s somewhat funny and intelligent, something that is not too common anymore.

When I first saw this I didn’t believe it. He was one of the best comedians by far. I still have his old cassette tapes.
