So Long, Carlin.

George Carlin was an unabashed liberal. I really didn’t like his politics, but I thought his humor and observations about life really contributed to American Culture. I rarely missed one of his TV appearances on HBO or Comedy Central.

I also happen to think that his acting was often overlooked. He was really good as the Dad in Jersey Girl, and who can forget his performance as Rufus in Bill and Ted’s Excellent adventure? He also hosted the Thomas the Train series and did great voice over work in the Cars movie. Sadly, his bum ticker killed him. He will be missed by his fans.
