I'm glad it was you, King, who did the honors for Mr Carlin. The only other Salon writer who could have done him justice is Gary Kamiya, and he's probably asleep at the moment.
When I heard the news a little earlier, I hollered NO! and cried for a little bit. I learned about George Carlin's genius from my mom, and so hearing that we'd lost him just reopened the wound that was losing mom 3 years ago. I know, it sounds weird, but there ya go. It even made me feel better to see that George was still around when he was on Countdown with Keith Olbermann recently, like a reminder of my mom and what made her laugh.
