Four months before he died, George Carlin (1937-2008) made one final live appearance in his It's Bad for Ya HBO special. On this program, he offered up his take on the state of the nation, including his observation that Americans don't really have any rights.

Makes sense to me.
George is no longer with us yet Jay Leno and Dane Cook still walk the face of the Earth. That doesn't sound like the correct comedy karma.
Hi Dutch, thanks for your comment. Yes, I agree: the comedy karma is definitely out of whack.
And how to account for the fact that Bill Hicks died young and yet the Pig Man, Rush Limbaugh continues to pollute the public airwaves?
Carlin was always brilliant, but in his later life he dropped all pretense of "making nice" with idiots and assholes. I'm about there myself, to the point where the Kumbaya Club down at the weekly local Peace Protest cringes when they see me coming - they know I'm gonna head across the street and tell the Tea Bagger "counter-protesters" that they're idiots.
And I'll PROVE IT with a few simple questions, the answers to which none of them will know.
It's like taking poisoned candy from a screaming baby.
