George Carlin Dead

Just received an email news alert from New York Times that the famed comedian, George Carlin, has passed away from heart failure this evening.  He had been just admitted into an L.A. hospital earlier this afternoon for chest pains.
 
Well, at least it was a quick one.
 
George Carlin had a knack for words.  He poked fun at everyday absurdities and pointed out the nonsense in phrases that we all thought made sense.  If you've never heard of him, watch him in this YouTube video, it's George at his best.  If you've been a fan, watch him in this YouTube video, it's George at his best.
