This content was published June 23, 2008. George Denis Patrick Carlin died June 22, 2008. … A few months ago, I put a post up about George Carlin. “At this point, a look at wikipedia is in order. I was wondering if Mr. C was alive, or if I somehow missed something.”

I was only a marginal fan of Mr. Carlin, but I admire a man who succeeds. The fact that he was a success, and could hang on to his integrity, is sweet. With his lifestyle, making 71 is pretty good.

As for wondering if I missed something, I do that all the time. Through a bit of internet curiosity last night, I found the story the story of the arrest of Larry Sinclair. Mr. Sinclair made his clebrity with the dubious claim of an affair with BHO. He rented a room at the National Press Club to talk about himself, and left in handcuffs. A man with outstanding warrants should not be seeking publicity. Even if nature made his attorney wear a kilt. George Carlin was a satirist, among other things. I doubt he could make up anything like the Larry Sinclair story.

Here is the original, posted March 16, 2008. … Is George Carlin really that funny? I saw a link to a routine about euphemisms at ATL Malcontent. I suspect that Malcontent is a euphemism.

So, I have too much time, and I click on the link. Mr. C makes a bunch of obvious jokes about the evasion procedures we conduct with the King’s english. … One night, Lenny Bruce was performing in Chicago. The police decided to review the show. Mr. Bruce was taken prisoner by the fuzz. The authorities decided to make the audience members show ID to get out, and one man loudly objected, and was arrested. The man was George Carlin.

Mr. C began to be popular about the time I was about to graduate from High School. I heard the album about the Seven Words you cannot say on television once, which is enough. They all refer to body parts and body functions, and it does say something about our culture that these words are demonized like they are.

At this point, a look at wikipedia is in order. I was wondering if Mr. C was alive, or if I somehow missed something. He is from New York. His real name is Carlin. He was the first guest host on Saturday Night Live. In 1961, he married Brenda Hosbrook. The couple was together until her death in 1997. … Pictures today are from The Library of Congress. Jack Delano took the social media picture in September 1940. “Farm woman holding one of her children in submarginal farm area of Rumsey Hill, near Erin, New York” ©Luther Mckinnon 2026 · selah
