Probably my favorite comedian, George Carlin died Sunday. According to CNN:
Carlin was best known for his routine “Seven Words You Can Never Say On Television,” which appeared on 1972’s “Class Clown” album.
When Carlin uttered all seven at a show in Milwaukee in 1972, he was arrested for disturbing the peace, the AP reported. The comedy sketch prompted a landmark indecency case after WBAI-FM radio aired it in 1973.
I watched an HBO special that Carlin did a few years ago where he did a routine on the seven words. It was hilarious. But that’s not my favorite Carlin routine. Below the fold is a video of Carlin talking about it. Warning: not safe for work.
You needn’t be a historian or a political scientist to see the Bigger Dick Foreign Policy Theory at work. It goes like this: ‘What? They have bigger dicks? Bomb them!’

So as far as I’m concerned, that whole thing in the Persian Gulf was nothing more than one big dick-waving cockfight.
You are going to be missed, George.
