RIP George Carlin

Comedian and actor George Carlin passed away yesterday in California from heart failure.  He was 71 years old.  For further details, read the Yahoo News story...

I won't even attempt to summarize Carlin's career or his impact on comedy.  The pre-written obits from the wire services have pretty much accomplished this.  All I can really say is... George Carlin, in his prime, was a funny motherfucker.  One of the funniest.

And I only add the qualifier "in his prime" because after the death of his wife in 1997, the tone of his act changed.  Understandably, he got bitter and mean, and it clearly came through in his stand up routines.  Sure he could be mean in his earlier shows, but it was a playful meanness.

His 1992 HBO special Jammin' in New York, to me, was the pinnacle of Carlin's stand-up act.  My favorite bit he ever did came from that show, and I'm linking to it below.  Who knows how long it'll stay online but enjoy it now while you can.  The video eventually starts to go out of sync, but you can just listen to it and you'll get it all just fine.

The ABC25 News Blooper Reel (Winter 1999) - Part 1

I know you've waited a long time for this.  And I'm sorry that it took so long.

I had much more ambitious plans for the final installment of the official ABC25 blooper reels, but I kept putting it off and putting it off, and so I decided to go ahead and get it out there as-is.

I still have more material that I could use later, if I get creative.

Pockets of Sanity Video Podcast 008 - John McCain... oh forget it. Boobies!

This is as political as I'll ever get on the podcast, and I got so bored listening to it again that I had to just start inserting boobie pictures into the video feed to stay awake.

Still, I expect a firestorm of controversy to surround my political comments, so flame on MFers.

Pockets of Sanity Podcast 008 - John McCain Is Not a Cylon

A discussion about the movies veers sharply into political territory for the first and only time on the show.  A caller wants to know what the deal is with John McCain, and it's all over after that.
