On the 11th anniversary of his death we celebrate the political and cultural satire of the great comedian George Carlin. We focus on the last two decades of Carlin's long career--by which time his political views had moved well left of center.
Carlin is one of the most astute critics of capitalism, imperialism, and American arrogance--and certainly the funniest. He died on June 22, 2008.
This week's sketches: 1. Religion = B.S. 2. Airlines English 3. The War on Homelessness 4. Euphemisms
