Could a Mod merge this with the N&P thread, or vice versa.

To be fair to the old mans legacy, I don't think he wanted to see it fixed, so much as burned and scattered to the winds to be forgotten forever.Einhander Sn0m4n wrote:http://youtube.com/watch?v=oI5EY5kqiBU
Let's honor George by FIXING THIS FUCKING COUNTRY!
It is a strange feeling to see someone with so much distant influence on your life suddenly disappear.

Thanks for the memories George. When I read the news of his death, the first words out of my mouth was Fuck.

He was one of my gurus. RIP George."In the Bullshit Department, a businessman can't hold a candle to a clergyman. 'Cause I gotta tell you the truth, folks. When it comes to bullshit, big-time, major league bullshit, you have to stand in awe of the all-time champion of false promises and exaggerated claims: religion. No contest. No contest. Religion. Religion easily has the greatest bullshit story ever told.
Think about it. Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man -- living in the sky -- who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time!
But He loves you.
He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs money! He's all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can't handle money! Religion takes in billions of dollars, they pay no taxes, and they always need a little more. Now, you talk about a good bullshit story. Holy Shit!

Metatwaddle and I went to see him live last year in Atlantic City. He was developing a new act (there was an HBO special in the works), and so occasionally he had to go to his notes. What struck me is even with that handicap, his timing and delivery were perfect. Consummate professional.

Heard about it this morning. I can't say I'm surprised. The last comedy special I saw him do, well, I couldn't help but think that he wasn't long for this world.
Still it's a damn shame...

It is a sad day when America loses one of its truly great and gifted comedians.
PS. I see that none of the major news outlets mention his outspoken opposition to religion in their various eulogies. They always mention his "edgy" comedy only with respect to his use of profanity.
