TIME-10 Questions For George Carlin


http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1101040329-603219,00.html

WITH THE NEW FCC CRACKDOWN ON INDECENCY, DO YOU THINK WE ARE ENTERING A MORE REPRESSIVE AGE?
There is no question that the repressive, Christian, right-wing, business, criminal, Republican section of our country has gained the upper hand. I think the Patriot Act has been exploited to put more severe controls on our behavior into place than they ever dreamed they would have a chance to implement.

I HATE TO ASK THIS, BUT DID YOU LEARN ANYTHING ABOUT BEN AND J. LO ON
THE SET?
They were constantly having sex in front of everyone on the floor of the set, and then they would beat each other with big sticks. No, they were very nice. Ben is just what he appears to be on television — a very straightforward, outgoing sort of person. I think Jennifer felt under siege quite a bit at that time, and she had a bit of a more reserved personality.


YOU HAVE A BOOK COMING OUT IN THE FALL CALLED WHEN WILL JESUS BRING THE PORK CHOPS? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
I just like it because it offends all three big religions — the Muslims, the Jews and the Christians. Plus the vegetarians. It's a four-shot.

1. Speak the truth, George.
He brings a dead-on assessment of the modern world.

2. You people need to quit complaining and be indecent in private like all
good republicans. In case you have forgotten this is a democracy where you questioning of the government decisions on what you can look at and see at the same time is truly unamerican.

Thank you

Committee to reelect GWB the bestest, most bravest President

5. I hope you can spell FEC when I have them look into the funding you
received for posting to this site. I'm sure when they see that poor GWB only has 400 billion dollars for his reelection they will see things our way.

6. God, George Carlin is the King...
He never disappoints. I love it how he hates everyone equally and loves offending everyone.

7. another great highlight
"I find the taboos of today are religion, the flag and children — the parent-child phenomenon. This cult of the child has developed, and the cult of the parent — which are to me appalling and overdone and probably dangerous for children."

No shit!

10. lol
I suppose if it is deliberately misconjugated in English, we could do the same in Spanish...
