2. He has some stuff on the current regime that makes that tame

I did a quick search and couldn't find. I just remember hearing a year or more ago and he know bull shit when he sees it.

5. Yup. From the guy who takes pride in never voting....

I stopped laughing at his schtick when he said that.
A bit to facile for me. Large vocabulary, minuscule ethos.

7. Agreed. Carlin doesn't bother to vote

"Q: You don't vote now. When was the last time you voted?

A: Maybe 1980."

http://www.motherjones.com/arts/qa/1997/03/outspoken.html

from motherjones interview in 1997, and I hear he didn't bother voting in 2000 or 2004 either but can't be sure of that. Anyone know for sure ?

8. I think I heard him reiterate/update this on a Maher show - 2004? 2005?

I don't even care if it's true or not - saying to the kids "voting isn't cool" is about as useful as saying: let them roll us over who cares?
Whenever I see this attitude from a rich entertainer I stop listening to whatever else they think they have to say.
