Terrible shame. Carlin was one of the funniest entertainers and an incredibly well-spoken and honest human being.

"I say 'fuck you, I'm getting in the plane'...Evil Knievel can get on the plane."

This just in: The Westboro Baptist Church plans on picketing George Carlin's funeral.

To be completely honest, I wouldn't be surprised if this is the first funeral they picket where someone will eventually end up dead from that pissant, extremist organization. Hell, if I had the cash, and the willingness to go to jail for a couple days, (let's face it, if anyone actually KILLED any of these pricks from WBC, they'd be considered a hero) I'd be all for a gigantic beatdown on those filthy animals.

George Carlin was pretty awesome, but I think the WBC has touched on more provocative subjects. Like you know, telling the family of Army Rangers that their soldiers are roasting like fags. Seems to me that you'd be more likely to get kilt doing that.
