I've often said George Carlin was not only one of the greatest comics we've seen, he was - without a doubt - the most brilliant social commentator of the 20th Century. He'd be having a field day with the mess politics has become today. My buddy David 2, in this week's BRUTALLY HONEST commentary, talks about Carlin - and how dumbed-down we've gotten, both humor-wise and political-wise: http://brutallyhonestcolumn.blogspot.com/2012/10/week-of-10012012.html

As always, your thoughts and opinions are welcome, either here or on David's page. Comments made here will be forwarded to David.
