George Carlin (1937-2008)
"People have these amorphous things they call values they bring to the seat in the theater when they sit down. And i like to find out where their line may be and deliberately cross it, disturb them a little, make them uncomfortable, then bring them with me, across the line, and make them glad they came. That's what I do. I'm an entertainer. I'm not a doomsayer. I'm not here to preach. I don't do political tracts, but I do entertain, I do a lot of jokes, but I want you to feel a little endangered along the way."
That's a quote from George Carlin's 1996 conversation with Charlie Rose. You'll be seeing a lot of clips and tributes online and on television in the coming days about the great deconstructor of mores and language. Here's one more:

With just less than one week until the election, controversies surrounding both the Democrat and Republican camps continue to emerge. The most recent media storm has focused on the $150,000 that the Republican National Committee spent on new clothes for Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin. Even though the story has generated a mountain of negative publicity and anti-Republican attacks, I refuse to let it sway my opinion. One has to consider that both Palin and Democratic Presidential hopeful Barack Obama have spent thousands on clothing, and it shouldn’t change the direction in which the vote is cast. I mean, we live in a society based on image and possessions; if a candidate didn’t spend money on her wardrobe I can only imagine the criticism she would receive then. If one candidate donned designer outfits and the other dressed in frumpy clothes, Americans would have much less respect for the latter candidate. Plus, look at the amount of attention Sarah Palin is receiving from her wardrobe! It doesn't seem like such a bad political move because in the end, publicity is publicity. When it comes down to it, Americans should base their votes on the qualifications of the candidates, not the clothes they choose to wear. We should vote for the candidate that will protect our personal financial freedoms and the continued rights to no fax payday loans.
