How come when it's us it's an abortion and when it's a chicken
it's an omelet? Are we so much better than chickens all of a sudden?"

UH.....yeah, we are. And always were...not "all of a sudden."

Are there any chickens where you are now?

who exactly is "us"?

Apparently not you. You're impervious to thought-provoking comedy. Congrats. Feel free to now label Carlin an "elitist." 

   Carlin is known for his 'observational humor'.  Jerry Seinfeld does that but his comedy is non-committal and non-confrontational.  Most 'country' humor is observational and if you like it.... it might mean your a redneck.  But Carlin's genius was his originality combined with a persona and delivery that all meshed together into a routine that could keep you guessing as to what was next thereby catching the audience by surprise.

Former President Jimmy Carter again, recently, restated his long held position that abortion is not OK. The Dalai Lama has clearly expressed that abortion is the premeditated decision to take the life of a living being. In other words, Katie, it's killing.

You and Carlin still yucking it up?

I'll confess, the first thing that jumped to mind when i heard George Carlin had died was,

"Great, now people who aren't witty and have no chance of being funny by themselves throughout the nation will no longer be able get new material to try to appear funny with."

I did not like Carlin, i didn't think he was especially funny. Cranky whiner isn't funny. Comparison of humankind to chickens isn't funny. George Carlin daily quote calandars aren't funny (just plain irritating).

Death comes to all eventually, but i don't the country suffered any great loss with the death of this bitter old man. Not compared to, say, 95% of the population.

But what do I know?  I am bitter and cling to my religion and guns.

Here's another question I have: How come when it's us it's an abortion and when it's a chicken it's an omelet?

Uh, that's easy. I didn't need 8 years of Sunday School to answer this one.

Chickens were not created in the image of God. We were. In fact, that is precisely why I'm sinning every time I call someone a fool.

...perhaps CBS' ratings wouldn't be circling at an ever-increasing rate as they sink ever closer to the bottom of the loo.

The truth is insensitive. - Neal Boortz

During a book signing last year at Borders, George Carlin gave an impromptu interview about  9/11. He was asked by one of the people waiting in line for Mr. Carlin to sign his book what he thought about the 9/11 truth movement and the interruption by the truthers of Bill Maher’s show.  Carlin appeared to have doubts about the official version of what happened on 9/11 by stating: "I always question the received reality" and "The consensus reality is often intentionally misleading.”

You be the judge. Here is the link to the video of this brief interview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pow5_UYKaJ8

Which political party is invested in our defeat in Iraq?

You want some really good comedy? Check out Eddie Izzard. He's a British transvestite (but don't worry, he's straight) and I have never laughed as hard as when I watched him.

And he makes some hilarious insights about history and the British Empire and things like that. But my all-time favorite is his bit about the Death Star Canteen:

"How come when it's us it's an abortion and when it's a chicken it's an omelet?"

How come when it's us it's "hanged, drawn and quartered" and when it's a chicken it's a BBQ half-chicken?  Duh.  And this supposedly made us "think"?  WTF.

And Katie made us think that showing the world the inside of her ass is okay! I'm sure George would laugh at that joke.

I heard there might be an actors strike. Anyone up for a reality show called Abortion? It can show just how wonderful they are and how joyous the females feel after their poor choice.  

Carlin was a filthy little maggot. He couldn't STAND it that there were bounds of public decency, that there were a very few dirty words you couldn't say on the air. He worked tirelessly to destroy those boundaries. So we have him partly to thank for the sewer that runs over the airwaves today.
I heard a few of his comments about religion a couple of days ago -- the remarks of a guttersnipe. He may have been funny, but his influence on this country was entirely destructive. Like most of our "funny" men and women today, he had a grudge against this society and a complete lack of morals or character. He was a nasty little burrowing mole, undermining the principles and character of our populace country -- and he was pretty successful at it.

"Here's another question I have: How come when it's us it's an abortion
and when it's a chicken it's an omelet? Are we so much better than
chickens all of a sudden?"

And here's your answer: It’s actually the other way around. The Chickens are better than us as the Chickens actually try to raise ALL of their young and they don't abandon them while they’re still a fetus (we call that an abortion), while, on the other hand, we Humans have to STEAL the eggs (aka a Chicken fetus) in order to make that omelet for our breakfast. When's the last time you saw a Chicken stealing a Human fetus in order to make their breakfast? Never! So, you tell me, who's better, the Chicken or the Man?
