R.I.P. George Carlin

I'm so mixed on Carlin. Listening to his work so much of it is cheap, cheap humor; in his later years it seems like he is dependent upon his reputation for laughs, as many of the jokes themselves are just, what my mom would call, "bathroom humor". Not funny unto themselves, but funny coming out of him. And then, every so often, he drops in a brilliant piece of work like this, and I'm reminded of why he is brilliant.
