GET YOUR HAPPY ON! - a meliorist worldview

This has been a sad month for losing great American patriots who helped peel back the media’s tendency to air disinformation. First, we lost Tim Russert, the great NBC anchor whose infectious excitement about the issues made Sunday morning politics a little more interesting.

Today, I learned of George Carlin’s death. I loved listening to George Carlin and watching him live was amazing! George Carlin told truths that people didn’t want to hear, but he always made you laugh when he shared his perspective; he was a folk doctor, whose mission was to cure social ills with his bittersweet pills. Awesome!

George Carlin, Bill Hicks, and Richard Pryor were my three favorite stand-up comedians, and now all three of them are dead. It doesn’t seem fair. At least, we still have the memories of them recorded digitally, so many future generations can enjoy the insights of those fallen comic prophets.

R.I.P. George Carlin. You will be missed.
