Man, this day just keeps getting suckier. I'll skip the first reason it started off sucky, and go to the second: Georg Carlin died yesterday evening. The acerbic comic, best known for his angry, oft-times raunchy but hilarious stand up routines, checked into St. John's Hospital in Santa Monica last night due to heart pains and later died of a heart attack Carlin suffered from a history of heart problems and sadly died at the age of 71. My favorite act of George's was his "Stuff" routine. It's funny, because it's true. Even while doing comedy, George had a brilliant way of making social commentary about all the things that are truly f*cked up about humans. He will be truly missed. RIP George.
