All the Good Ones Are Shuffling Loose

George Carlin, I will miss you. You were the only decent stand-up comedian. The only one that mattered. A genius in your own right.

What are we left with? Dane Cook? Please excuse me while I deposit my partially-digested dinner in the toilet.

We are losing all the best artists and thinkers. There are few worthwhile to step in and fill those shoes. How many have we lost these past few years? It's hard to keep track.

Please, my favorite artists, writers, actors, musicians: hold on as long as you can. Don't leave us with dreck.
