A dose of George Carlin

[Sooner75]

This came my way. I thought I'd share it.


Comedy legend George Carlin on Cows, Constitution, Commandments

COWS
Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that our government can track a cow born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she sleeps in the state of Washington and they tracked her calves to their stalls. But they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around our country. Maybe we should give them all a cow.

CONSTITUTION
They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq. Why don't we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys, it's worked for over 200 years and we're not using it anymore.

TEN COMMANDMENTS
The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments in a Courthouse? You cannot post "Thou Shalt Not Steal," "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery" and
"Thou Shall Not Lie" in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians! It creates a hostile work environment!

And Last but not least.....
George Carlin said it best about Martha Stewart "Boy, I feel a lot safer now that she's behind bars. O.J. Simpson and Kobe Bryant are still walking around; Osama Bin Laden too, but they take the one woman in America willing to cook, clean, and work in the yard and haul her ass off to jail."

4. Yeah, they really don't ring true to me either

Does the OP have a link or a source?

[Sooner75]

6. Nope

just came in an email without a source

I still think it's funny stuff

[deutsey]

8. I actually like the Constitution one

Of the three quotes, it sounds most like Carlin.

The other ones (especially the immigrant/cow one) I could do without.

:hi:

5. RW fraud, posing as carlin

Sooner may not know it, but this has been debunked long ago as fraud.

"i am a bad american" is the title of the full email going around, and it has much more than in this OP.

full version has lots of racism

carlin, BTW, is a hippie... LW.

3. "I love individuals. I hate groups of people. I hate a group of people ...

... with a common purpose, because pretty soon they have little hats, and armbands, and fight songs, and a list of people they're going to visit at 3AM"

- My favourite George Carlin quote.

(edited for typo)

7. DEBUNKED AS FRAUD here at DU, two

posts at least.

try search function if you a donor

the OP is from an email getting FWD'ed around from RW person to their whole mail list of acquaintances.

9. Really?

It doesn't sound very RW to me, I saw it in a DU thread months ago.

HOW TO SPOT A FAKE
Here's a rule of thumb, folks: Nothing you see on the Internet is mine unless it came from one of my albums, books, HBO shows, or appeared on my website. If you see something with my name on it, and you really need to find out if it's mine, post a question on my bulletin board . But only if it's really important to you; don't fuck around with me for a lark.
