Now that he is gone, to preserve his legacy, George Carlin did NOT write the now e-famous lame piece of shit, "Paradox of Our Time."

Here is the proof by George Carlin himself:
"Don't Blame Me" by George Carlin

Even worse, there was another chain letter circulating though people's email accounts a few years back, an unimaginative diatribe on Hurricane Katrina that George Carlin would NEVER have written, never mind that he would have been more clever than this:

George Carlin was NOT a conservative.

He was also not a liberal. In fact, in his old age, he pretty much decided that power will do what it wants and that the ruling voting bloc in this country couldn't be overridden by the smart people, and gave up voting, at least according to what he said on stage. He was a professional synic and we all loved him for it. We still do. Although, I respectfully disagree that voting is a waste of time, especially this year.

He revealed the truth about all the bullshit artists from both sides of the aisle, to steal a term from CSPAN, and made good cases for both capitalist libertarians and proponents of social justice. He hated racism, including the blatant kind, the subtle kind, and the kind that lurks in people's subconcious that guilty white liberals are devoted to denying. He also hated commercialism and the growing influence of Corporate America in our government.

So, don't anyone try to make the case that George Carlin was a conservative or a socialist. I am writing this now to warn people not even to think about it. He was a realist, a First Amendment hero, and the greatest comedian to live in both the 20th and 21st centuries.
