Happy 70th birthday, George Carlin!

From one indecent Supreme Court defendant to another

George Carlin.  Seven decades of living, five decades of performing. From the Seven Words You Can Never Say On Television to Mr. Conductor on Shining Time Station to Rufus from the Bill & Ted movies, Cardinal Glick in Dogma, and Fillmore in Cars. With extra cool points for being arrested at the same time as Lenny Bruce.

"Things that you want to change in the world have to start inside yourself. You can't just acquiesce. You can't be at the mall, with a fannypack on, scratching your nuts, buying sneakers with lights in them. You have to be thinking. You have to be resisting. You have to be talking."

Happy birthday, man.
