Carlin, who had a history of heart and drug-dependency problems, died at Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica about 6 p.m. PDT (9 p.m. EDT) after being admitted earlier in the afternoon for chest pains, spokesman Jeff Abraham told Reuters.

Carlin just died.
“It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge. War endures. As well ask men what they think of stone. War was always here. Before man was, war waited for him. The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner. That is the way it was and will be. That way and not some other way.”

I applaud him for not going out the same way Hunter S. Thompson did.
Ain't that the truth?

That guy was funny!
The wife and I saw him live in Las Vegas a few years ago, and I can still remember his cursing like it was yesterday. He had at least 50 ways to say "pussy" that would make just about anyone blush!
R.I.P funnyman!
