....anyone who thought Carlin was a god.

He made some excellent points through the years, and people appreciate that, but there certainly isn't any significant cult following that I've seen.

But I do have to admit the "outlook" he expresses above is pretty popular around here. I've seen A LOT of posts denigrating pretty much every subset of the American public, mostly magats of course.
