Uncle Dan Report #10: George Carlin Dead; America goes to Hell

UDR#10

Mostly stories and reflections on George Carlin, who is more of a cultural icon than Tim Russert, specifically:

• A great cold-open that has less in common with Ron Paul than his supporters would have you think (It came from a Ron Paul video montage)
• George Carlin covered a lot of ground in comedy, as both Bill Hicks, and Jerry Seinfeld, plus others, can lay claim to Carlin as an influence.
• Although I didn't know it at the time, when I was a child I learned about masturbation from Carlin, which would come in quite handy later on.
• Amazingly, Rush Limbaugh claimed Carlin as a kindred spirit-what a hoot!
• Other stuff about George Carlin.
• Finally, is America going to Hell?

And, if you listen all the way to the end, you'll find out my interesting (and yes, a bit sexist) take on Michelle Obama. You'll need to listen to the ENTIRE episode to find out.
