R.I.P. – George Carlin
I got to see George Carlin in 2003 with my stepdad from the 2nd row at a show in Davenport, Iowa.
I've seen dozens of comedy shows, and I won't lie, his wasn't the best. But he did give off this vibe that just screamed "hey. you're watching a god damn legend here."
And that's just what he was. A legend. RIP, George.
Carlin was arrested on July 21, 1972 at Milwaukee's Summerfest and charged with violating obscenity laws after performing his "seven words you can never say on television" routine.
The case, which prompted Carlin to refer to the words for a time as, "The Milwaukee Seven", was dismissed in December of that year; the judge stated that the language was indecent but cited free speech, as well as the lack of any disturbance.
When you wish upon a star…
... make sure it's not shit. Seriously.

GTA4: A Review by “The Escapist”
I dunno if you guys have played Grand Theft Auto 4 yet, but surely you've at least heard about it. If people don't love it they are trying to ban it (Hillary Clinton). Anywho, this guy has a website where he does satirical (yet stunningly accurate) game reviews. This is his review of Grand Theft Auto 4. Enjoy.
