George Carlin: It's Make Believe!!!

Outtake from an HBO special. George Carlin talks about God, America and Hats.

I find as he ages, his diatribes and rants fit the way he looks a lot better. He seems more like a lovable crazy grandpa that flings applesauce at 2nd cousins during family gatherings then claims senility.

This is from Saturday, March 1, 2008. & No, he hasn't gained any weight. He's on heart medication (7 or so heart attacks'll require that) which causes a "moon-face" (retaining water). And thank goodness the man is still with us. He is an amazing voice of reason in these days of turmoil. Upvote for the greatest living philosopher of our age!

the most common medication associated with a moon face is cortisol, a steroid, which carlin would have really no reason to take for a heart problem. it is the result of fat redistribution, not water retention. he is most likely on blood thinners or diuretics to prevent clots and decrease the load on the heart (which would actually serve to increase water loss), neither of which should cause weight gain. i'm gonna go with "he's getting old" and his metabolism is slowing, or the embed video is distorted

There's a few good moments in this one, but on the whole isn't nearly as good as the last few shows he's done for HBO.

The "your kids aren't special" routine seems like almost a direct ripoff from Bill Hicks, which is quite surprising.

Gets my upvote anyway!
