    Carlin had been pushed aside his entire career. That was what was so provocative about him. Someone who had a pulse on the heart beat of America but was operating completely in the background. He was so disillusioned by the end, an otherwise compassionate man, had basically decided that humanity was going to get what was coming to them and there was no amount of up front confrontation that could stop it.

    I’d argue the random glimpses we see of Carlin online is the most notoriety Carlin has received in the last 20 years. Almost as like an, “I told you so” from beyond the grave.
