Brilliant send-up of "Earth Day" and those who pray at the altar of radical environmentalism.

We want to start an earth day tradition. Burn a tire in your fire pit.

Hilarious. Carlin had a unique way of looking at things.

[albie]

Great bit! Did you hear the heckler lady? He just ignored her/it and moved on.

[bgill]

True.

[skeeter]

You gotta give Carlin credit - he truly was a critic of pop culture. Not like the phonies who’s only goal is to shape pop culture to suit their own tastes.

He was a liberal, but he wasn’t afraid of going after their sacred cows as well.

“Not like the phonies who’s only goal is to shape pop culture to suit their own tastes”.

...actually, I think the liberal ones (most of ‘em) just want to score points with the audience for their “big break”.

Indeed, one of my favorite Carlin moments was where he criticized NOW.

Good Stuff, GoodDay - I’ve forwarded the link to lots of people already.

Thanks much, and a big BUMP to this thread!

I like the idea of Earth Day traditions. The tire in the fire pit, and anti-whacko youtube screening. . . perhaps a BBQ tradition or lawn mowing contest? Other ideas?
