and that's not a rhetorical question about his politics. He was on Bill Maher's Real World on HBO last night, and seemed to be afflicted with some ailment. He was blinking rapidly and seemed to have trouble keeping his conversation together. Reminded me of symptoms of Parkinson's. Later in the show the symptoms seemed to calm down and it was more vintage Carlin although it was clear there was a more bitter tinge to his view on our political system. He hit both sides in his attacks.

Love his directness about religion.

Now who in the hell was that doofy guy they got as the token Republican last night? It was the first time I saw someone really make Bill Maher bite his lip. Tom, was that you in disguise?
