    I loved George Carlin. His dissection of popular culture gave us all pause. I would love to hear his take on this new ridiculous tv show Baby Borrowers, where some dimwitted parents loan out their lovely child to hapless teens who think kids are cute. Good ol George would dish out a total tongue lashing on that farce… RIP GC
