Go figure that the one I turn to for economical/lifestyle suggestions/advice is such a fan of the one I turn to for philosophical advice :) And oh yea, you forgot Bill Maher, although he does come off as an elitist(he did go to an Ivy League school, then again, so did Tim) and does lean a lil' too left for my tastes, along with Lewis Black and Chris Rock they are like the sons that George never had. PS- last night watched "It's Bad For Ya" with the family So I was looking for the “Slow-Carb” Breakfast post and found this one, how crazy that my two biggest obsessions(besides travel, cars, and marathon running)- 4HWW and the “philosophies” of Carlin have such a connection!

I don't approve of him, but he was important in his day. Is Lenny Bruce too vile for you, or are you just not aware of him? And of course there's Oscar Wilde and G. K. Chesterton. Those two had real class, though I think Chesterton was usually more correct. Have you heard of them? Howard Tim, Interesting you didn’t mention Lenny Bruce.
