I guess it's not surprising, given that he was 71 -- I guess I just didn't think of him as that old. Oftentimes, copy editors will come up with great (but unpublishable) headlines for celebrity obits in the paper and share them among co-workers. However, here's a time where I almost think an irreverent headline would be appropriate in the newspaper. I saw a couple I liked -- "Headlining in Heaven" and "George Carlin dies; $%#@$" -- and I think he would approve.

Better yet, let's do a real tribute to him and publish all seven words you can't say on television ... in the headline. There was nothing the man seemed to like better than hacking people off, and that would do it.
