An homage to George Carlin

Seven words you'll never hear used in their correct context (if you hear them at all) by corporate-owned media:

1. marxist theory
2. global capitalism
3. critical theory
4. hegemony
5. rights
6. power elite
7. institutions

But frankly, it's hard to limit the list to just seven. They get EVERYTHING wrong.

At 3:45 PM, Bill Arnett said...: I have watched Carlin all my life, from his "Al Sleet the hippy dippy weatherman with all the hippy dippy weather, man," during the Sullivan years to his latest shows.

I feel as it I have lost a dear friend and I know the world just lost one of its shining luminaries and geniuses. Rest in Peace, my friend.
