I always thought of him as the Gentile version of Lenny Bruce (b.

Bruce, Carlin was one of the first pioneers of topical shock humor.

Carlin's blue humour..err humor?eheh -D, NYC "Comedians/Entertainers:
American humor - theatre, film, television -would have lost much of

Moe Horwitz, and Jerome "Curly" Horwitz). The tradition continued with
New York natives Danny Kaye and Phil Silvers in the 1950s & '60s.

asshole. All he does is insult people, attack people, gouges at their
weak points. He's really a slime dog. But then, I must admit, after
listening for a while, I came to my own opinion. I saw real
humor...real clever objective stuff, that really was a commentary on

literature, arts, business and more. If you listed the most
influential people of the last hundred years, three at the top of the
list would be Einstein, Freud and Marx; all were Jews. Many more
belong on the list, yet Jews comprise at most less than 3 percent of
the United States population. They are an amazing people. Imagine the
persecution they endured over the centuries: pogroms, temple burnings,
Cossack raids, uprootings of families, their dispersal to the winds
and the Holocaust. After the Diaspora, they could not own land or
worship in much of the world; they were prohibited from voting and
were told where to live. Yet their children survived and Jews became

the largest Jewish urban community in history. But Jewish New York is
not only enormous, it is also enormously complex. The substantial size

Warburgs, Kahns, Lehmanns, Guggenheims, Schiffs, Seligmans, Strauses,

later, in response to the 1973 Israel-Arab war, the donations topped
$100 million. In today's world, in which an independent but still
threatened Jewish state exists, New York Jews know full well that

here! ehe."If I had been nice to him {Prince Charles}, I could have
been the first real Jewish princess - Princess Babs" eh - BARBRA
STREISAND, b. Bklyn, umpteenth sweet, Jewish NYer - greatest female
pop voice of the 20th century.."Yes, I am a Jew, and when the
ancestors of the right honorable gentleman were brutal savages in an
unknown island, mine were priests in the Temple of Solomon" - BENJAMIN
DISRAELI, 1804-1881, first Jewish Prime Minister of England,
responding to Irish Roman Catholic leader Daniel O' Connell, in the
House of Commons, who cast aspersions on his Jewish ancestry.."Moses
Montefiore (1784-1885) was not only the personal financier of Queen
Victoria, but he also became the first Jewish sheriff of London.
Montefiore led the way for the industrial development of Great Britain
and was responsible for illuminating London's streets by his Imperial
Continental Gas Association, bringing a new twist to the ideal of
Isaiah that the Jews become "a light unto the nations." He also
founded the Provincial Bank of Ireland and a number of other leading
banking institutions. Montefiore was the first Jew to be knighted by
the Queen" - FROM SHYLOCK TO LORD, excerpt from THE COMPLETE IDIOT'S
GUIDE TO JEWISH HISTORY AND CULTURE BY RABBI BENJAMIN BLECH.."We must
study in greater detail than their neighbors, these numerically and
geographically insignificant Jews, who gave to the world one of its
greatest literatures, two of its most influential religions and so
many of its profoundest men" - WILL DURANT (The Story Of Civilization,
Volume I).."If statistics are right, the Jews constitute but one
percent of the human race. It suggests a nebulous dim puff of stardust
lost in the blaze of the Milky way. Properly, the Jew ought hardly to
be heard of, but he is heard of, has always been heard of. He is as
prominent on the planet as any other people, and his commercial
importance is extravagantly out of proportion to the smallness of his
bulk. His contributions to the world's list of great names in
literature, science, art, music, finance, medicine, and abstruse
learning are also away out of proportion to the weakness of his
numbers. He has made a marvelous fight in this world, in all the ages;
and had done it with his hands tied behind him. He could be vain of
himself, and be excused for it. The Egyptian, the Babylonian, and the
Roman followed, and made a vast noise, and they are gone. Other
peoples have sprung up and held their torch high for a time, but it
burned out, and they sit in twilight now, or have vanished. The Jew
saw them all, beat them all, and is now what he always was, exhibiting
decadence, no infirmities of age, no weakening of his parts, no
slowing of his energies, no dulling of his alert and aggressive mind.
All things are mortal but the Jew; all other forces pass, but he
remains. What is the secret of his immortality?" - MARK TWAIN
