    <![CDATA[<strong>On the heels of George Carlin's #1 <em>New York  Times </em>bestseller <em>Napalm &amp; Silly Putty</em> comes <em>When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops?</em> -- infused with Carlin's trademark irreverent humor and biting cultural  observations.</strong>  <p>Here we go again . . . George Carlin's hilarious <em>When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops?</em> offers his cutting-edge opinions and observational humor on everything from evasive euphemistic language to politicians to the media to dead people. Nothing and no one is safe!  <p>Despite the current climate of political correctness, Carlin is not afraid to take on controversial topics:  <p>--<strong>Carlin on the media:</strong> The media comprises equal parts business, politics, advertising, public relations, and show business. Nice combination. Enough bull for Texas to open a chain of branch offices.<br/> --<strong>Carlin on the battle of the sexes:</strong> Here's all you have to know about men and women: women are crazy, men are stupid. And the main reason women are crazy is that men are stupid.<br/> --<strong>Carlin on hygiene:</strong> When did they pass a law that says the people who make my sandwich have to be wearing gloves? I'm not comfortable with this. I don't want glove residue all over my food; it's not sanitary. Who knows where these gloves have been?<br/> --<strong>Carlin on evasive language:</strong> Just to demonstrate how far using euphemisms in language has gone, some psychologists are now actually referring to ugly people as those with &quot;severe appearance deficits.&quot; Hey, Doctor. How's that for &quot;denial&quot;?<br/> --<strong>Carlin on politics:</strong> No self-respecting politician would ever admit to working in the government. They prefer to think of themselves &quot;serving the nation.&quot; To help visualize the service they provide the country, you may wish to picture the things that take place on a stud farm.  <p>The thinking person's comic who uses words as weapons, Carlin puts voice to issues that capture the modern imagination. For instance, why are there Ten Commandments? Are UFOs real? What will the future really be like? This brand-new collection tackles all that and more.  <p>In <em>When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops?</em> Carlin's razor-sharp observations demolish everyday values and leave you laughing out loud -- delivering exactly what his countless fans have been waiting for.</p></p></p></p></p>]]>

Until this, I have never read any of his books, though. To call this a funny book would be about 50% correct, as it is, indeed, a book.

    <body><![CDATA[This is pretty much what you expect from Carlin - acerbic, abrasive, disrespectful, challenging language that doesn't give a good goddamn what anyone else thinks. Which means there'll definitely be something in there that you disagree with, and probably something that pisses you off.

    <![CDATA[George Carlins legendary irreverence and iconoclasm are on full display in When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops? as he vainly scours the American landscape for signs of intelligence in his third national bestseller. Ranging from his absurdist side (Message from a Cockroach; TV News: The Death of Humpty Dumpty; Tips for Serial Killers) to his unerring ear for American speech (Politician Talk; Societal Clichs; Euphemisms: 13 sections) to his unsparing views on America and its values (War, God, Stuff Like That; Zero Tolerance; Tired of the Handi-crap), Carlin delivers everything that his fans expect, and then adds a few surprises.]]>

    <![CDATA[WHEN WILL JESUS BRING THE PORK CHOPS? is quintessential Carlin. No one is off limits for his criticism - children, women, the Religious Right, the Liberal Left, all ethnicities and persuasions. Even the Ten Commandments get the Carlin treatment; he reduces them to a mere two. He combines some (yes there are redundancies here), and eliminates some altogether. For example, George insists we have to get rid of &quot;Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's goods&quot; because after all &quot;that's what keeps the economy going!&quot;  The title? George was just hoping to offend as many people as possible. Filled with thoughts, musings, questions, lists, beliefs, curiosities, monologues, assertions, assumptions, and other verbal ordeals, WHEN WILL JESUS BRING THE PORK CHOPS? delivers what Carlin's countless fans have been waiting for - more George Carlin!]]>

    <![CDATA[George Carlins legendary irreverence and iconoclasm are on full display in When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops? as he vainly scours the American landscape for signs of intelligence in his third national bestseller. Ranging from his absurdist side (Message from a Cockroach; TV News: The Death of Humpty Dumpty; Tips for Serial Killers) to his unerring ear for American speech (Politician Talk; Societal Clichs; Euphemisms: 13 sections) to his unsparing views on America and its values (War, God, Stuff Like That; Zero Tolerance; Tired of the Handi-crap), Carlin delivers everything that his fans expect, and then adds a few surprises.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Parts of this made me laugh, others did not.  I like George Carlin, but at times find him too abrasive with the crude humor.  I love the plays on the English language and the attacks on the soft language of today.  Overall, the humor is there, (I listened to the audiobook) but it seems very disjoint...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75247621">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[His did not bring the funny. George Carlin was too good of a thinker to have failed to spit at the English language as he so often did without maintaining the level of humor he is known for.
