The other day [the President] said, I know you've had some rough times, and
I want to do something that will show the nation what faith that I have in
you, in your maturity and sense of responsibility. (He paused, then said)
Would you like a puppy?

GEORGE CARLIN POST 9-11 (His wife recently died...)
Isn't it amazing that George Carlin - gross and mouthy comedian of the 70's
and 80's - could write something so very eloquent ... and so very
appropriate post 9-11.

The Paradox of Our Time--George Carlin's Tribute to His Late Wife- Fiction!
Summary of the eRumor
A message said to have come from George Carlin on the occasion of his wife's
death and his commentary on the nation after the Attack on America on
September 11, 2001. It has also circulated as having been written by a
surviving student of the Columbine high school massacre in Colorado
The Truth
This has been circulating on the Internet for quite a while...long before
September 11, and is not from George Carlin.
Those who know George Carlin's views would immediately know that the
comments in "The Paradox of Our Time" do not match those of Carlin.
On his website at http://www.georgecarlin.com he denies authorship and criticizes
the piece.
The rumor that these words were spoken on the occasion of the death of his
wife are a recent addition to the eRumor, which began circulating about
1999.
There are many websites that quote from this now classic eRumor and identify
it as having been written by Jeff Dickson in 1998.
Thanks to a tip from one of our readers, we have found the original author,
however.
It is minister, author, and former pastor of Overlake Christian Church in
Redmond, Washington.
In a response to an inquiry by TruthOrFiction.com, Dr. Moorehead said he
wrote it in 1990.
It was later published in 1995 in his book WORDS APTLY SPOKEN.
