Описание: On the heels of George Carlin's #1 New York Times bestseller Napalm & Silly Putty comes When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops? -- infused with Carlin's trademark irreverent humor and biting cultural observations. Here we go again . . . George Carlin's hilarious When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops? 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 Despite the current climate of political correctness, Carlin is not afraid to take on controversial topics:
Carlin on the media: 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.
Carlin on the battle of the sexes: 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.
Carlin on hygiene: 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?
Carlin on evasive language: Just to demonstrate how far using euphemisms in language has gone, some psychologists are now actually referring to ugly people as those with "severe appearance deficits." Hey, Doctor. How's that for "denial"?
Carlin on politics: No self-respecting politician would ever admit to working in the government. They prefer to think of themselves "serving the nation." To help visualize the service they provide the country, you may wish to picture the things that take place on a stud farm.
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. In When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops? Carlin's razor-sharp observations demolish everyday values and leave you laughing out loud--delivering exactly what his countless fans have been waiting for.

Описание: In his first book, the creator of the award-winning podcast Hardcore History looks to some of humanity`s most apocalyptic moments to understand the challenges of our future.
The creator of the wildly popular award-winning podcast Hardcore History looks at some of the apocalyptic moments from the past as a way to frame the challenges of the future.
Do tough times create tougher people? Can humanity handle the power of its weapons without destroying itself? Will human technology or capabilities ever peak or regress? No one knows the answers to such questions, but no one asks them in a more interesting way than Dan Carlin.
In The End is Always Near, Dan Carlin looks at questions and historical events that force us to consider what sounds like fantasy; that we might suffer the same fate that all previous eras did. Will our world ever become a ruin for future archaeologists to dig up and explore? The questions themselves are both philosophical and like something out of The Twilight Zone.
Combining his trademark mix of storytelling, history and weirdness Dan Carlin connects the past and future in fascinating and colorful ways. At the same time the questions he asks us to consider involve the most important issue imaginable: human survival. From the collapse of the Bronze Age to the challenges of the nuclear era the issue has hung over humanity like a persistent Sword of Damocles.
Inspired by his podcast, The End is Always Near challenges the way we look at the past and ourselves. In this absorbing compendium, Carlin embarks on a whole new set of stories and major cliffhangers that will keep readers enthralled. Idiosyncratic and erudite, offbeat yet profound, The End is Always Near examines issues that are rarely presented, and makes the past immediately relevant to our very turbulent present.

Описание:
This is the life story of an artist, a professor, and an insightful military man. Carlin Kielcheski began his life in the deep woods of Wisconsin enjoying the freedom of horses, lakes, and strong people who often enjoyed solitude and space. His love of drawing, especially horses, led to a career in art. The Korean War forced him into ROTC and the U. S. Air Force, eventually becoming a full professor of art at the the U.S. Air Force Academy. This man touched the lives of many warriors who passed through the Air Force Academy as students and fellow professors. He broadened their vision of creativity, beauty, and an appreciation for humanities' better qualities.
The Air Force created for him a never-before position as the first Air Force combat artist to record the war from an Air Force perspective through the medium of art. He worked to tell the story of the struggles and hopes of military men and women performing many dangerous and challenging missions in a war zone.
This artwork, the content of this unique volume, is an invaluable contribution to the history of the heroic but ill-fated U.S. war in Vietnam. Carlin occupies a special place in the roll-call of Vietnam War veterans. His work is all original art. He was not a photographer. All his work bears the unmistakable mark of the creative mind and eye, guiding the hand which made the paintings and drawings filling this book. 316 pages, 30 chapters, 90 hand-drawn illustrations and maps.
