The caustic comedian who ushered in a new era of social satire has passed.

 

I did not realize he was still alive.

 

May he rest in peace.

One of Sahl's quips:

 

I've arranged with my executor to be buried in Chicago. Because when I die, I want to still remain active politically.

Another good one:

 

Remember when movies were just good or bad, before auteurs, film festivals, and guys from USC who were the first to shoot underwater?

Remember when comedians could express themselves - and no one called them names? That was the "good old days."
