    I love Bill Maher. From the latest episode of Real Time (which you can download in audio form for free as a podcast) he has the following riff on popular culture and new technology:

    “Now, in his speech before Congress on Tuesday, the president pointed out that we’re addicted to oil, can’t afford health care, our education system is broken, our economy is near collapse, and the day of reckoning has arrived. But, many members of Congress didn’t hear all that, because during the speech, they were “Twittering.” Which is when you type out little messages on your hand-held device to tell everyone what you’re doing right now! Like, “I’m displaying the very self-absorption that will destroy us all!”

    What must Obama have thought as he looked upon this? Hey, “Senator Gossip Girl,” I’m up here. You know, Nero fiddled while Rome burned, but at least he knew how to play an instrument. Folks, this is not a drill. This is the real thing. Our “booze cruise” has hit the iceberg. And I don’t want it to sink. We all need to get involved and learn how to do things and make things again. This is the moment where we must steel our resolve, reach through our blanket screens, grab our farting phone and send off a mighty Twitter saying, ‘Yes, we can!!‘.”

    I don't like Bill Maher, but I dislike even more the people who act righteous about poking fun at a guy who wrastled snakes for a living.

    Although, minus your verbal diarhea on display at times, i assume you're a decent person, and would not tolerate somebody dying to be a gag.

    But, i'd also think you'd see the rationale in attacking someone like irwin, who in my oppinion seemed to just be a bully towards animals for show.

    I like Bill and agree with his views on religions. Plus he is FUNNY.But he goes off to much about the republicans and not enough about the democrats. I am neither for the record.

    Big deal; Bill isn't any funnier than Obama himself:

    Uh Oh, White House Seeks Economic Advice From Twitter

    So, Obama is seeking economic advice from the co-founder of a business model that raises no revenue? Sweet...

    I really ing doubt Obama thought any of that seeing as how he let Pelosi write the bill stealing trillions from Americans.

    I doubt Obama even read the damn thing.


    Jesus Christ. Use your brains. Maher can't just bash Bush for the next 4 years, so he will pick on the little piglets while sucking some Obama . Way to go you rebel you. Way to stand up against the establishment you have ed about for so long

    What is it with people saying they are leaving unable to leave? Not that I care if they stay, but why even post that you're leaving?

    From the sounds of things I think he will be banging her again. They are doing a show together.

    I find Bill Maher witty and funny, although I disagree with 80% of what he believes in (same thing with the late George Carlin).

    He's a wit off the cuff, but anything he plans, sucks. His monologues are painful.

    I haven't seen it in a while either and forgot about them, but that's very true.
