Bill Maher is my hero
Never, ever, ever, EVER will you see a puke host who's as calm, composed, and non-confrontational while still being tough on the issues as Bill Maher. He pretty much just lets the guests hang themselves rather than "cutting their mikes."

The idiot Rohrabacher keeps going on, and on, and on, and on about how "John Kerry would have to ask the French and the Germans before he invaded Iraq." John Kerry would have never considered invading Iraq, at least without a valid and executable exit plan.

The ex-NBC anchor/correspondent is surprising me with her spine. It's rare to see a corporate media shill act like she did.

The author guy is cool. He's not backing down at all to the condescending, confrontational attitude of the puke.

1. He really is great!
And makes some strong points about issues that don't normally get talked about, like the absurdity of the war on drugs and all the toxins we're poisoning ourselves with. Best show on tv? Maybe!

I've always liked Ashleigh Banfield, she's really never seemed like a shill to me.

6. Wow, I'm extremely jealous.
I got into them, like 99% of the rest of us probably, because of She Don't Use Jelly back when it was on the radio. I loved the album at the time but didn't really even fully appreciate them till Clouds Taste Metallic. Then Soft Bulletin became like my favorite album ever...

I would have loved to have seen them back then. I can only imagine what Wayne was like, hehe.

7. Honestly, he hasn't really changed much...
just gotten older. He's a really nice guy, truth be told. I've had the chance (way back when) to hang out with him a little and there were times when he definitely could have been a stuck up star jerkoff, but instead he was always really cool and nice to me.

Are you on the Lips board? I go by Mr. Modular over there. I've gotta crash, I'll look for your reply tomorrow. Peace.

2. Rohrabacher must be a prop for Oscar Mayer
I've never heard someone use the word "Baloney" more times in five minutes than him.

"Global baloney?!!!!" What a moran :D

3. Rohrabacher
is a liar re: evidence pertaining to global warming. I am convinced he knows better. He just thinks his class will escape the consequences.

4. Ashley Bancroft has always had spine. She is one of the only
reporters who told the truth about Iraq as she was reporting it. She came back and testified to the supression of the media and was branded a traitor by the WH. She is Canadian. Articles were written demanding that she be stripped of her US citizenship and thats when it was revealed she was Canadian. I love that girl.
