2. I care. It's a decent show. Some varied opinions, of which some are easy to reject.

Always some funny observations, even if I have to grit my teeth at times.

I agree with some guests, don't with some others, but there are usually some interesting conversations and observations - and I appreciate the humor. And I know that everyone here may not be interested, I post what I do for those who are.

Maher is still relevant and often insightful.

And just as often a jackass.

There is a dearth of conversation among people of differing viewpoints and we need more of that.

Too many shows are simply echo chambers of people all agreeing with each other.

Seeing and hearing different viewpoints is still worthwhile.

He’ll spend most of the show complaining about woke Liberals and then he usually has a good new rules at the end.

8. Nikki Glaser is one of my fantasy women, although I have no doubt many around here will hate her...

for her material. (Or maybe because she's a skinny blonde...)

Anyway, she's hilarious.

Begala's cool, and I have no idea who Jane Coaston is.

Was a friend of Bill's. And I was right, she was on once before last year. And I also have no idea who Jane Coaston is but I guess we'll find out.

question everything
