Who to add toBill MAHER to a Twitter List? I've lost (some of) my Twitter virginity thx to MrScorpio

MrScorpio gave me the tip of using Lists (instead of Following), which I've loved for what amounts to RSS feeds for TalkShows, NewsWires, NetworkNews. Each individual entity (say, ABCnews) only tweets 3 or 4 items per hour, so grouping similar entities together (ALL the networks), rounds out a manageably meaty feed.

The few personalities I've peeped into, say Joy BEHAR, only tweet promos like "I'm hosting Mel BROOKS on tomorrow's show," no good.

I haven't looked at MAHER's yet, but suspect he would be content-worthy if anybody might. For sure, he is THE MOST simpatico in politics to me than anybody, secular humanist (and lapsed Catholic) that I am (I realize MAHER is Libertarian or some shit).

Probably COLBERT. NOT Jon STEWART, whom I stuck with for years until I discovered him to be a Third Way jerk.

Who else? I'm thinking Wonkette, Andy BOROWITZ...

Have just seen that Rolling Stone does mostly promos, like "Check out Bob DYLAN's such and such." COLBERT tweets about weekly.
