Holy crap... Bill Maher is on fire tonight. New special on HBO.
He attacks religion, Christians and stem-cell research (which has become a huge topic for me), the repukes, the banks, you name it. Highly worth watching if you get HBO.

1. I was more impressed when he called out stupid in the Republicans and
the people who shout down any progressive idea like socialism and don't even know what the word means. He took no prisoners. Called the Bush years like the TV was stuck on HeeHaw all those years.

2. My daughter loves him
We don't have HBO though. Hopefully it will come out on dvd and we can watch it then. What's the name of the special?

8. Did you DVR it pass the allotted time?
Edited on Sun Feb-14-10 09:49 AM by mmonk
I went to the show and had it DVR'd at home, but it ran over the allotted time so I didn't get the end of the show (I was recording it for my cousin because she no longer gets HBO and I was going to send her a disc of it).

10. yes I did......
...when I set the recording, my dvr said it may run a little long and asked me if I wanted to extend the record time. Well, I didn't really think it would run long but I said ok anyway!

It was good.....now I can't wait for his series to return next week!

11. Hopefully I can rerecord it on HBO on demand.
We're ready for the return of Real Time as well.

5. He is an example
of how the republicans tried to shut the other side up. They had all their lying right wing nutso's on TV etc but yet they had to get his show closed down. I like the HBO show, but it is a shame that more people can't see it.

6. Yet...
these right wing fucks keep crying about the "liberal Bias" in the media. Undoubtedly the same dumb asses who really believe Fox News is "fair and balanced". These people have had control of media for so long that when they hear anything close to the truth it makes their heads explode.
