POPS'Nazi' Pope Runs 'Child-Abusing Cult,' says HBO's Maher I am no Catholic...or defender of Imus or Pat Robertson or the LDS; but why does this hateful man's remarks not receive the condemnation that they deserve? There seems to be selective outrage within our society. He appears to have his own brand of 'cult' thinking that he spreads with impunity.

POPSBill Maher on Feminism During my brief subscription to HBO, I watched Bill Maher. For all his liberal bent, I believe he's come to the same conclusion about the "question of woman" as Nietzsche.. :)

POPSAmericans Are Smart - NO THEY ARE NOT!
Bill Maher's Friday March 7, 2008 episode of New Rules, says it all. Bill states, "Politicians have got to stop saying, AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE SMARTER THAN THAT!" Bill bellows, "NO THEY ARE NOT!" And oh, is he ever so correct in that statement. Read the article http://thinkingblue.blogspot.com/ & judge for yourself. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH US AMERICANS? HOW DID WE GET SO DUMB? It is truly an embarrassment. But what can you expect when these same Americans voted in for their Commander-In-Cheif, one of the stupidest boneheads ever to walk this planet. I'm not saying Dubya is mentally incompetent but he is so dumb his presence sparked a slew of YO PRES' SO DUMB... jokes: Now enjoy Bill Maher's NEW RULES for March 7, 2008 http://www.thethinkingblue.com/dumbdown.html OR http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsOHSHSzNBw Read article: http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/3/11/embarrassingly-stupid-americans-one-in-five-believes-sun-revolves-around-earth.aspx

POPSBill Maher is losing his edge! Maher's lost it While I was watching last Friday, I kept wondering WTF...why is he letting these jazzbos get away with that? He just sits there with a dumb look on his face. I kept hoping he would say something--but no. Maher's definitely lost his edge and I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw it...I thought it was me. I should trust my own instincts more, neh? Hey Bill, if by some odd chance you are reading this---WAKE THE FUCK UP OR GET OFF THE TUBE! a useta be fan... However, Matt Taibbi was great...his amusement of the panel's idiocy and sharp comments were the only part of last week's show worth watchin'. But then Taibbi's alway wunnerful.

POPSAtheists, have a little respect, please Okay, this isn't exactly subtle, but I couldn't help finding it funny anyhow. Especially after Bill Maher, after once again laughing at the strangeness of Christian doctrine, is accused by Bill Donohue of not "respect the right of most Americans to believe in God" (http://snipr.com/1z044).

POPSLocker-Room Mentality Of MSNBC, Alive and Well!
locker-room language is still rampant on our airwaves and elsewhere but should never be allowed to go unchecked. I was watching Bill Maher the other night and P. J. O'Rourke said something to the effect that what Ann Coulter says at 3 in the afternoon on TV, piped into millions of viewers living rooms, is language I (O'Rourke) would use in the middle of the night, at 3am, while I was roaring drunk. In other words, this pattern of inconsiderate thought should be kept to one's self. This type of bad behavior by anchors, writers, pundits or any, who supposedly represent segments of we-the-people, should never be deemed as normal conduct. DAVID SHUSTER, should have known better when that misogynist thought popped into his locker-room head. The fact that he ran with it, speaks volumes about our society's inability to consider all people equal, regardless of their political, racial, gender, sexual or religious differences from ourselves. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2St8qoXx1g

POPSBill Maher, Too Former US Senator and former Governor of Connecticut Lowell Weicker has reportedly endorsed Ron Paul. Discussing tonight’s debate, Weicker said: "Ron Paul is by far the best Republican running. He did great! He is what the Republican Party used to be!”

POPSFunny quotes on steroid use in baseball Here is another one: "Former baseball star Jose Canseco has a new book out. It’s a tell-all autobiography in which he claims he injected his former teammate -- superstar Mark McGwire -- with steroids. He also claims that President Bush, who was then a co-owner of the Texas Rangers, was aware of steroid use among players. A White House spokesperson says Bush was not aware of it -- nor was he aware of most anything during the early '90s. Mark McGwire vehemently denies the accusation – he got so angry when he heard about it, he picked up his house and threw it onto the freeway." --Jimmy Kimmel

POPSReligion promises, YOUR OWN PLANET? Lil' beyond social security.
Bill Maher, does it again, on Larry King... Do I ever LUV THIS GUY. He speaks, with humor, how RELICULOUS (ridiculous) the over the top religious nuts are. I believe everyone should be allowed to believe anything they want as long as their beliefs don't get them HOODWINKED by the conniving nutcases in charge of any particular religion... who try to spread their GOD like HE/SHE is a butter knife full of LARD... I use "lard" but I mean another 4 letter word. Life is one BIG mystery and anyone who tells you they know exactly what is going on in HEAVEN or the interstellar space full of interstellar medium is also full of that other 4 letter word. Bill Maher's states:: "I DON'T KNOW AND NEITHER DOES ANYONE ELSE!" Right on, Bill! ~~~~~~ The interstellar medium is the name astronomers give to the gas and dust that pervade interstellar space. While the interstellar medium refers to the matter that exists between the stars within a galaxy... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstellar_medium

POPSAnother Insightful Perspective By Bill Maher Bill Maher creates an interesting analogy between Bush's manipulation of the Iraq war and Ken Lay's similar tactics at Enron. My clips do not do the piece justice, and I urge all of you to read the entire commentary.

POPSAn unbelievable interview with ONE BRAVE MAN! (Video)
I caught this interview on "Real Time With Bill Maher" and I hung on every intellectual word that came from the brilliant mind of Garry Kasparov chess champion, who is running against Putin in Russia. It was enlightening but also a bit depressing, because there aren't many leaders that could reach the genius of this man. Especially, here in the USA, where, as Chris Mathews (a guest on "Real Time") said after the interview "that was so sophisticated, and this audience was listening to every word. Our guys here talk down to us!" I started thinking about that statement by Mathews ... Why do they talk down to us? The answer is clear, because so many in the voting block seem to want and NEED their leaders to talk down to them. They, like small children, want the protection of a BIG DADDY who will tell them "Don't you worry, I'm here to protect you." and so they go on talking down, just to appease in order to get votes. Depressing is too light a word for how this makes me feel.
