We Serve It, Even When It's Hard To Swallow
There were two particularly fascinating reasons to watch this week’s edition of Real Time with Bill Maher on HBO: (1) Tulane professor Melissa Harris-Perry; and (2) Maher’s take on Sarah Palin’s Teabagger revisionist history of Paul Revere. Professor Harris-Perry is always prepared with an arsenal of in-your-face statistics and facts when it comes to debunking [...]
In his latest edition of “New Rules,” comedian and political pundit Bill Maher tackled the effects of violent rhetoric and actions on children who witness such behavior from adults. To highlight his point, Maher used the recent death of Neo-Nazi Jeff Hall who was shot and killed by his own 10-year-old son after the two argued.
Bill Maher thinks that the death of Osama bin Laden is a good thing. But the host of HBO’s Real Time took exception Friday night to the professed Christians and Evangelicals in America who took great joy last week in celebrating the death of even someone as evil as bin Laden, which is against the [...]
In the most recent edition of HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, the comedian and commentator finally said what the rest of us rational and intelligent Americans have been saying for a while: Republicans are full of shit! Maher may not have used those exact words, but the overall message is the same. Regarding the [...]
I am constantly amazed at how the TeaPublicans continue to scream fiscal responsibility while giving away massive tax credits and subsidies to big industry, oil companies, and their fat-cat Wall Street masters, while they dismantle medicare, reduce social programs, and restrict a woman’s choice. It reminded me of this classic Republican commercial spoof from Bill [...]
I was so caught up in the breaking news concerning Osama bin Laden the past 48-hours that I neglected to report on a significant event in my life: the public verbal lashing of the vile Andrew Bretibart. In last week’s installment of HBO’s Real Time With Bill Maher, journalist and author Laura Flanders (GRITtv) told [...]
The GOP on both a national and at state levels are proposing and enacting a whole host of laws aimed at restricting a woman’s choice as it relates to reproductive health. One of the most intrusive of these laws is the proposal that a woman be forced to watch an ultrasound before having an abortion. [...]
In this preview of tomorrow night’s “New Rules” segment on Real Time with Bill Maher, the comic and political commentator takes aim at Glenn Beck’s annoyingly persistent whining and apocalyptic pronouncements, comparing the Fox News host to a car alarm. Bill’s point is that Beck is like a car alarm in that they’re just annoying [...]
In Bill Maher’s weekly post-show segment “Overtime” this week, Ed Rendell tries to walk back his claim that America is a nation of “wussies,” while the panelists address a viewer question on whether politicians should be required to take a “smart test” before running for office. Which brought up an interesting point: did you know [...]
Bill Maher used his most recent “New Rules” segment to propose the perfect anti-Obama candidate for the GOP in 2012. Meet Karab Amaobo, “A fat, white, small-eared idiot, who angers quickly, overreacts to everything and can bowl 300; and who carries only one form of ID, his original birth certificate.” In other words, he’s the [...]
I’m still upset about Bill Maher’s constant kissing of Arianna Huffington’s ass, but it doesn’t prevent me from enjoying my weekly dose of Real Time, especially when Bill goes after lazy American kids who play video games, the NRA, and the Republican party in one segment of “New Rules.” What everyone’s talking about today is Maher’s [...]
After taking a week off, Bill Maher was back to his weekly routine on HBO’s Real Time. Part of that routine is Overtime — the after show segment broadcast exclusively on the web. Maher and his panelists answer questions submitted on the show’s website. This past week, panelists TC Boyle, Gloria Steinem, Ezra Klein, Gavin [...]
A young lady said something to me today I found interesting. “I’m not really into politics,” she said, “but why are conservatives so angry and liberals seem to be funny or sarcastic about things, but generally in better humor?” She got me thinking about it, and you know what, she’s right. _______________ The easiest emotion [...]
Bill Maher’s branching out from his HBO talk show Real Time, by doing another show called 12 Mile for the folks at Funny or Die. In the premiere segment (who knows if there will be another), Maher sits down aboard a fake yacht to get silly with comedian Sarah Silverman. Don’t expect anything highbrow or [...]
In this unaired “New Rule” from last week’s show, Bill Maher address communal seating at restaurants. “There’s a time and a place for sharing a table with a bunch of strangers. The time was 1965 and the place was my first day of school.” (video after the jump)
