Vote Democratic Part 3

Bill Maher says it best this week:

When it comes to voting, when we only have two choices, you got to grow up and realize there's a big difference between a disappointing friend and a deadly enemy.

I'm as disappointed with Obama as anyone and I had few expectations. Way back at the beginning I said I didn't think he would make a great president because he really isn't a progressive, that I'd be happy if I could get health insurance, which I am just about to sign up for.

But no matter how disappointed we are there is still a HUGE difference between the dems and the pubs. Bill continues:

The Democrats have a D because they barely pass but you know why the Republican symbol is R? Because it's the noise a pirate makes when he robs you and feeds you to a shark.

Here is his latest New Rules:

New Rules

Great New Rules on Bill Maher last Friday. About evolution and idiot evolution deniers:

"You can’t crap all over Darwin and stem cell research and global warming, then come crawling back to science when you want Tamiflu."

New Rules

Bill Maher thinks if we kill just 2 bankers it will scare the rest of them into acting better.

The New RNC Chairman

Is Michael Steele. I don't know a lot about him but I've seen him a couple of times on Bill Maher and disliked him immensely. He is also black. Melissa Harris-Lacewell is a guest on the Rachel Maddow show often and is always intelligent and lively. Yesterday was her best night. She said that the Republicans see Obama as being from Krypton and they needed some Kryptonite. So they went to the planet Blackman and got the guy they thought would be his nemesis. What a great line. Here is a video of it.

Religulous

This is the name of Bill Maher's new movie, it's a combination of religion and ridiculous, so that should give you a good idea of where he is going with this. The video is an interview with Bill on Larry King where he talks about the movie. Although he says he wants it to open on Easter obviously that isn't going to happen.

On the official website it says Oct. 3rd. You can see the trailer for it which looks hilarious. There is also a link on there to disbeliefnet which looks like a fun site.

Bill Maher Against Religion

In last Friday's show Bill really disses religion and speaks up for rationalists everywhere:

Bill Maher

I'm a big fan of Real Time with Bill Maher and never miss a show. I'm constantly amazed at how knowledgeable he is on so many subjects, but this week he really let me down so I fired off an email:

I was very disappointed with you on Friday's show, usually you are very well informed but you let one lie and one error go from your very annoying English guest. First of all Partial Birth Abortion is not a medical term, it's made up by the Christian right for propaganda purposes, second of all, it is never used on a viable baby. Abortion past the 2nd trimester is illegal in most, if not all, 50 states. This procedure is done only when the fetus is NOT viable and the mother's life is in danger. So no late term abortions of a healthy fetus are happening, yet you let that clown say that's what was happening. What the Supreme Court ruling means is a woman MUST submit to the far more dangerous and invasive C Section surgery.

The other thing you should have commented on was his statement of what happened when we pulled out of Vietnam. Yes it was true but all the years we spent in Vietnam did not prevent that from happening in any way, it just got a lot more people killed on all sides before it happened. This is the same thing in Iraq, whatever will happen there when we pull out, and we must pull out eventually, WILL happen. We could spend 10 more years there, get many Americans and Iraqis killed, bankrupt our country, and it will still happen when we pull out. All we are doing is keeping a lid on things by force, not solving any problems. The longer we stay the greater the problems become as more and more resentment is built up on all sides and the worse our leaving will be. There is no way we can stay long enough to prevent anything from happening. The Soviets held a lid on Yugoslavia for 50 years but all hell still broke loose when they pulled out.
