Well, Sparky called yesterday and ordered up HBO again because Real Time with Bill Maher is back on the air through November, the first episode of the new season was tonight. The guests were Michael Moore, Ralph Nader, Gov. Bill Owens, Rep. David Dreir, and former Canadian Prime Minister Kim Campbell. Watch one of the rebroadcasts this week if you can, it was a slugfest. And Bill and Michael got down on their knees and begged Nader not to run for President this year which really freaked Ralph out.
The most interesting part was watching the two Republicans try and rationalize Bush's actions, especially his non-reaction to the initial announcement that the US was under attack. Dreir's face got all red and he finally lost his composure and snapped at Michael Moore saying his documentary was fiction, which was ironic because he admitted he had not even seen the film.
Bill's official website has gotten a spiffy redesign, though I'd like to suggest he add a home link and a link to his discussion boards, which appears to be a great place to go if you like to argue. I know I'm opinionated, but I try not to get into arguments on politics or religion with people who are looking for an argument, it's just an exercise in frustration.

Posted by: terry kelly on August 20, 2004 09:45 AMI really have been wondering why no one is mentioning gun ownership this election. I think they're too busy arguing about stupid ctap like whether college-aged John Kerry set up some elaborate scheme to "go to Vietnam, win a couple of medals, get injured, and then come back home with the idea of using his heroism for political gain sometime in the distant future". Personally, there are other problems I'm a lot more worried about. If the press would stop talking about all this we could probably move on to some real issues...
