The Funny Farm

Ahhhh... The Power Of Tivo^TM

I just managed to find the time to watch the start of the new season of Real Time with Bill Maher, and I hope that some of the rest of you managed to catch it as well. Michael Moore, Kim Campbell, and two Repugnicant stooges - one live, and one via satellite hookup - both filling as much time as they could with their little Conservabot talking points. A former Prime Minister of Canada calling out pRezNit Prozac on the telly. Moore and Maher on their knees begging Nader - live in the studio - not to run, and he refuses to listen. And then Kimmy calls Nader out for wasting his ability to influence the dialogue - and Nader falls back onto sound bites in response. Other major points of interest here at the Funny Farm were a clip of Andre 3000 talking to Barack Obama one on one in a convention backroom, and noticing that the Repugnicant in the studio bailed on the show before it ended - he couldn't sit there and take it when people said bad things about his Chimperor!.

A powerful hour of infotainment. Hope you get to see it one of these days!

[Ed. Note: I see that fellow wild-eyed coalition member Hoffmania did the same thing (recorded Real Time and watched it Saturday night - are we both that much in need of a real life?*), as well as adding a few specific snarks about the Repugnicant shill in-house, who happens to be the co-chair of the Pinhead / Pencil Dick campaign. Nicely skewered, my friend...

I would also highly recommend that you continue on down the web page , once you get finished with the HBO synopsis over there. Hoffmania points out a number of things that everyone needs to be aware of, about the latest outrages pRezNit Prozac has added to his pile.

* - or is this really so good that it inspires such a strong immediate reaction? The opening intro, with Mikey spoofing F911 while Bill reads a book in front of a bunch of kids, was also a nice touch tha we didn't point out above. And more than worth the price of admission...
