I'm not sure if any of you remember Bill Maher. He hosted the Politically Incorrect tv show awhile back. He got in trouble with a few untimely comments on September 11th and got censored off the air. I was never a big fan of Bill's political opinions, he leans too far to the left. But I did like his presence on airwaves against all of the right wing talking heads in tv land. Some of the time he actually made sense in his debates, which after all is what's to be expected from a proper debate -- throw your opinions, beliefs, 'lusions up against the wall and see if it survives. I thought it was a shame that the networks reacted the way they did to what he said about September 11th. Yeah he was off base and mistimed it but it still was just a personal opinion. What's wrong with this country anyway? Can't stand it when someone has an unpopular opinion? What has happened to our democratic and free speech beliefs? Are we that insecure with our own 'lusions that we eliminate anyone with a different viewpoint? Am I overreacting?
Anyway Bill is back on the air sort of... on HBO. He also has a web site with his blog. He's a different person in his blog, seems like it's an area for him to rant and cuss it up on whatever subject he's pissed about. Some of his rants are right on and some are well.. far out...
