Week 5 :: You ARE What You LISTEN To

Real Time with Bill Maher
One needs an open mind when listening to Mr. Bill Maher. As humorous as he is controversial, Maher covers the day's hottest political topics; featuring guests from all over the spectrum. Do not allow yourself to be too jaded by his previous political commentary; with the last eight(8) years yielding effortless child's play through reason and logic, because Bill is an equal opportunity mocker. The new season began two weeks ago accompanied with a renewed sense of passion in his voice. Of course, [like us] he strongly supports President Obama, and unlike Mr. Limbaugh, Maher prefers to see the President and our country prosper... I'm dumb-founded by the idea of anyone benefiting from the leader of the free world failing??? However, Maher has been quick to criticize a few of the administration's earlier decisions, referring to Obama as another Clintonesque, big business Democrat. Bill is the liberal's liberal, and unlike many (though not all) of his counterparts, he enjoys magnifying the issues through a lens of logic and fact opposed to anger and fear.

In a few weeks, Maher will be making several stops in which he will debate my favorite poltergeist, Ann Coulter. Whether this will make it into the podcast or not, I do not know, but I highly advise finding a way to tune in. Between Ann Coulter's 140 decibel concern regarding the coming apocalypse, brought on by that "awful man" (FWD to 2:33 in the clip) and Bill's slightly stoned, yet rational fact based retorts, it should be great...

2009 promises to be a year of change, hope, renewal and at long last, a new president. Bill Maher and his peerless panelists are back to take on the contender, and pretenders, all year long. iTunes
