I puffypinkheart Bill Maher.


Seriously. His show is brilliant. I admire a man willing to support healthy debate, invite people of opposing beliefs to the panel, and talk about important issues intelligently. I want to copy his reading list.

Watching last week's show, I was amazed by the debate, intelligence and TOPICS he selected for the panel and special guests. Though he is admittedly liberal, he is not kind to stupidity. If a public figure, no matter the party to which he or she shows allegiance, does or says something stupid, whoa buddy. No free lunches here.

Jon Stewart is amazing, and I love the satire on The Daily Show. However, sometimes the message gets lost in the funny. Not of Real Time. Probably partially due to HBO versus Comedy Central... Dream come true: let Jon Stewart sit on the panel on Real Time. I'd go see it live!

Just sayin'
