LOL.....I love that you refer to what Rush does for a living as informing. Good one. If you simply mean informing in the strictest sense, as in disseminating information, well....I suppose. But then I suppose I could say I inform myself by reading restaurant menus.
edit: oh yeah....and you wouldn't have to order HBO "just" to see this. You'd also get Deadwood, Six Feet Under, The Sopranos, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Sex and the City (reruns now, of course, but unedited unlike TNT), Da Ali G Show and.......just for you......
Real Time With Bill Maher!!!
Seriously, though, it's the best programming on television. And you can just not watch when Bil Maher is on.

Maher is all pro-Bush on Iraq though, so he's not totally up to speed on his liberal talking points.

Really? I didn't know that. No matter, though. I think Bill Maher is fun to watch cos he's got a great sense of humor, but I consider him entertainment rather than a good information source. In a way, kind of like Rush Limbaugh, except intelligent.

I love how you think me telling you listening to him about 10% of the time equates to how I inform myself. The guy's an entertainer, pure and simple. Politics is what he uses, but to inform yourself via Rush, you'd have to pay to access his website, which millions do, earning him piles of cash. If figuring out how to get millions of people to listen to you on a daily basis makes him a dunce compared to Bill Maher, so be it.
That must make you smarter than Bill Maher! You've got a smaller audience than even he does! Go shmokes! U-RAH-RAH! SIS-BOOM-BAH!
Bill Maher used to be funny. He still is once in a while. The problem comes when he opens his mouth. The guy isn't pro-Bush on Iraq, he just isn't afraid to admit the possibility he could be right. For THAT, I respect him more than Al Franken. Which doesn't say much.

Ah...but you speak prematurely. Saint has shown me the site stats. Bill Maher and I are currently neck-and-neck, and things are looking up for me since Saint gave me that title under my avatar.
