Bill Maher returned to HBO last night with a great show and a hilarious "New Rules" segment.

"New Rule: You can't put a windmill in your ad if you've voted against every single bill that might lead someone to actually build one. As long as you're sending a camera crew to a farm, why not take a picture of actual bullsh*t."
Heather also took the liberty of uploading the Overtime segment and writes this:

This is the portion of the Overtime segment where they're talking about cable news pundits talking about nothing instead of actually covering the speeches during the convention and just how bad all "news" coverage is right now and the use of advocates as reporters and mixing commentary and reporters and Corzine takes a good shot at the papers for advocating for war and saying there were WMD's on their front pages and that there is opinion buried in almost all reporting now so that people don't know what to trust.

Maher!
Funny as hell! And please Democrats, bring back John Edwards.
From kos:
"John McCain has known Sara Palin for fewer months than he has houses"
Maher should run a complete show about Republicans beating the crap out of Hilary when she was first lady and ran for senate.
That'll show the PUMAs who they are siding with.
Fuçking idiots!!!!!!!!!
Sarah Palin: its like if George Bush had nominated Katherine Harris to be his VP instead of letting her just steal the election for him.
There is opinion buried in almost all reporting now so that people don’t know what to trust.
So true. I have found Reuters to be the most objective source of news, mainly because it is a financial news service. That's not to say that a financial news source won't have a corporate viewpoint, but they seem to be pretty objective.
Left&Left @ 2:
I think they will. It's election season, after all. When this is over and done with either way they'll let him out of the doghouse, and both John and Elizabeth can carry on their work on poverty and health care.
"it's a convention not a gay pride parade!"
I was thinking that very thing when I saw that stupid photo.
Remind me, please... Who's Ron Jeremy?
Exactly!
I gotta bitch that you seem to post every single overtime that I didn't get a question on. And so far I think I got the overall record of 6 questions answered. (On that should have gone onto Blogga please if they didn't go over)
Oh well, still the questions were good.
Finally, Someone you can Trust for President

My Question of the Night:
Did David Brooks call the Obamas "uppity" in his column ("Speech To the Delegates") yesterday?
You be the judge -
"We got to know Barack and Michelle Obama, two tall, thin, rich, beautiful people who don’t perspire, but who nonetheless feel compassion for their squatter and smellier fellow citizens."

That's if she's alive.
Sarah Palin's church is connected with Joel's Army, a christian reconstructionist paramilitary group
http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2008/08/be_afraid_1.php
Everyone must read this article about ‘Joel's Army’ and be afraid. It's a movement by radical Dominionists to build an informal paramilitary organization (at this time, it seems to be more attitude than organization) to prepare to fight to impose a kind of Christian fascism on the world. It may be a group small in number (but not that small, I fear), but they have a lot of fanaticism and lunacy to amplify their power.

Fuck Myers.
Till this is picked up by a legit sources this is crap spewed from an asshole.
brakshow @ 18:
And that's if the story is a bunch of shit spewed by an asshole.
Troopergate redux! http://www.aksuperstation.com/news/local/26967749.html
Ron Jeremy? hell.. let's put Gene Simmons in there.
Then we can send the KISS Army into Iraq... and confuse the hell out of everybody!
He must be talking about Obama voting for the Bush/Cheney energy bill and promising more drilling and nuclear energy development in his acceptance speech.
Johnny @ 22:
He's a nice boy, I say he's a nice boy, but he's about as sharp as a bag of wet mice...
It was funny when Maher said Matthews and Olbermann were embarrassing in their love for Obama and probably wanted to have sex with him.
regarding Mahers' Presidents with extra-marital affairs quip, I think Georgie just hasn't been caught, the gay prostitute/Talon newsman, Gannon/Guckert's many late night visits to the White House have yet to be credibly explained.
Maybe it's some in high positions pay/threaten their liaisons better for their silence.
There is a Christian group who have started a boycott of Bill's new movie "Religulous".

i haven't seen much bill maher ...
his "new rules" commentary was wonderful to hear.
more bill maher!
Anyone remember back in the day with Maher was libertarian?? Does anyone really believe Edwards really believed in all that poverty stuff?
The woman from NPR was awful...Hillary supporters are not stupid. They will not vote for Palin!

End Corporate Rule
Matt Taibbi on Bill Maher with a segment that highlights the problem neither major party seems willing to address, the corporate ownership of our country. And while I except phony free speech zones from Republicans I find it distressing that the Democrats do the same thing.

$400 for a haircut, and quite a bit more for a little trim.
Great line!
Why don't the democrats still use Edwards?
Because that wouldn't be politically correct.
BUT, that's what's divinding our country. POLITICS.
Bill Maher RULZ!!!
I keep hoping he'll take over Rooney's spot on 60 Minutes (Is is Micky or Andy?)
That guy hasn't been funny or insightful for 30 aught years.
Granted Maher's not a journalist
But that never stopped katie couric.
Bill nails it again! Edwards is an important voice and he got pushed to the side. The ReThug party is full of crooks, but if you put your...brain where it's not supposed to be, you're just as guilty if not more in their eyes.
Here's to the future...if we have one.
A petition to Bishop Jeremiah J. Park to recover misused Church money
Dear Bishop Jeremiah J. Park:
Current and earlier events need the attention of your office because they will test the meaning of Christian values and of honor among Koreans.
Recently, you advocated, “No torture”, and with other religious luminaries you have marched to the United Nations to protest against the torture and abuse of suspected terrorists held at U.S. facilities in Guantanamo, Iraq, and Afghanistan. However, why have you not condemn the torture and abuse of the innocent members within your church?
Unwittingly it seems to appear the double standard of morality in the episcopacy as you overlooked the torture agony within a Methodist church.
In any event, the church should not be let alone in a Mafia image under your jurisdiction.
More specifically, Mr. Steve Park, and other church officers, had deliberately and consistently tortured and abused my family for many years while the church remained silent. He and his church underlings used the church’s name and trust fund to malign my family and me in order to rid of us from the church. It was to cover up the looting of the church money.
For instance, for one of the three frivoouls lawsuits, Mr. Park falsely accused my son and me that we planned to kill him, his family, his attorney, and other church members in one of his court depositions:
12 A “He said watch out, you asshole,
13 Specifically said you asshole, you watch out, if
14 You don’t watch your step; I’m going to kill you.
...
5 A “I’m going to kill your whole family.”
6 Q That’s what Dr. Sone said to you?
7 A “Yes.”
P. 62; 9-17, 21-23.
9 Q You’re claiming that Dr. Sone
10 threatened to kill you and your whole family?
11 A “Yes.”
Furthermore, he substantiated his assertion that more than 10 persons had witnessed our threats to murder. His witnesses included Reverend Wontae Cha, Y. S. Kim, K. D. Shin, Y. H. Lee, Y. J. Kim, D. J. Chun, Paul Choi, Y. J. Kwon, and I. C. Lee.
Rev. Cha is a good colleague of yours according to information.
Because of his false allegations, my son and I were on trial at the New York State Supreme Court in Nassau County. He used the church’s funds to finance his lawsuit against us. In his lawsuit, Mr. Park also demanded $4,000,000 in damages, while pushing us into the jail as felons.
His lawsuit had nothing to do with the church and was simply a personal vendetta against us. My only offense against Rev. Cha, Mr. Park and others was to strictly observe my fiduciary duty as the chairman of the Board to protect the church’s Building Fund. Nevertheless, according to the court records, officials from the church hierarchy and Steven Park had deceived the judge as if the case was a church-related during an ex-parte conference.
Now, Bishop Jeremiah J. Park must be responsible to identify the persons who were at the secretive meeting with the judge. He must investigate all and any conspiracy against the church and its members. The bishop’s actions matter much with the prestige of the episcopacy.
The year 2008 is the 87th anniversary of the Korean United Methoidst Church and Institute. Bishop Jeremiah J. Park, Reverend Won Tae Cha, Steven Park, Young So Kim and other such characters one day must come to the church and faithfully explain to the worshippers for the justification of the looting for either personal gain or criminal racketeering against the innocent loyal members.
The cowardly leadership owes an explanation to the fellow church members about the mismanagement of church finances: For example, an $180,000 building renovation contract lost for nothing. It only enriched the related parties. Or, another example when the chairman of the board of trustees embezzled $70,000 he is awarded with church money to pay for his legal fees and for part of his embezzlement. Also his faction paid the fines for the sanctions and the contempt of court with the trust fund although they had to pay. Another irony is Methoidst Mission Fund donated $50,000 to the trust as if an incentive to the looting
The judge and NYS Attorney General advised to recover the funds from the abusers. But, why anyone in the church leadership has done anything about these malfeasances?
Now, the time has come to your office to clarify the ultimate moral issues. On July 15, 2007, the church decided to hire a certified public accountant (excluding Korean CPA) to audit the church finances starting from year 2000. The audit is to determine if any fraud has occurred. But, since then, Reverend Chang, the current pastor, who is a friend of yours according to information, has not yet started it.
The church must recover the stolen funds from Mr. Park and the embezzlers. Perhaps, the church may file an insurance claim for the stolen funds so that the insurance company can compensate them. But, you, the bishop, must enforce church rules and order to help this church recover financially as well as morally. Otherwise, the church has no standing as “a light house” to the dark world.
Now, remember that any decent mind cannot allow our historic church to be built on the foundation of the age-old scandals, but on “the rock”. Most of all, the church should be liberated from evil capitulation still in power. If Mr. Park and others like him have succeeded to scapegoat the church scandals on an innocent family, then they would have said, “Halleluiah!!” The church should be maintained as a house of prayer, but a “den of robbers.” (Matthew 21; 13)
Without any further delay, you must recognize that the Korean United Methodist Church and Institute has been under the control of the spiritually-dead clergies and criminals who are filled with demons, falsehoods, hatreds, and deception. It does appear to be a moral crisis of the Korean Church, the NY Annual Conference, and, perhaps, the United Methodist denomination.
I am praying for your spiritual victory in good faith and for the renewal of our historic church. The Book of Discipline guarantees open meetings and free speech. Why can’t we have an open debate for the renewal at the church or a public media? The congregation wants your spiritual leadership as the bishop of the NY Annual Conference as well as the top church leader of the Korean immigrant Christian community.
Please let me remind your office that it is my duty and mission to continuously protect the church’s common interests, according to the church’s rules and the Christian teachings. That is my only way to seek justice and to restore our family name as I have learned from the church throughout my life.
Alas! The church is spiritually, morally broken as it is now.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Chae S. Sone and family
