Choke and a Bluecoat Shot
Oh geez...a woman talking about a cat. I probably shouldn't add fuel to the fire, but...did you see the video of that huge, fat cat? It was all over the news a month ago.— October 7, 2008 1:50 a.m.

Well reddragon...you are in correct saying "if there is no God, then he just made a movie about nothing." His movie was about PEOPLE that believed in God. And, people that didn't ask questions, just had blind faith. Whereas, he just wonders why nobody questions someone living in a "big fish" for 3 days, or a million different bugs and animals, on a ship with Noah. And Maher never said he doesn't believe in God. He said exactly what everyone SHOULD say (no matter what religion they believe/belong to). And that is, "I really don't know. NOBODY knows." I also don't think Maher thinks about "god" a lot. I think he does when things happen like someone believing so much in THEIR way, that they go on suicide missions, or take planes into buildings. Or they hate, and don't want anyone in their family, to marry someone that isn't the same race/relgion, etc.— October 5, 2008 9:52 p.m.
O.J. Simpson GUILTY!
thanks, brian. i'd love it if he got 23 years in the clink. he's 61 now, so...that's the rest of his life. but, some legal expert on a show was talking, and casually said "he'll probably do 5 to 10 years in prison." not sure why he said that.— October 5, 2008 9:45 p.m.
100 Greatest Stand-Up Comics Ever

Milroy Harrison tells how he restores a painting
I can imagine a lot of ways the elbow went thru it. When I was a kid, and collected sports cards, my mom bought me this huge picture frame, that was a baseball field. And, each position had a spot for a card. First base, second, centerfield, pitcher, etc. I was putting all autographed rookie cards (the most valuable), in their places. Ozzie Smith at short stop. Nolan Ryan on the pitchers mound. I forgot what position Robin Yount played...maybe 3rd base. As I was sliding it in, the card got stuck. I used a pen to sort of, gently, push it farther down the glass so it would show. The pen went into the card, totally ripping it. Making the value go from about $40, to about $4. He could've been walking down the stairs, and tripped. Who knows. I do remember when the story came out, they mentioned something really odd. It had to do with him having bad vision, or some such thing. I can't remember now, but they were trying to imply that he had a condition that made it more likely he would do something like this. Which, just makes me wonder...why he's even handling something that expensive then.— October 4, 2008 1:36 a.m.

Well Joaquin, you have a bit of a point. I mean, early in the movie, he goes to a chapel for truckers. One guy is ready to beat him up. Another says he was addicted to drugs and women (to whim Maher says "what's wrong with that?"). And, although I'm not religious, I do think religion can serve a good purpose. It can keep a lot of people (like these truckers) on the right path. If they want to believe a guy with a long white beard and robe, is going to judge them, and that makes them live better lives...go for. Don't convince them they're wrong! Maher also tends to say the same thing over and over. Whereas, he could've gone on different tangents, like telling the religious people that God probably wouldn't fault him for not believing, or not being sure, about his presence. And, I think that's the point elmnt is sort of making. IF there is a God, I don't think someone like Maher has a thing to worry about. I'd think that murders, rapists, and...Catholic priests that molest kids...probably do. Not a guy that asks questions and provokes.— October 4, 2008 1:19 a.m.

The Girlfriend, Part Deux
I dunno. I just get the feeling girlfriends are trying to kill me. And, at the hands (or, jaws) of animals! The last one said pit bulls weren't dangerous. And, just yesterday, a 5-year-old died from a pit bull attack (in her own yard). I love on that list of things NOT to do to sharks was "provoke" them. So...if I'm swimming, and I see that dorsal fin, I'm not to start flicking it, or trying to go for a ride on its back or anything. Yeah, we already got tickets for Hawaii, so I guess it's a done deal.— October 2, 2008 10:55 a.m.
