ALL 'news' is glorified gossip.

The show is, first, a comedy show
and
MANY people are too chicken to come on the show.

They cannot force guests to attend

i have a feeling the morality of post WW1 has caught up with us. in conjunction with how easy the post WW2 baby boomers had it. thats why its so easy to bitch and moan about and do nothing about what ur f'ed upped goverment does to you and the rest of the world.
we seized control, took everybody down. and now we pay. we are a fat lazy nation of gluttons. now the new world order starts...

Why is it that if you work for a bank you do not need to have a state license to originate Home Loans? The answer: Banks spent hundreds of millions of dollars lobbying so that there employees who originate home loans would not have to pass state exams nor would they have to pay the fees or take the mandatory training each year that non bank lender employees have to take. Example: The state of MA has every loan orginator pay a $500 fee each year to renew their license, 28 hours of classes (cost around $500) and a test (another cost) and if you do not pass the test you cannot originate loans. These are great regulations that will help protect the public so how do Banks get away with this? Just because you are a Federal Bank doesn't mean your employees do not need to be aware of state laws! Democrats are in control taking the money from lobbyists

I have watched your show this season and I have to say that it's getting a little old. You never have anyone of substance argue against your point. Your like a heavy weight prize fighter who keeps fighting one bad boxer after the next. Not sure of the intelligence of your audience who continues to laugh after ever jab you make against an opponent who has his arms tide and in some cases your just shadow boxing because the opponent doesn't even exist. I would like to come on your show and have the chance to rebut, if I do you better have more than a few actors lobbying for your point because I will make them look like school girls waiting in line for the pull up contest in gym class. I will part with this: Obama and the National Media sitting in a tree K I S S I N G first comes love then comes marriage then come no news because "the tie goes to Obama every time" I want my media back and I don't want to have to watch fox every day to get it!

To Mr. Bill Maher,
The spirit in my heart ?Hopes? that a little sunshine will open the eyes of many. My soul is a little scared as I type this, but I feel I must. I think your show is one of the top 3 that I watch. 1st being ?CBS Good Morning America?, 2nd ? Diners, Dives, and Drive Inn?s?, number 3, ? The Bill Maher Show?, Sorry!
I try to watch all of your shows. The show that your face expressed the most disbelief was the one you,
Your panel were discussing about the secret society the politician were joining, or already members.
The question was about if you were caught sexual assaulting a child. Would you be punished? The
Answer was ? No?; the members were above the law and everyone else. It was scary to myself, my wife,
and your panel. You have people hired to figure out all of the names. The name that is stuck in my mind
is Todd Tiahrt from Kansas. I watched Oprah the other day, about all the missing children. Where have they all been taken? John Walsh of the TV show ?Americas Most Wanted? had a bill passed in Congress, named after his son. The bill would organize the 100,000 registered sex offenders into one computer. The reasoning so all agencies would be able to watch and track all of them. Right now they can not. No money? The government has failed to act after 3 yrs. It looks like the secret society that they are all trying to join, or already members, are picking the kids up and molesting the kids themselves. Because! They are above everyone else. Kids are being taken by eye witnesses at gun point, NOT FUCKING ALIENS!!!!!!!!! I know you do not believe in ?GOD?, Bill. ?GOD? is just a more powerful word that was made when they took the ?O? out of ?GOOD! I know you, myself, and everyone that you let set on your panel, wants ?GOOD? of the civilized world. I really think ?GOOD? is trying to win hear, Bill. I surely ?Hope? it does! This is another show, but I have told my theory of why they shot President Kennedy to a few of the Vietnam Veterans, in which I have had the chance to discuss the topic. Most have had a funny look come across their faces, one had a tear run down his face, and one did not look up his work ,??..and added to my theory. He would not let me look at his face. Bill, I think what ever happened or entered our government in the 60?s with it intent to destroy the American Family?s Dream is about to win. Unless WE STAND UP LIKE OUR FOREFATHERS AND MAKE A STAND! I think they were all fighting for ?GOOD? too. ( Might as well blame it on aliens, no-one else will take the blame!! I hope this brought a smile to your face,
My wife and I both love your show!

So Bill, why is it that when a white youth is set on fire by five youths that were of another race no one stands up and screams "HATE CRIME" or that is was a racial issue. But if it was five white kids setting one black youth or one mexican youth on fire everyone in the community would be having rallies and press confrences.
What do you think?

The season finale could have been better. Bill seemed like he was in a bad mood. I didn't like that comment he made to Alex Baldwin about dissing out some of his dirt or I didn't sleep with my interns. What was that all about. I think he really needs this vacation. Hope he comes back refreshed. maybe it's female problems.

Yes, the prisons and jails are for-profit.
Why are we in Afghanistan? Could it be the same reason we went to Vietnam, Cambodia & Laos? Poppy fields. Heroin distribution to all nations for profit.
