Conerns about Ryan, Jays @ Braves
Blue Jays manager Cito Gaston indicated today that the club has some concerns about closer B.J. Ryan, whose pitch velocity is lower than it has been in the past. Ryan is hitting 84-86 mph regularly, compared to being between 86-90 last year.
"We're just kind of searching for answers right now," pitching coach Brad Arnsberg said. "We're trying a little bit of everything. I've watched film on him and pulled up three years ago and pulled up last year and it's just a little bit of an oddity right now to me."
Arnsberg said he and Ryan have been working on some mechanical adjustments to hopefully help create more pitch speed. One issue is that Arnsberg said Ryan's cutter and four-seam fastball are registering at about the same velocity right now.
When asked if the Jays might consider using other pitchers in the ninth-inning role should this issue persist, Gaston didn't say no. Ryan is the closer, but Gaston said he felt, knowing Ryan, that the pitcher would probably come to him and be honest about his ability to contribute if this continues to be a problem.

Other items: The Jays haven't heard from Matt Clement yet about whether he will accept an assignment to Triple-A. Toronto will likely know by Friday or Saturday. … Casey Janssen had a cortisone shot after injuring his right shoulder last Thursday and played catch for the first time since the injury on Tuesday. … Something to keep in mind about the bullpen race: Of the four right-handers vying for three open spots, Jason Frasor and Jeremy Accardo both have a player option remaining. They can be sent down without needing to be passed through waivers first, and neither have enough service time to refuse a Minor League assignment.
PARCHED: A little disappointed in the Wide World of Sports complex here. Now, the free media lunch was much appreciated and quite delicious, but this might be the only park where you can't get a bottle of water! Not all of us drink pop, you know. Good thing I brought one from home. Otherwise, this could've been a bad day.

JB.whats wrong with beer.lol.
G.I wonder what happend to bosox it's been a long time since he has posted on this blog.
HA. I can't drink beer while I'm working. Besides, I had plenty of Coronas on the beach yesterday. Need a break from the brewskies…
The beach, It's winter in Sask. Dont you wish you were here.lol.
Sounds like Enigma was right about Ryan-man, is that a problem and unusual since most guys pick up velocity after Tommy John. He could be done, which is kissing 20 mill. goodby.
No way can they keep him on the MLB roster at that velocity, if it doesn't improve, they should waiver him to AAA and hope someone claims him.
I doubt if anyone picks him up so he can work at getting his velocity back in Vegas. He can't get work at the MLB level unless we want him to get wacked every time out.
Actually, I thought Bosox and Indigo had taken off together since neither of them had posted for a while.
You are either trying to scare me away or give me nightmares…..lol….
I noticed that scare you away thing in the last thread. I don't want to scare you or anyone else away and I'm sorry if my posting style gives you that feeling.
If that's what you really think, maybe it's time for me to leave the blog.
Keep up the good work JB.
Gosh no, I am joking . I have a rather twisted sense of humour and unfortunately with the written word you don't get the inflection of a voice . I apologize if you felt I was even remotely serious .
Indigo-GOTCHA, lol. What's not to like about twisted.
Not, a particulary good outing from Mills, certainly put Romero, MIlls and Richmond in a dead heat.
So it's true that Ryan's velocity is down. That isn't terrible news bullpen wise because they have a few guys who can step into the ninth inning role. The problem is, as G.S. mentioned, his big salary. On a team that just had its payroll cut that's a steep investement for a guy who looks like can't perform to what he should anymore. He was shaky last year with a high 80's fastball, I can't imagine he'll be better with mid 80's stuff.
I read Jordan's article on Ryan and one thing that has me a little relieved is that he's allegedly throwing harder in the 'pen. Don't know how that works but if that's the case, it may be just mechanics.
I don't think Mills had that bad an outing, not his best day 10 hits but he still kept us in the game, it could have been worse.
Kate i can't belive you fell for it.lol.
The thing about Mills is he's had two opportunities to close the deal and hasn't performed well. Romero-under huge pressure in his last start performed better. So it's over the Richmond, let's see how he does. I feel for Cito, cause he's running out of time to make the decisions.
Enigma-Ya guys hit better in batting practise too-there's no umpires in the bullpen. I as well hope its mechanics, we shall see. I seem to remember Ryan at 90-92 before he went down, so he has a long way to go-unless I'm wrong.
Garry ,
Are you saying I should have called gs' bluff ? I knew it …lol….
Does it really matter what young pitchers we decide to go north with? I imagine that most of them still have multiple options, and can be brought up and sent down as needed based on their individual performances. I have a feeling that this year's version of the Jays is going to hit enough to stay around .500 no matter how mediocre the pitching is.
Well put Burt, i agree completely, its really out of discussion, no one is running away with a job, nice to see Purcey do so well so at least we dont have to question him. I think Vernon is a pure number 4 hitter and he will show that this year, ideally Rios would be awesome at leadoff but that will only happen if Snider mashes well enough to move to 4 and bump Wells back to the 3 hole.
From multiple other blogs, it sounds like that 85-86 mph for Ryan is his one in every 5-6 pitches and low 80's is more the norm, and it's been like that from day one of spring training.
So all the crap we were told initially of a control problem which caused his poor performance was another JP lie. Why is that a surprise, there's tickets to be sold, bumbs to put in seats and all like that. Pathetic way to treat the fan base, but consistent with JP.
So why bring him north? Why would we consider bringing Ryan instead of a healthy Frasor or one of the other guys on the bubble, who will give us innings we'll need with a young pitching staff?
Ryan's era of 10.8 in spring training will look good compared to what it will be if we put him in games against the Yanks or Boston. They'll light him up like the Times Square Christmas tree.
Waive Ryan to AAA, let him work it out down there if it's possible and pray someone picks him up from-although no one will. And get ready to kiss 20 million US goodby.
Not all of us even "say" pop! So, how's Barrett looking for the back up catcher role? If he can regain his skills pre-injury, he could be a great second catcher.
I bet Barrett will be the backup catcher, he looks good so far this year.
I like the way Cito said Ryan will tell us if he feels he can't compete on this level like he did for the WBC. It sort of puts the weight on Ryans shoulders not Citos to make a decision on whether he can close or not.
I like many others said to trade him last Winter, But it's to late now.Today we will see what he is like.
I suspect Barrett will win the job as well.
In a Toronto Star article today, it sounds like management are thinking of leaving Ryan in Dunedin to open the season and bring Frasor and Accardo north. The spin positions Ryan in a similar position as League was last year. I suspect that means putting Ryan on the dl.
I guess this is a better political move for JP. Of course, it's possible Ryan's contract is insured,in which case the dl is the desired option.
Of course, Ryan might magically get his velocity back, but somehow I just don't think that's going happen. I hope I'm wrong.

Church Seals
Church Seals were in use among the Mennonite congregations in Prussia, Poland, and Russia, from where this practice was transplanted to America. The best sources for the study of church seals are the church letters brought along by Mennonite immigrants of 1874. Some congregations, such as the Bethel Mennonite Church and Hoffnungsau Mennonite Church, Inman, Kansas, and the Brudertal Mennonite Church, Hillsboro, Kansas, have preserved the church letters of the charter members brought along from various congregations in Russia, Poland, and Prussia, all of which are signed by the elders who affixed the seals of the congregation to them. The seal, usually round or oval, had the name of the congregation around a symbol or picture in the center. Two commonly used themes in the picture were John the Baptist baptizing Jesus in the Jordan (Margenau, Pordenau, Lichtenau, Petershagen, Berdyansk, etc.), and the open Bible (Rudnerweide, Obernessau, Gnadenfeld, Karassan, Alexanderwohl, etc.). Sometimes the cross, the cup, an anchor, or other symbols were added to the Bible. Some congregations used a wax seal.
Most of the Mennonite congregations of the prairie states and provinces of direct European origin, as well as those of Mexico and Paraguay, still have a church seal which is used to impress the official documents of the church. The seal usually bears the name of the church and possibly a Scripture passage and is used on baptismal certificates, church letters, and other statements or correspondence.
In the Netherlands only the church of Aardenburg possesses a seal. It shows a lamb on a pasture and is surrounded by the legend: De Kerck het Lam tot Aerdenburgh.

The Civil Wars have canceled all of their tour dates, according to a message posted on their Facebook page Tuesday afternoon (Nov. 6). The Grammy-winning duo cited "internal discord and irreconcilable differences of ambition" in the posting as the reason for the cancelations.
They were in the midst of a European tour when the announcement was made.
"We sincerely apologize for the canceling of all of our tour dates. It is something we deeply regret. However, due to internal discord and irreconcilable differences of ambition, we are unable to continue as a touring entity at this time. We thank each and every one of you for your amazing love and support. Our sincere hope is to have new music for you in 2013," said the posting, which was attributed to both members, Joy Williams and John Paul White.
In a note at the end of the message, the duo also offered to reimburse fans for travel expenses that may be incurred due to their "abrupt cancelations."
As previously announced, the duo will release a VH1 Unplugged EP next week. They were also featured with Taylor Swift on "Safe & Sound," a track from the Hunger Games film soundtrack.
In February, the Civil Wars won Grammys for best country duo/group performance for "Barton Hollow" as well as folk album of the year for the album of the same name. They were named duo/group of the year at the recent Americana Music Honors and Awards in Nashville and were also nominated in the vocal duo category at the CMA Awards last week.

Homes near Monroe propane storage site get gas detectors
Detection of vapors near site spur move
Some homeowners are getting gas detectors as part of an investigation into possible leaks from a nearby storage site.
State Fire Marshal Larry Flowers joined officials from Enterprise Products and Butler County Emergency Management Agency to provide public awareness about precautionary measures being taken in response to a recent detection of propane vapors near the company's storage facility at 3590 Yankee Road in Monroe.
Flowers said that though no definitive link has been made between the detected propane gas and the company's terminal, local fire officials, supported by Enterprise, are distributing carbon monoxide/gas detectors for propane vapors to 76 homeowners within a half-mile of the facility.
"I don't expect that anyone will have positive gas detections on these propane detectors, but I'm also not one that takes chances with the public safety. The best solution to a problem is to prevent it from happening to begin with and that's what we're seeking to do here," Flowers said.
Enterprise's Middletown facility includes underground storage caverns that store propane and butane products for fuel in such applications as home heating, outdoor gas grills and cigarette lighters.

Flyers sign (D) Kurtis Fosterby Staff Writer / Philadelphia Flyers
The Philadelphia Flyers announced today that they have agreed to contract terms with 6-5, 225-lb free agent defenseman Kurtis Foster, according to general manager Paul Holmgren.
Foster will wear uniform No. 3 at Flyers Training Camp.
Foster, 31 (11/24/1981), is entering his 11th professional season. He split time in the 2011-12 season with Anaheim, Minnesota and New Jersey, appearing in a total of 51 games with four goals and 10 assists for 14 points, while averaging 15:54 of ice time.
Foster was drafted by Calgary in the 2nd round (40th overall) of the 2000 NHL Entry Draft, but had his rights traded to Atlanta in a 2001 deal. He made his NHL debut with the Thrashers on March 31, 2003 at the New York Rangers.
Foster signed with the Minnesota Wild as a free agent following the 2004-05 NHL lockout and spent the next four seasons with the club. He then made stops in Tampa Bay in 2009-10 and Edmonton in 2010-11 before being traded to Anaheim prior to last season.
The Flyers will open their shortened training camp today at The Virtua Center Flyers Skate Zone, with the first on-ice session taking place at 11 a.m. Practices will continue throughout the week, including an open-to-the-public practice at the Wells Fargo Center at 6pm on Thursday, January 17.
Single-game tickets for all 24 Flyers regular season home games will go on sale on Tuesday, January 15 at 10 a.m. Tickets will be available via ComcastTIX on line at ComcastTIX.com, by phone at 1-800-298-4200 or in person at Wells Fargo Center box office.
It's time! The highly anticipated 2012-13 Flyers season is now underway. For the latest ticket information including single games, full or partial packages, call 215-218-PUCK (7825) or visit PhiladelphiaFlyers.com.

The sci-fi smash "Inception" and the Facebook drama "The Social Network" took top screenplay honors Saturday night at the Writers Guild Awards.
"Inception" writer Christopher Nolan won for best original screenplay and "The Social Network" writer Aaron Sorkin won for best adapted screenplay. The awards were handed out by the Writers Guild of America in simultaneous ceremonies at the Renaissance Hollywood Hotel in Los Angeles and the AXA Equitable Center in New York.

U.S. & World
"The Social Network," which Sorkin adapted from the Ben Mezrich book "The Accidental Billionaires," was expected to win Saturday. But the original screenplay category was considered a toss-up between "Inception," the psychosexual thriller "Black Swan" and the boxing drama "The Fighter" because current awards-season darling "The King's Speech" was not eligible for a WGA award as it was not made under the writing union's contract guidelines.
Other of the top films of 2010 like "Toy Story 3" and "Winter's Bone" were ineligible for the same reason.

Sorkin will be the prohibitive favorite in the adapted category, and "The King's Speech" and "Inception" will vie for original screenplay honors at the Academy Awards on Feb. 27.
"The Social Network," was also considered an early favorite for a best picture Oscar. But it has been trumped in recent award ceremonies including the Golden Globes and Producers Guild Awards by "The King's Speech," which features Colin Firth as the stammering father of Queen Elizabeth II and is expected to sweep several categories on Oscar night.
In other WGA categories, Charles Ferguson, Chad Beck and Adam Bolt won best documentary screenplay honors for "Inside Job," a chronicle of the 2008 economic meltdown.

And large teams of writers from AMC's "Mad Men" and ABC's "Modern Family" won for best drama and comedy series, respectively.

While working in the animation world for 10 to 15 years, I developed a passion for photography and a love for the natural world and landscape photography. This was initially shaped during a gap year by the stunning and dramatic scenery in Australia, United States, Canada and particularly in New Zealand.
Commissioned work for hotels and travel brochures in the likes of Cyprus, Turkey and Egypt has enabled me to produce more personal work in the United States in recent years.

The Invention of Tradition
Many of the traditions which we think of as very ancient in their origins were not in fact sanctioned by long usage over the centuries, but were invented comparatively recently. This book explores examples of this process of invention – the creation of Welsh and Scottish 'national culture'; the elaboration of British royal rituals in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; the origins of imperial rituals in British India and Africa; and the attempts by radical movements to develop counter-traditions of their own. It addresses the complex interaction of past and present, bringing together historians and anthropologists in a fascinating study of ritual and symbolism which poses new questions for the understanding of our history.

George Carlin was an intelligent, thoughtful, insightful comedian. I heard your recent jokes about Sarah Palin, which contained none of those qualities. You insulted women, and you insulted Alaskans. You need to grow up, and you have some apologizing to do.

Just started watching your show - thought you were quite witty before but starting to wonder - you sure seem obsessed by the new Republican VP pick - could it be it has you worrying a bit? Lot of time devoted to a 'non person from Alaska whose Down's Syndrom son could have been linked to Edwards' - nice touch, Bill, real class. Well, I am not judgemental so will give her a try before making such swift executions on her persona. I could go either way in the elecetion, but with more people like you on the ultra left you are probably giving her a real boost in the ratings. Sure that's the opposire of what you intended but oh, well... we reap what we sow.

Lighten the F up Kate and Vicki, Bill is a COMEDIAN, a person who says funny things ( or is it "who says things funny"...)
All I can say about Palin's daughter is WHERE THE HELL WAS JOHN EDWARDS 5 MONTHS AGO??? But seriously...
Palin needs to have A Sisterhood of the Travelling Placenta tube tying party for her entire family.
Too many kids!
I do like her though I have to admit, religious whacko views aside. But compared to the Taliban, I'd have to call her a moderate.
I loved George Carlin since AM/FM snuck into my record collection in 6th grade, unbeknownst to my parents, but I VEHEMENTLY disagree with him , that we deserved 9/11 for our sins, a secular version of Fallwell's view. We threaten the religous hierarchy in the Mid East, and the poor there are encouraged to take one for Allah by blowing us up. It is another example of religion gone amuck.

Dear Bill, you are the ONLY PERSON in this country with whom I agree 100% on everything. It is pretty rare, since I am European and I have a hard time to share the beliefs of the American people. I cannot wait to see your documentary because this country is brainwashed by religious freaks and America is left behind in ignorance.How can a country like the US be still debating about abortion???? All the other industrialized countries in the world ( I know it is big news for the majority of Americans who believe anywhere else is 3rd world)have already approved freedom of choice, granted it back in the 60's and 70's and have moved on!
As for Sarah Palin, I totally agree with you and I cannot understand how she can be pro guns and pro life at the same time. Americans are filling their emotional "voids" with religion. Keep it up Bill, you are my absolute hero.

How dare you insult anyone (including her parents) in that manner? I have watched your show many times and frankly I still think You are as stupid as you look!!! and you couldn't look nor sound more stupid...
Where I come from you wouldn't be safe on the streets after that comment. Actually, there's a lot of places in this country where you won't be safe. Grizzlies are indiscriminate with their appetites and violent tempers... no Political pandering where they're concerned.

You're a real class act! Especially the joke about Sarah Palins down-syndrome baby! Now that's real comedy.....if you like fools such as yourself. It's obvious this Alaskan Governor has the left-wing liberal radicals like you and your friends scared to death! Maybe you could explain that to your audience. Could it be that she is an upstanding courageous woman that portrays the American way of life as how it should be? Probably., and it scares you socialists to death because most of mainstream America doesn't buy into your radical ideals. I've often wondered why you far-left liberals don't just move to say a third-world country where they practice socialism. Wouldn't you have that warm-fuzzy socialist feeling if you lived there? But no........you clowns continue to bash America. Tell us the truth Maher, you've got it great here in America don't you. You've got it all! More than most and you still hate it here. Guess I just don't get it.

should be ashamed. I cannot believe
with tne vast numbers of animals owners in this country there is no public outcry . Well it just goes to show you unless you are helpless
wolf pup,no one really cares .Believe me if this ever got out at the level the pig wearing lipstick story did ,she could never show her face in public again

Mr. Maher, I just saw you on the Conan show, and have to say I am a thinking person who believes in God, and you didn't sway me one inch by your sarcastic and mocking attitude toward religion. You appear to assume that anyone who has sincere religious beliefs is a fool, and anyone with sense disregards religion.
You statements and attitude are so limited, narrow minded, and wrong it is not even worth mentioning. Are you saying that Isaac Newton was a fool, that George Washington was a fool? You are looking at the world through your OWN narrow lens obviously, because millions of THINKING people actually believe in God.
You made the comment that most people who call themselves Christian have not actually read the Bible, and/or do not understand it. Did you happen to speak with someone who does have a decent knowledge, like a theologian or well-respected minister? I'll bet not. Did you examine objectively the arguments of well-respected creationist theorists?
All you are doing with this new movie is promoting YOUR OWN OPINIONS, for whatever reason. I am a thinking person who happens to believe in God. You did not say or show anything at all to sway me on the Conan show, either by reason or by evidence. I hope other people realize this also and don't simply buy into your statements as the studio audience seemed to.

When I was young and heard Carlin's very fun skit on dirty words, I didn't really understand the real genius of it, for I just found it entertaining and funny... but the real genius was that he was using humor to get us to reevaluate why we are so gullible to believe things because someone says its so, like why a word can't be spoken on TV or radio, as he later in his career tried to do pointing out the sillyness of religion... but now we have Bill Maher taking the reigns of that cause... good luck for the odds against you making a significan difference in the idiocy of how people think are very slim.. the idiocy gene may be of some evolutionary value?

Much More Than Seven Words
George Denis Patrick Carlin
May 12, 1937 – June 22, 2008
Although he really wasn't
Everybody's cup of tea
He was, a great comic
And he was, very funny.
He made fun of everyone
And of society's flaws
He was arrested for it
They said, "You broke our laws!"
His, "Seven Dirty Words"
Are some, that some won't say
But, a part of our language
And, always been that way.
His bit, played on the radio
And a man's son, heard
But, his dad let him listen
And that's kinda absurd.
He complained to the FCC
It went to the Supreme Court
George lost it, five to four
But didn't stop, his retort.
A Grammy winner, actor
Author, and philosopher
He was true to himself
Said what he thought, for sure!
Considered the second best
Of all those funny men
I doubt we'll see another
As good as him, again.
He surely was no angel
He doubted, "The Pearly Gate"
If there is, and he gets there
They'll probably make him wait;~)

Hi Bill,
Great topics-religion and philosophy. I love it. The onset of existence is a mystery. It is impossible that the first human being was a result of procreation. Therefore, immaculate conception cannot be ruled out. The first monkey was not procreated either (please don't tell me that I'm decended from genetically mutated apes). As far as the existence of God, it is nonsensical to conclude that organized matter such as trees, people, animals, and nature developed the form they now take without an intelligent designer. Matter without design and organization might resemble somthing like the matter in the old classic movie, "The Blob". I believe what Aristotle said when he wrote that there is a Cause for everything. The Cause of matter taking form is the intelligent designer....the Cosmic Engineer.

I have been watching Bill Maher ( I think Maher has a Persian origin) for a few years now and there is no doubt that he is extremely intelligent and questioning. There are issues with American policy across it's waves and these policies have always been adopted by powerful nations, later to be plagued by the same policies. Let us not forget, please, that 90% of the troubles in the Middle-East are the direct result of British, French and German policies during the 19th century. The British were the ones that caused the political divide in Palestine in the 1940s just as they did in South Africa and in India. Africa is in the sham that it is in now completely due to European activity during the 19th and early 20th century. Often these factors are ignored. America is the largest player therefore it gets the largest blame. The British try to occupy a high moral ground when discussing wars and occupations and ironically till 5 years ago Northern Ireland was occupied territory. How does that work? All the countries that claimed and won independence from British rule after 1945 did so not because they took advantage of a suddent development of British moral conscience, but because the British were bankrupt, and forced to release countries under their rule to go their own way. All our global problems with Islamic fundamentalism stems from these actions. After WW1 the British and the French decided to punish the Turks and created artificial countries now called Iraq and Arabia. Maps were redrawn, people were displaced, languages were destroyed and roots severed. Why is the Middle-east in turmoil? When a human being develops problems as an adult we are anxious to explore his/her past for the answers. Why does this not apply to countries. After all all countries are compositions of people with a past, or subsequently without a past. I would like to see Bill Maher, as an outspoken and intelligent champion, to discuss some of these issues and I am sure he would agree that there is a lot oh humor and comedy in history. As Alan Alda remarked in a Woody Allen film, "Comedy is tragedy plus time."
I would like to add one more token to this clip of my personal beliefs and that is that Bill Maher needs a side kick on his show. Two opinions carry more vote.

Hello Bill, ALL THE WAY from ARGENTINA. You know, I like your show, I listen to it religiously on my IPOD, and REALLY appreciate you're effort to say things as you see them. We need more of it. The rest of the media sucks. But ... alas ... on the campaign, you're just as full of it as you accuse the Repubs of being (may I clarify, I don't like the repubs). You're attack on Palin suggesting that she couldn't read a map of the Middle East was pretty lame ... but let me ask you, could How many americans, or for tham matter, how many people in politics, or frankly, you? Do you know where Belarus is? Can you find Georgia on a map? Or can you tell me what continent Surinam is in? I'll be the first to say I REALLY want the Repubs out of office, but frankly, Obama and the media (and you're one of the media) SCREWED IT UP BIGTIME, thinking you could get this noname black dude from Chicago to rally an empty media frenzy. What it looks like to me (and down here I've seen several) is a perfectly good old fashion COUP D'ETAT against Hilary. It was clear that Hilary was the candidate, she got more votes, and she would have taken the Superdelegate Vote had the media played fair. It was very curious to me when she won W.Virginia by a 42% spread NOT ONE MAJOR newspaper in the USA ran the numbers, they all said things like 'hilary wins by big margin', ya, fuking 42% big! Your jokes on Palin ARE FUNNY nonetheless, and she probably deserves every bit of it from her rather incredulous remarks, but I remind Americans, I think Bush looked like more of an idiot when he debted Gore, and he was the PRESIDENTIAL candidate. That didn't seem to scare off the red States. And then, after four years of uselessness, I remember sitting up one night down here in Argentina as the Bush reelection votes came in and thinking to myself, damn, can these people be so stupid to elect this guy again! And they were, and they did. I think Palin is about 100 points better than BUSH the first time around, so hold on to your seat and fear red. The problem with your show lately is that you are disgustingly soooooooo pro-OBAMA that it looks pathetic, particularly when you give absolutely no room to your guests to be Politically Incorrect, which used to be what you were about, I think the pro-republican people have undermined you, and now, at least while the elections live, you're just another biased media dude. Really, I think your show is a great opportunity to say what one feels, but you don't seem to like it when people think differently from you, you're putting your hatred for the repubs, above your essence. Bad move, cause it shows right through your teeth. Tough choice I presume, I am just as much against the repubs as you are, and if I were Bill Maher I would probably do the same, but I am not, I'm a fan, and I have the right to turn you off and on as I please, and you're losing me. I think you need to deal with this Obama guy more honestly. He never really shows any knoledge of how things work, he just looks and speaks smooth, and the media and the intellectuals love it. But that doesn't win elections. Political saavy does. Does he have it? I am not sure he does. You hark on Palin, but sorry to say, she's got more executive experience than all of the other three candidate put together and multiplied by four, whether you and your guests like it or not, you WILL have to swallow on this one! She may be bad, she may be illiterate, she may have no cultural knowlege, but then again, did Bush when he won the first election? At the end of the day, I really want the repubs out, but O's sly coup over Hilary makes him look like what he really seems to be, a good old conservtive harvard grad macho black dude in sheeps' clothing who woke up one day as America's postmodernist political choice for president! Maybe I am a die hard hilary fan (which really, I am not) but after what I have seen happen to her, in makes me nausious to think that O might win this after such a fradulent campaing. I would understand Hilary supporters swinging to red just to spite this guy. I am glad I am in Argentina!

Something no one has mentioned about Christians that I find really frustrating is the fact that there is a huge division between them. No one has politically used or even acknowledged this in an attempt to split up this silly far right group of twits. The truth is "born agains" despise Roman Catholics, Jews, and any other denomination that aren't "born again", that is that haven't specifically joined their little club of salvation. They are contemptuous of them, something that most Catholics and organized groups are unaware of. Bill, bring this up!!! I think if more of the mainstream religious groups of this country realized that "born agains" believe that only they are going to their little personal heaven you might see a little crack in that moral right foundation.

dear bill,
i have a question for you... i live in shreveport, LA (sigh, yep, that redneck city that arrested some of the actors in oliver stone's movie W>) i cannot afford hbo, so i just have to settle for little glimpses on the daily show, larry king, charlie rose, whatever... i have been a fan since i was 16 (approx 15 years).... my fiance and i were looking forward to your movie and when we tried to see it, we were not completely surprised to discover that it isn't playing here.
unfortunately, the majority of my home town thinks that if you complain about the government then you are not a "patriot".... this is to illustrate the mentality of about 70% of the shreveport population. (seriously, the other 30% makes it all worth while)
the truth is, just because you love the IDEA of america you do not have to love the corrupt bastards that are wiping their asses with the constitution....
and i can totally see those same assholes making a big deal about your movie... so, my question is this: is there anything i can do?

Never have I seen the Christian right misconstrue the teachings of Jesus Christ more than they have since Bush first ran in 1999. I don't get how the Republican party can use words like liberal and socialist to describe the democratic party or Obama or Kerry than the RNC when if you look at the teachings of Jesus himself you can plainly see possibly the most liberal man that walked the earth. Take the story in the new testament referring to the sheep and the goats. A man comes to him and Jesus tells him he is not written in the book of life and the man asks why. Why when he was such a good church going Christian was he not in the book of life? And Jesus answered, "I knocked at your door and you didn't answer; I was hungry and you never fed me; I was sick and in prison and you never visited me." The man said to Jesus, "But you were never hungry, needed clothing , you were never sick or in prison so I don't know what you mean." and Jesus replied… "What you do unto the least of my children you do unto me." I could easily update this story and piss off a lot of McCain and Palin supporters, but how hypocritical can you be when you hint that Obama is Un-American because he is Socialistic or the most liberal senator we have when the very definition of those words are the way Jesus asked us to be. How could the ones so wanting war, to take away social programs to help the poor, to always wish to throw the book at prisoners without regard to the positive effects of rehabilitation be the very same party that claims in Jesus name and as for the rich well we know the bible also says that it is easier for a rich man to enter the eye of a needle then to enter the kingdom of heaven so why are they so greedy to hold on to their money and how do they expect to pay for the big spending Bush has been doing and Reaganomics left to pay off as well… leave it to the grandchildren to worry about? I sit up many nights with this on my mind and I just had to say my peace about it once and for all because it seems so obvious to me. I plead to all the Christians out there to stop for a moment and realize what Jesus meant by his words and try to stop pretending their party has the golden ticket to heaven. I'm sorry, but if Jesus came back today do you think he would be in the background of a Palin rally yelling… "Drill Baby Drill! No more money to social programs for the poor! Punish those prisoners more! Liberals are Un-American , who can we bomb next or that black guy is a liberal commie!" IS THAT HOW YOU GUYS REALLY SEE THE TEACHINGS OF HIS WORD? I just say if your going to keep using his name, stop pretending you want to be like him because logic must tell you truly that Jesus was about love and not slander, gossip or hate mongering and he sure wasn't about giving more tax breaks for the rich, taking away funding for the poor or going to war pre-emptively, but I guess if your preacher says it loud enough then the truth about it all becomes blurred because after all, faith is belief in something you don't see in front of your eyes and I guess they found the easiest followers when the Roves and the Murdochs of the world were writing the playbook. They picked a group they thought would be the easiest to persuade and gee.. You sure didn't prove them wrong now did you?

Hey Bill,
You & Lewis Black are the only comedians I have seen so far to acknowledge George Carlin's passing.
I have looked forward to all his HBO specials and he was sharp and funny in his last one.
I will definitely miss him.
That said, your political commentary is outstanding in its own right. I especially enjoy your excellent guests, they make me think.
I'm not one of those people who thinks thinking is a 4 letter word.
Politicians will not stopping bumbling after 11/4 and I think we all need the levity you bring to the serious, idiotic issues on the horizon. What can we do to keep your show on every week?

The fact that Sarah Palin is a woman has nothing to do with Bill Maher's insults. American life should be the way Jefferson intended it to, the way the other founding fathers intended it to. These people were from mostly Boston, New York, Philidelphia and Northern Virginia, but the US started on the whole east coast from Maine to Georgia. This is the way of life defended by those who bled at Normandy, or fought outnumbered 15 to 1 at Iwo Jima, or at Bunker Hill, New Orleans, Midway, the Bulge or anywheres else. This is what people went to the south and registered people to vote knowing they could die doing so. This is what inspired King, and Robert Kennedy and all americans who have put being an American above all else. What is this? virtue. Serving nothing but your constitution. paying taxes, volunteering, serving in the military or peace corps or doing anything else to promote our ideals. And do our civic duty, that means voting and staying informed about every topic as much as possible. And, if you are able, to serve as a gaurdian of the oppsressed and individual rights. and a defender of the constitution. these are what american life should be. as for you personal life, you are free to do as you please. america is not a christian nation, or an atheist nation. religon is irrelevant. most of the founding fathers were deists, which i find to be the disquised gospel of I do not know, and neither do you. The american way of life is not "red state values" like going to church on sunday, worshiping at the alter of greed on the other six days, voting against your interests because you do not know anything, shooting wolves or other animals is not an american value, its just an activity, in my opinion an anti-christian activity.
Bill Maher is a hero to me as a champion of free speech. He speaks the truth, has an Ivy League education and has always turned out to be right. To me he is George Carlin, as he was George Carlin's apprentice of sorts and friend and is now what George Carlin was.

Hi Bill,
Sarah the pro dem campaign killing post war hero slaughtering camera whoring mic gobbler reminds me of George's last words to us, long before we got a load of her.
I think George got his 2 minute warning but also foresaw the election. In March 2008 he said, and I think he was referring Palin,
Thats marvy.
Georgie is definitely in the bardo.
You see, he had to leave us when he did. How else could he have tripped all the lame politicians and fucked with their heads... beautiful!
Looking forward to your new campaign. I know you want to focus on the rainbows but please take the time to wipe the cobwebs from our collective conscious.

Dear Mr. Maher:
I caught you riffing about "Songs for the New Depression" on Larry King a few nights ago. You began singing and ad-lib updated version of "Buddy, Can You Spare A Dime?" You sang: "Once I built a website..." and trailed off.
I had the same thought a few months ago. Hearing you inspired me to go ahead and finish the rest of the song parody. I wrote it, recorded it and produced a short video to illustrate it over the past few days. Tonight I posted it to YouTube.
I would be extremely grateful and thrilled if you would have a look and let me know what you think. I mentioned you in the notes section and included an onscreen credit at the end of the video.
Thank you again for the inspiration. Like all your fans, I adore your wry and incisive wit. You are undoubtedly the nation's foremost iconoclast and humorist working today. Keep it up!

Charley Reese has been a journalist for 49 years.
By Charlie Reese
Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.
Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?
Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?
You and I don't propose a federal budget. The president does.
You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.
You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does.
You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.
You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.
One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president, and nine Supreme Court justices 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.
I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank.
I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a president to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash.
The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes.
Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.
What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits. The president can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.
The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House? Nancy Pelosi. She is the leader of the majority party. She and fellow House members, not the president, can approve any budget they want. If the president vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to.
It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million can not replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.
If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair.
If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red .
If the Army & Marines are in IRAQ , it's because they want them in IRAQ
If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way.
There are no insoluble government problems.
Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power. Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like "the economy," "inflation," or "politics" that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.
Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible.
They, and they alone, have the power.
They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses,
provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees.
We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!

In 1997 NORAD said they insure, "Aircraft flying over our air space are monitored seven days a week, 24 hours a day."
In 2004 the Air Force contradictorily said, "Before 2001, 1st Air Force was charged with keeping an eye on the nation's borders, usually looking for threats in the form of Russian aircraft skirting too close for comfort to the mainland. In those few hours, the command's mission went from looking outward to looking inward."
See the 5 articles on NORAD at www.DNotice.org

In honor of Carlin:
New Rule: Words matter. Stop calling it a "Single Payer System" and start calling it "Universal Health Care". "Single Payer System" sounds a lot like, "Hey you, pay now!" whereas "Universal Health Care" sounds like unicorns and rainbows will shoot out of Miss Universe's ass each time you make a copay.

a few Carlin quotes:
Why is the man (or woman) who invests all your money called a broker?
Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.
The IQ and the life expectancy of the average American recently passed each other going in opposite directions.
Honesty may be the best policy, but it's important to remember that apparently, by elimination, dishonesty is the second-best policy.
I'm completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death.
If crime fighters fight crime and fire fighters fight fire, what do freedom fighters fight? They never mention that part to us, do they?
"I am" is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language. Could it be that "I do" is the longest sentence?
If a pig loses its voice, is it disgruntled? (...because apparently Dick Cheney is.)
Isn't it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do "practice?"
When you're born you get a ticket to the freak show.
When you're born in America, you get a front row seat.
Eventually, alas, I realized the main purpose of buying cocaine is to run out of it.

"When fascism comes to America, it will not be in brown and black shirts. It will not be with jackboots. It will be Nike sneakers and smiley shirts." - St. George
Here it comes. If you go to see a movie and you don't like it, don't get up and walk out. Instead sue the producers for disappointing your dickish PC sensibilities. Attorney Leaf will help you out. Its not enough to have the right to choose to not go see any movies by the awesome cinematographer Mel Gibson, the much more primitive than Islam fascists are now seeking to impose soft censorship and obstruct him from even making a movie. Whatsamatter, Himey? Got some things to hide? Now political talk show hacks are hiding behind the comedic license to free speech afforded by satire, with the end result being the censorship - or self censorship - of comedians and social critics.
Stop tolerating fucking pussies toning life down because you let them get away with translating rocking their delusion as offensive. Life is short, extinction is a real threat. The stupid aren't coming, lets just evolve without them. They will be offended? BFD. They are already offended.

At this point there is a major digression, while a herd of minor characters get on a Braniff jet for Club Med. It soon develops that the pilot is tripping on acid, the copilot is bombed on Lebanese hash and the stewardesses are all speed freaks and dikes, only interested in balling each other. Pat Rottenson then takes you through the lives of each of the passengers and shows that the catastrophe that is about to befall them is richly deserved: all, in one way or another, had helped, to create the housing bubble or bank crash by denying the "self-evident truth" of some hermetic saying by Heraclitus. When the plane does a Brodie into the North Atlantic, everybody on board, including the acid-tripping Captain Bush, are getting just what they merit for having denied that reality is really fire.

Save the planet, we don't even know how to take care of ourselves yet. I'm tired of this shit. I'm tired of f-ing Earth Day. I'm tired of these self-righteous environmentalists, these white, bourgeois liberals who think the only thing wrong with this country is that there aren't enough bicycle paths. People trying to make the world safe for Volvos. Besides, environmentalists don't give a shit about the planet. Not in the abstract they don't. You know what they're interested in? A clean place to live. Their own habitat. They're worried that some day in the future they might be personally inconvenienced. Narrow, unenlightened self-interest doesn't impress me.
The planet has been through a lot worse than us. Been through earthquakes, volcanoes, plate tectonics, continental drift, solar flares, sun spots, magnetic storms, the magnetic reversal of the poles … hundreds of thousands of years of bombardment by comets and asteroids and meteors, worldwide floods, tidal waves, worldwide fires, erosion, cosmic rays, recurring ice ages … And we think some plastic bags and some aluminum cans are going to make a difference? The planet isn't going anywhere. WE are!
We're going away. Pack your shit, folks. We're going away. And we won't leave much of a trace, either. Maybe a little Styrofoam … The planet'll be here and we'll be long gone. Just another failed mutation. Just another closed-end biological mistake. An evolutionary cul-de-sac. The planet'll shake us off like a bad case of fleas.
The planet will be here for a long, long, LONG time after we're gone, and it will heal itself, it will cleanse itself, 'cause that's what it does. It's a self-correcting system. The air and the water will recover, the earth will be renewed. And if it's true that plastic is not degradable, well, the planet will simply incorporate plastic into a new paradigm: the earth plus plastic. The earth doesn't share our prejudice toward plastic. Plastic came out of the earth. The earth probably sees plastic as just another one of its children. Could be the only reason the earth allowed us to be spawned from it in the first place. It wanted plastic for itself. Didn't know how to make it. Needed us. Could be the answer to our age-old egocentric philosophical question, "Why are we here?"
Plastic… asshole." George Carlin

Misalnya dengan munculnya rasa gatal-gatal pada daerah yang terinfeksi.

Nuffnang Hidden Gem For The Win!
Alright, I'm gonna go straight to the point…
I (or kenwooi.com to be exact) am a FINALIST for the Hidden Gem category for Nuffnang Asia-Pacific Blog Awards 2011!
*pops champagne!*
Oh wait, pops champagne? Not yet win also. :/
Anyway, YES!!! kenwooi.com is in the running to become Asia-Pacific's next Best Hidden Gem blog! Wooah! *jumps on bed, sofa and into the air*
And amongst the other Hidden Gem finalists, kenwooi.com is the only representative for Malaysia and it'll compete for the award title with other Hidden Gems from 5 other countries involved in the Nuffnang Asia-Pacific Blog Awards!
Woahhhhh!!! Can you believe it or not?! O.O
So you can vote for kenwooi.com to win the Best Hidden Gem award!
As much as I rarely to talk about my blog, I believe it would be a customary duty to tell the world oh wait, the world doesn't know about me right? I guess that's why kenwooi.com is addressed as a "Hidden Gem" blog. *shy*
So yeah, my dear readers, here are some reasons (out of zillion, jillion and gadzillion reasons!) why you should vote for me and also why kenwooi.com should win the Best Hidden Gem title…
To start with, kenwooi.com gives you the motivational laughter…
A blog that provides truthful statistics about our daily life…
It shares the best insights to the latest happenings in Malaysia such as the upcoming Warisan Merdeka Tower…
The blog that presents the previews of upcoming epic Malaysian movies…
An unusual blog that offers an out of the ordinary stories of a noob blogger…
Moving on, as awesome as kenwooi.com could be, the blogger behind it deserves a mention as well.
He's the blogger who has a part-time job as Iron Man…
A dude that owns the cute pink Hello Kitty KTM train…
The ordinary guy whose hobby is riding the bike like Mat Rempit…
A camera owner that has skillful camwhore technique which will soon be a trend in the whole wide world…
The Malaysian grown boy that many address as "Banana" for being a Chinese without good Chinese language command…
He's simply a boobs-loving guy…
Okay, maybe not the last one coz I bet girls will scream and run for their life on sight once they see me approaching. Crap!
So yeah, that's every reason why you would give kenwooi.com a *High 5* and vote for my blog as the Best Hidden Gem Blog in Asia-Pacific, if not the whole world.
No? You're just gonna leave without voting?
I guess I have to use my skillful persuasive technique to get votes from you then. Yes – you, you and you!
Here goes…
Uhh… that seemed a little despo, but still…
Click here now to vote for kenwooi.com! It's the only blog representing Malaysia in the Hidden Gem category!
Thank you in advance! :D
I seldom say this – it has been really an honor to have all the support given to kenwooi.com. My blog wouldn't have achieved this without that. I can never thank you all enough!!! :)
