The Arizona shootings were like Kwanzaa come early for America's liberal fascists
How sick do you have to be to start making political capital out of the killing of six people including a nine-year old girl, long before anyone has the remotest clue what the murderer's motives were, or his political affiliations, or his state of mind?
Not sick at all, to judge by the response of so many US Tweeters in the immediate aftermath of the Arizona shootings. When you're a liberal, it seems, cloying sanctimoniousness, grotesque moral posturing, double standards, hypocrisy and cynical, malevolent smearing all come as naturally and healthily as breathing.
As Toby Harnden reports, barely were the bodies cold when the liberal fascists started pointing the finger of blame: it was Sarah Palin's fault, of course; Sarah Palin's and Glenn Beck's and, of course, the Tea Party's. Definitely not a crazed killing spree by a deeply confused young man, no, sirree. After all, as Rahm Emmanuel would say, you must "never let a crisis go to waste."
So let us compare and contrast the liberal blogosphere and media's response to the Arizona shootings (ie it was all the Right's fault) and its response to, say, the Fort Hood killings or the 2002 Beltway sniper murders. In the latter two cases, liberals walked on eggshells to avoid admitting these had anything whatsoever to do with the Religion of Peace (TM). And we're not talking about just the first few hours afterwards when a certain amount of circumspection might have been excusable. As I mention in 365 Ways To Drive A Liberal Crazy, once the liberal MSM discovered that the Beltway assassinations were not after all the crime of an "angry white man" but of an embittered, black Muslim convert calling himself John Muhammad, it went into instant denial mode. In news reports he was referred to by his pre-conversion name, John Williams, just in case anyone got any politically incorrect ideas.
It was the same with the Fort Hood killings. As I noted at the time, the liberal blogosphere and MSM simply couldn't bring itself to admit that Major Malik Nadal Hasan's killing spree had anything whatsoever to do with the famously peace-loving religion of Islam. Even after it emerged that he'd been in contact with the notorious Islamist terror guru Anwar al-Awlaki, still liberals sought desperately to make out that Major Hasan was just an ordinary chap who'd been crazified by exposure to one of Amerika's evil, unjust wars.
One of the Tweets I got from one of my nicer, better-meaning liberal friends last night was:
interesting to note the parallel between the dangers to politicians from extremists in Pakistan and United States
But actually, this says more about the dubious moral relativism of the liberal mindset than it does about empirical truth. There is simply no reasonable and fair comparison to be made between the assassination of poor brave Salmaan Taseer, Governor of Punjab province, and the attempted murder of Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. And if you want to know why, compare and contrast the local reactions to these respective tragedies.
In Pakistan, Salmaan Taseer's killer was showered with flower petals by his many sympathisers. In the USA, Jared Loughner's actions have attracted universal condemnation from both left and right.
And if anyone is gloating about the suffering and death inflicted on Congresswoman Giffords and her entourage, it most certainly isn't her opponents in the Tea Party. It's all those unprincipled grievance mongers on the liberal-left.

The Ontario Liberals are engaging in unnecessary government "micromanagement" and disregarding the Catholic Church's own ability to tackle bullying, Cardinal Thomas Collins, head of the Ontario Assembly of Catholic Bishops, said Monday.
"If the point is that there is something unacceptable about those Catholic principles, then I find that troubling and wonder whether caricatures of the Catholic faith are in play," he said.
"With the principle established that the legitimate local authority is nullified in this case, then is any student free to introduce any program, any club, or advocacy group relating to any issue?"
The province on Friday said it would amend its anti-bullying Bill 13 to give students the right to name their clubs "gay-straight alliances" over the objection of school authorities. The original bill called for "organizations with the name gay-straight alliance or another name."
The option of "another name" is now off the table. Other ambiguities remain, however.
Church blindsided by Ontario government over gay-straight alliances: Catholic sources
Students could call gay-straight alliance a 'gay-straight alliance' under new Ontario legislation
Laurel Broten, the Minister of Education, made it clear in an interview Monday that all school clubs would have teacher supervision. That raises the question of what a GSA would look like in a Catholic school setting, something that still remains unclear even after two press conferences held by two Catholic leaders.
Cardinal Collins said organizations' names have specific meaning, and so what a group is named may determine the group's activity.
"If someone asks you to join the Liberal, Conservative or New Democratic Party, you rightly expect something different from each. So the key issue is not just the name itself, but the content connected with the name, with the 'brand.'"
Cardinal Collins said the Church was taken aback by Friday's decision because it believed it was on the way to negotiating a compromise. He said he is puzzled as to "why a piece of provincial legislation is being used to micromanage the naming of student clubs" and "why Catholics are

NCAT hosted the fourth Pavement Test Track Conference in February, highlighting how the test track helps turn theory into practice and enables transportation agencies to do more with less. Along with presentations from NCAT researchers, the conference also featured representatives from sponsoring agencies who demonstrated that longer-lasting, safer, more economical roads are the direct result of implementing test track research.
The fourth research cycle began in 2009, when 17 of the track's 200-foot test sections were either reconstructed or rehabilitated. The remaining 29 sections were left in place to allow for additional traffic loading. Trafficking began in August 2009 and ended in September 2011 after 10 million equivalent single axle loads (ESALs) were applied. "The timing of fleet operations was schedules so that the 25-month testing cycle included three summers," says Dr. Buzz Powell, NCAT's assistant director and manager of the test track.
Some test sections were built on thick pavement foundations to ensure that surface distresses would be materials-related; other sections had varied asphalt layer thicknesses with embedded instrumentation to measure pavement response to traffic loading. For all sections, pavement performance was quantified on a weekly basis with regard to smoothness, rutting, raveling and cracking. Objectives for each individual test section and the track as a whole were decided by highway agency and industry sponsors, with economic and environmental sustainability as top priorities.
High RAP Mixes
Mixes containing up to 50 percent recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) have performed successfully at the test track, providing excellent rutting resistance and durability. Two structural sections containing 50 percent fractionated RAP were placed in 2009 as part of the Group Experiment—one mix was conventional hot-mix asphalt (HMA) and the other was warm-mix asphalt (WMA) produced using a water-injection foaming process. Both sections used unmodified PG 67-22 binder, whereas the control section contained all-virgin materials and polymer-modified PG 76-22 binder in the top two layers. After 10 million ESALs, both high-RAP sections performed as well as the control, with minimal rutting, very small changes in smoothness and texture, and no observed cracking. The increased stiffness of the high-RAP mixes resulted in lower critical tensile strains and subgrade pressures relative to the control.
Four sections with 45 percent RAP were left in place from the previous cycle of testing, accruing a total traffic loading of 20 million ESALs. These sections compared different virgin binder grades (PG 52-28, PG 67-22 and PG 76-22). All four sections had exceptional rutting performance, with rut depths less than 5 mm after two cycles of trafficking and some of the hottest recorded summers for the local area. Mixes containing stiffer virgin binder grades exhibited minor cracking at an earlier stage than mixes with softer binders, indicating that a softer virgin binder grade slightly improves the durability of high-RAP mixes.
In 2009, the Mississippi DOT also sponsored a section containing 45 percent RAP. While the mix used PG 67-22, early results indicate that performance is similar to an all-virgin mix with polymer-modified PG 76-22. Significant cost savings can be achieved by using high-RAP contents combined with unmodified binder.
Warm-mix Asphalt
In addition to the warm-mix asphalt (WMA test section with 50 percent RAP, two structural sections comparing WMA technologies—water-injection foaming method and a chemical additive—were also constructed at the test track as part of the 2009 Group Experiment. After the application of 10 million ESALs, rut depths were satisfactory in both WMA sections. They were slightly higher than in the control section, probably due to less binder aging and absorption during production. There were also few practical differences between the WMA sections and the control with regard to structural response, according to Dr. David Timm, Brasfield and Gorrie Professor of Civil Engineering at Auburn University. No cracking was evident in either section and lab test results indicated greater fatigue life expectations for the WMA sections relative to the control.
Alternative Binders and Binder Modifiers
Several alternative binders and binder modifiers were evaluated during the 2009 research cycle, investigating ways to reduce the quantity of asphalt materials needed for construction. Two options—Shell Thiopave, a warm-mix sulfur technology, and Trinidad Lake Asphalt, a pelletized natural asphalt imported from Trinidad and Tobago—were successfully used as partial replacements for refined liquid asphalt in three test sections.
Kraton Polymers also sponsored a structural section incorporating highly polymer-modified (HPM) mixes that were very stiff but strain-tolerant, allowing the test pavement to be designed with an 18 percent thinner cross-section. The excellent fatigue and rutting resistance observed in this section made HPM the material of choice in rehabilitating a nearby pavement section that was completely failed.
Other experimental sections at the pavement test track compared binder modification with ground tire rubber (GTR) and styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) polymer. Both laboratory testing and field measurements showed that mixes containing GTR performed comparably to SBS mixes in every way.
Porous Friction Courses and Stone Matrix Asphalt
The benefits of porous friction courses (PFCs) include improved surface friction characteristics, reduced tire spray during rain events and reduced noise from tire/pavement interaction. However, since the structural value of PFCs was unknown, some states attributed no structural contribution at all to PFC layers. Embedded instrumentation at the test track allowed for the structural characterization of a PFC section, indicating that PFCs do contribute to a pavement's overall structural integrity. A provisional structural coefficient of 0.15 was determined for PFCs, allowing states to optimize pavement designs and make full use of available resources.
As a rehabilitation surface in another section, PFC mix was found to extend the performance life of underlying dense mix with a history of cracking susceptibility. Performance was further improved when the PFC surface was placed with a heavy tack coat using a spray paver compared with conventional tack methods.
A 2009 section sponsored by Georgia DOT evaluated the use of alternative aggregate sources for stone matrix asphalt (SMA), a premium mix used on Georgia's high-volume interstate highways. The SMA test section contained a higher percentage of flat and elongated particles, yet had excellent performance with regard to rutting, cracking and raveling. These results indicate that aggregate sources meeting Superpave specifications perform as well as the higher-cost cubical aggregate currently used for SMA in Georgia.
Perpetual Pavements and Structural Design
Two sections placed in 2003 that were designed to reach terminal serviceability at 10 million ESALs have survived an impressive 30 million ESALs at the test track. Both sections were designed using the 1993 AASHTO Pavement Design Guide, with an asphalt structural coefficient of 0.44 (the Alabama DOT standard at the time). The sections differ with respect to binder grade—one used PG 67-22, whereas the other used SBS-modified PG 76-22. After 30 million ESALs, both sections exhibited minimal rutting and no fatigue cracking. These results indicate that pavements can withstand higher levels of strain than suggested by lab tests, allowing the design of perpetual pavements with thinner cross-sections that are more cost-competitive.
Recent research at the test track has also shown that the asphalt structural coefficient can be increased from 0.44 to 0.54 for flexible pavement designs using the 1993 AASHTO Pavement Design Guide. The coefficient recalibration was based on structural measurements from test sections with a broad range of asphalt thicknesses and mix types, as well as different bases and subgrades. Increasing the coefficient to 0.54 results in approximately 18 percent thinner asphalt cross-sections. Alabama DOT estimates savings of approximately $40 million per year since implementing the revised layer coefficient.
MEPDG Predictions vs. Actual Performance
Performance data from the 2003 and 2006 structural sections at the test track were compared with performance predictions using the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG). Using the national calibration coefficients generally over-predicted rutting. However, newly calibrated coefficients for the unbound layers produced acceptable rutting predictions. Fatigue cracking predictions were unsuccessful, with poor agreement between measured and predicted performance regardless of the coefficients used. Grouping sections with similar characteristics may result in better fatigue calibration results, an approach which may be helpful in analyzing data for the 2009 sections.
Lab Correlations
Research at the test track is also contributing to further understanding of laboratory performance tests and modeling predictions. The NCAT lab has conducted extensive testing on the mixes from the test sections, and researchers have carefully analyzed data using both the conventional pavement design approach and mechanistic-based methods. One of the key findings is that some of the tests used to assess cracking performance use unrealistic strain levels that result in different performance rankings compared to observations in the field. This is especially relevant in the characterization of high-RAP content mixes.
Plans for 2012 Research Cycle
The focus of research for the test track's fifth cycle, scheduled to begin this summer, will be exploring ways to help transportation dollars go further. A number of sections from the fourth cycle, including the WMA and 50 percent RAP sections, will likely remain in place for further trafficking as part of the Preservation Group experiment. Pavement preservation treatments (e.g. thin overlays and inlays, microsurfacing, chip seals and other surface treatments) will be applied when a predetermined level of distress is reached. Further performance monitoring will allow researchers to determine the life-cycle cost of various pavement preservation alternatives relative to pretreatment condition.
Preservation treatments will also be applied to a local county road that provides access to a quarry and asphalt production facility. The existing pavement condition varies from good to poor. This study will expand the scope of testing on the NCAT Pavement Test Track into a "proactive versus reactive" experiment that defines the relationship between life-cycle performance and pretreatment condition for popular preservation alternatives.
Multiple sponsors will also be participating in the Green Group, which will be constructed this summer using high recycled contents—both RAP and recycled asphalt shingles (RAS)—in addition to unconventional materials and alternative design methodologies. The goal will be to assist states with implementation of these green technologies that have the potential to reduce initial construction cost, pavement thickness and environmental impact.
There are many sponsorship options available at the NCAT Pavement Test Track. For more information, go to www.pooledfund.org/Details/Solicitation/1325 or contact Dr. Buzz Powell at 334.844.6857.

I recently spoke at Incisive Media's SES NY on the topic of enterprise SEO - search engine optimization for large businesses or organizations. First, I'd like to reiterate what Mark Jackson said in his recent SEO column on ClickZ: "Our industry is so dynamic that missing out on a year's worth of conferences (if you're not keeping up with your reading on a regular basis) can leave you in the dark ages." So, stay current and attend SES at least once a year. That's what I require my team to do.
So how is SEO different for large companies, large sites, and those businesses using multiple languages in different countries vs. smaller companies or sites? If this is what you struggle with each day, read on!
The key issues we face include: (count how many fit your situation)
When talking to key stakeholders, remind them why organic search is important. It's where users click the most. In fact upwards, of 90 to 95 percent of clicks on a SERP (define) are on organic links not paid ones. This has been borne out in various online studies.
Start with your business goals. Here are mine:
Next, prioritize the key enterprise-type issues you face. For example, in my case:
Finally, once you have prioritized your key issues, choose your primary enterprise SEO tactics:
1. Content: It's always king, and especially so in SEO. It can help you version your material to avoid duplicate content issues but you need to know "how to write" for SEO.So, to wrap up, here are three key takeaways:

Why should you vote for me?
You should vote for me because I'm me. A vote for a person other than me would not be a vote for me. Hence, you would not be voting for me. That would be a terrible waste of a vote. It would almost be a non-vote, because it would go towards electing someone who surely would not be me. Once in office, that person would not enact my policies, would not enforce my ideas, would not possess my cunning wit. You would say, "Oh, that I had voted for Ralph Nader, and not this not-Ralph Nader!" You would despise the day of your birth.
Thank you.
Thank you.

HBO Host Bill Maher Calls Iconic Singer a 'Teabag Idiot'
HBO host Bill Maher's political views– and his crass way of expressing them– are well known to most. Every once in a while, though, he takes things a step further than normal.
The mega Obama donor claimed back in March, for instance, that he should be held to a different standard after calling Sarah Palin a "cu**" than when Rush Limbaugh called 30-year-old Georgetown student Sandra Fluke a "slut." On Sunday, Maher made another noteworthy claim.
Apparently Andy Williams, the iconic singer of some of the most-loved tunes in history, is to be remembered as a "teabag idiot."
Here's the full context, from Maher's Twitter feed:
The tweet followed one in which Maher called Senator Jim DeMint supporters "mouthbreathing a**holes" and "ignorant nativist pantswetters."
Several of Williams' most-remembered songs are Christmas carols. Here are a few of his best:
Williams died in September at the age of 84.

Posted on December 9, 2012 at 12:36amBill Maher is an advocate for the use and legalization of marijuana. The smoke makes the user find almost religious profundity in everyday objects (a lava lamp). Bill Maher's audience will snicker and giggle when the "laugh" light comes on. The marijuana users I knew in college altered their value system and eventually dropped out (later regret). It's very sad to listen to a 60-year-old hippie.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 1:34amSounds like Bill was teabagged and liked it then
and is having "baggie"regrets!
What's with that nose bill?
Do you pick it with your thumb?? -
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 1:48amI remember that guy.
He's the one who proved to OReilly that he didn't know the difference between the debt and a deficit.
I figured for all the political talk he does that at least he knew some BASICS in Econ 101.
Freaking IDIOT!!
He SHOULD be too embarassed to show his face in public after that but I guess he just that stupid…
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 1:57amThat is an insult to 5 year olds. Bill Maher is in a class of adolescent-minded children that did not receive proper discipline, and led to their own devices, chose to remain in a pubescent mindset, that gets aroused when they say dirty words, and like-minded individuals giggle.

Posted on December 9, 2012 at 3:01amAndy Williams was and will always be an American icon of all that was good and decent about this nation. His music was so integral to every memory I have of Christmas, warmth and happiness from the 1950′s and on all throughout my life. He brought good feelings and cheer to millions. Considering the fact that many are sad and depressed from personal loss at this time of year I am sure I can state with certainty His music even saved lives by bringing them happiness that otherwise might not have been. Andy Williams deserves the greatest respect by all who have love and decency in their hearts and minds, goodness in their souls. Heaven was increased and we were decreased with this great mans passing. Thank God for recording technology which allows the legacy of warmth and good cheer to continue for as long as we exist. America will never forget you.
If I were to state what I think of the filth bill maher represents I would violate every aspect of the policies the Blaze wishes us to abide by. I will not even capitalize the name of this vermin there are no words low enough to even begin to describe what he is. Less than nothing is the greatest he can ever hope to be. I look forward to the day of judgement when I will never have to hear or look upon this wretched vile soul again. Andy Williams exists forever, bill does not exist at all.
How long Oh Lord, before You return and rid the Earth of all the vile beasts who walk upon it?
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 5:41amDR VEL there are no words I or anyone can type that could add to what you said about Bill Maher . Obama represents all that is wrong with this sick culture. Romney lost because he ran a milk-toast campaign.

Posted on December 9, 2012 at 8:28amI hate Bill Maher almost as much as I hate Barry. The two belong together. At least each can know that when their time comes they won't have to rot in hell alone LOL!
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 8:41amMy thoughts exactly. This guy is just showing us his immaturity on national television. Some people never grow up.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 8:59amTypical liberal. They cannot STAND it if they aren't in control of everyone and everything. Once they learn the inevitable – that they are totally powerless to do so – they result to hurling insults, making death threats, boycotts, and all manner of other childish tantrums to try and shame those who listen into agreeing with them. I'd say they'd go away if you ignore them, but unfortunately, they are now in charge of your country. Power makes them dangerous.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 9:05amMahar is always looking for new ways to prove that he's a low class, worthless piece of liberal garbage.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 9:05am@Lamarr01 That's not a really good analagy. The biggest smoker in my highschool class is now a neurosurgeon, it doesn't have to be a no-brainer before.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 9:23amBill Maher prefers the America hating Gay Bar sensation you tube video star "she bangs" from American Idol 2005. Gangman style and Cat Stevens is Bill Maher music. Maher would still spout Obamunism language even if Moonbeam and Obozo took 100% of his income. What a pathetic bozo is Maher.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 9:31amAs usual most cowards like to belittle and malign people after their dead. This jacka$$ has no conscious.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 9:32amMaher targets the most beloved Americans
because he knows that's where he gets more swag for his stupidity.Translation: Cause & effect=
he says something so vulgar & indecent outside every level of basic humanity
& then stands by & watches the fireworks…a disgusting, crazy arsonist.
Wanna' break his nasty spirit & ugly heart ?
Simply ignore him & any of his cheap, bully rants.Somewhere, good, decent fellows like Andy Williams
have the ear of a more powerful force
that even cads like Maher can't rock, roll & rattle.
When he least expects it, he will be dealt with in appropriate, superior manner.Ugly-hearted people like Maher have no fear
because they have NO conscience…hence, their despicable display.All those who diss the Tea Party…actually are rallying it a million-fold.
Andrew Breitbart always said, he would trust to leave his children
with any of the pure, good folks in the Tea Party-
don't think the same can be said about Maher or any dirty, liberal loons.Look again, Maher….there IS a significant difference-
our Founders & freedoms would wisely attest.
By continuing to rant, rage & disparage…..YOU acknowledge that ! -
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 9:53amWell everbody knows that Bill Maher is a complete moron. All you have to do is listen to the idiot one time in your life to figure that one out.
If Bill Maher was actually an American it might be a different story, but like most other libs he likes all the things that destroy this country.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 10:32am5 yr. old??? You give Bill to much credit.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 10:44amPosted on December 8, 2012 at 11:46pm
Maher = Spoiled Brat poster child. He has the mental maturity of a 5-yr old.and the vocabulary of a grade school drop-out…Canceling HBO ,
No one in My household will ever watch this TOAD again.. -
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 10:56amBuy more Andy Williams music and disconnect HBO.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 11:17amBill Maher=leftist, progressive, "chosen person" Juden propagandist.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 11:23amYou know, if we gave California back to the Mexican government, he'd be "THEIR" problem then. Just saying.
Personally, I don't do cable, I don't do network tv, I don't do fan mags (People or Time), the only time I ever hear about this verbal ejaculator is when Beck posts something about him (there is a suggestion in here for you Glenn!).
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 11:55amAnd Maher is Douche Bag Idiot!
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 12:02pmI don't get why the left thinks this guy is so clever, he really is a barbarian.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 12:29pmAnd the Libs call us idiots for watching Fox news.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 12:36pmBill Maher = Satan's seed.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 12:37pmDr Vel has it totally right. The world was a happier place when Andy Williams sang. He will always be a musical icon, and Bill Maher is just a pinhead and a pipsqueak. I wouldn't give him the time of day.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 12:50pmSpoiled child in a mans costume; Never learned manners, has no respect for his betters and overall a loveless individual lacking class.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 12:57pmIt would concern me not … that a Godless moron call me an idiot.
In fact, it would concern me if he did not. -
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 1:10pmI don't like Maher and the hate he spews BUT – somehow his tactics are working. Look at the following he has. He is making big bucks with this hatred because people want to blame someone for their problems. O and the dems have made it logical to hate the rich or tea party members (defined as anyone who does not believe like they do) because they can then feel better about being worthless themselves. Scary future ahead.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 1:42pmCertainly Mahar is a special kind of elitist liberal snob, without the least bit of class, but the comment about pot smokers is just silly. I hate to break it to you close minded knuckleheads that down their brews, shots and glasses of wine, but there are 10′s of millions of pot smokers all around you. Some if not many of your co-workers, service providers and friends are pot smokers. And millions more find real relief from using pot, be it cancer patients, those with other chronic illnesses, and those with chronic pain. It is the close minded pin heads on all sides that are making our world less decent.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 1:44pmSomething really bad or wierd happened to that man during childhood. He is very ill.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 1:57pmI agree WHY is thins insult of a human still on TV!!!
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 2:04pmI don't know who is more ignorant…Bill Maher or the people who watch him.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 2:16pmThis fool needs a major attitude adjustment.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 2:19pmHere is a perspective to put this into.
History will remember Williams for quite some time, but forget turds like Maher quickly, because Maher is only a immature jerk trying to pass himself off as an entertainer/political hack.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 2:32pmHe can't help it that he is an idiot, he was born like that and will die like that. He is a disgusting idiot, filthy and I wouldn't wip my rear end with him if he was the only toilet paper withing a hundred miles.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 2:41pmToo bad Andy is dead. Perhaps a living relative would like to take up a hate speech case against the bone headed dolt, eh? Slander?
Bill you have too many people who go moo. You seriously think you are a political comedian and the sheep think you are reporting on the news…and that is why GB takes on clowns like you. Yep, just a clown, a jester for the court.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 2:43pmWho the hell even tunes into this azz hole ?
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 2:43pmLamaar.. "Bill Maher is an advocate for the use and legalization of marijuana. The smoke makes the user find almost religious profundity in everyday objects (a lava lamp)." hahaha you have never been high have you? Those sound much more like the effects of shrooms or LSD than of pot. When making a point it helps to understand the point.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 3:00pmLook at him , Life has already punished him , ugly , undesirable and not all there upstairs .
Just stand back and let Karma do it magic ! -
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 3:14pmAttention HBO, Years ago I canceled my Premium Subscription to your services just to avoid any inadvertent exposure to his Anti-American, Anti-Christian, Anti-Family diatribe. He is truly one of the Biggest Hypocrites of our time. The Fact that he still thrives on your venue is a true reflection of your Position. Congratulations on your continued undermining of our American Culture.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 3:22pmThey don't call Mahr "PIG" for no reason.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 3:30pmI was angry at first with Bill but now I feel sorry and pity for this aging atheist. He is a very disturbed individual. So don't give him the attention he so dearly craves. Pray for him, he needs it!
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 4:14pmHmmm, I can't quite remember the last time that Maher had the nads to actually confront someone to their face. Cowardly little d-bag, hiding in la la land spewing his venom.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 4:21pmI've seen a lot of comments I agree on, but the only thing that seems to have been missed, is the dork comparing his comments on Palin to Fluke.
Palin was a respected Governor and knew more than people gave her credit for.
Maybe not Presidential material, but a fine person in general.
Fluke on the other hand, saying she couldn't afford her birth control, if I have the correct person, is
what she was called.
A pack of condoms costs what, $1.00??
If she can't afford the yearly cost of condoms, I'd say she was the slut she was called.
Or would the term nympho fit her more?? -
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 4:38pmWe can do without a picture of this monster.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 4:56pmwhat do you expect from a treacherous a**licker.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 5:09pmBill Maher's another Jewish communist idiot.
Good for goose, good for gander. If he goes to the gutter, then everyone else can too; a lesson that the Republican party needs to learn.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 5:10pmyou have to have honor,morals and a conscious to feel shame
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 5:10pmMahr never got smacked growing up. He was probably a bully. Now he's out $1 million Obamabucks for nothing. He's probably mad he hasn't been invited to the WH yet or thanked publically.
I guess he's just miserable since the acting career went to hell after "D.C. Cab". Now he's just another foul mouth, angry liberal, atheist propagandist moonlighting on HBO as a "comedian". I guess the rating are beginning to tank. After all, your boy is in for another four. What a stinkin' miserable fleabag.
And from what I know about Dean Martin and the Rat Pack, they would have taken Billy outside and whipped his commie *ss! -
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 5:24pmBelieve me, I can find the nastiest words to call this phoney piece of crap of a person this Maher is, but I don't want to delight him with filthy words he'll probably glorify in. Too bad his brain and 'penus' are the same size, SMALL, just like he is.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 5:52pmYes, just another example of talent going to wasted.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 5:52pm"conscience" sorry

Posted on December 9, 2012 at 6:29pmThe m.i.d.g.e.t, self-hating J.E.W once again opens his mouth to speak caca.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 6:47pmIts typical reaction by those that only have the now, in which to appreciate. There is no beyond in their thought and belief. Only the now, with no standards, no rules, no higher purpose. Bill Maher is one to be pitied, not looked up to. He's course, hateful, and not nearly as smart as he preceives himself to be. Shock and awe speech, is merely a cover for ignorance and lack of meaning in his life.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 6:59pmYou insult 5 year olds…
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 7:01pmThose who are unable to speak intelligently and express themselves with proper English resort to this type of stupidity. Bill Maher is at the top of the list, followed by David Letterman and Jon Stewart. I doubt that an entire brain could be assembled by combining all three. So amazing and a sad commentary on our country that Christians are not allowed to speak about anything good while putrid filth is considered perfectly fine coming from these men. A different standard? Apparently it is approved by a large portion of Americans and especially by our President. Just another indictment of the president. If he were truly the "great American" he claims, he would refuse the support of people like these. But, instead, he chooses to associate with them. "— the company you keep".

Posted on December 9, 2012 at 7:20pmAnn Coulter's ex-lover. But buy her book and watch FOX News.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 8:27pmI believe you've overestimated his mental age by about 5 years. He has no intelligence at all! To criticize anyone for their political beliefs is so passe these days that it makes the criticizer classless, boring and irrelevant. It's hilarious that Maher remembers Andy Williams, while neither Andy Williams, nor anyone else for that matter, will remember Maher. Instead, Maher will be better know in the future as "what's his name" – you know; the guy who thought he was funny, but instead embarrassed himself, his gender, his religion and his barber.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 8:37pmI wouldn't insult 5 year olds. B M is just sleazy. 'nuf said
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 8:52pmNEVER NEVER NEVER forget that this is exactly how Barack Obama also feels about his "fellow Americans".
It gets no lower than Maher. -
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 8:56pmObviously Bill's syphilis is not cured and is effecting his brain.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 9:26pmWhy do they keep reporting on what "Little Dick Syndrome" Bill Maher thinks…he is one of many white angry leftist males who like to spew hate speech…a Marxist…the party of hate, resentment, and envy.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 10:03pmYah, but do you ever notice, the older he gets, the more he looks like The Joker
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 10:08pmIf we still had our feeble minded laws Maher would have been prevented or in a cage.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 10:44pmI agree with you Techon, He speaks thoughts that are totally in opposition to truth to further a most unamerican belief. May God enter their hearts and rip the veil from their eyes before it's too late.
It is their mantra to belittle patriots who believe in and love our country. Whether he knows it or not we are fighting for his freedoms as well.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 10:53pmAt least he didn't put him in a bottle and pee pee on him.
Posted on December 10, 2012 at 12:27amWho really cares what this guys says? Some times I wonder if The Blaze is trying to piss off the people who follow the Blaze. It is like your trying to test us and want us to get angry. Nice try tho CIA BeCK
Posted on December 10, 2012 at 12:36amAt least Andy Williams was a star and an icon in American society. Bill can only dream about.this unattainable goal.
Posted on December 10, 2012 at 1:12amOf course the radical right wing has NEVER said anything negative about the "Liberal Hollywood Elite". What goes around, comes around.
Posted on December 10, 2012 at 3:47amBILL MAHER – Proof that a Bull's S_ _ T Stinks! I Think the Best that could happen to this FOUL MOUTH, Piece of FILTH, would be to Drive him up to the Door of the Surviving Williams Family, Along with Every News Service & See if He's Willing to REPEAT HIS INSULTS to them in Person!
Posted on December 10, 2012 at 3:59amHere's a Thought, Lets get together & BOYCOTT The " BILL MAHER'S " Supporters Businesses & Drag that S.O.B. Into Bankruptcy.
It would only be fitting for that, " Soulless, Heartless, Piece of Walking Filth, to feel the Anger that He Generates. By way of Matching His " BANKRUPT MIND with a BANKRUPT Checking Account! " -
Posted on December 10, 2012 at 4:02amIn Protess of " BILL MAHER", I'm Cancelling My H.B.O. Account! See if others Follow!
Posted on December 10, 2012 at 6:11amI would like to give him a prostrate exam with a baseball bat !
Posted on December 10, 2012 at 7:14amBill Maher is a perfect example of what has gone so very wrong in America and why unless America is cured of diseases like him, there's no hope whatsoever. Maher doesn't deserve to be a 'celebrity,' he's better suited to be a hobo underneath a bridge somewhere because he's too unlikable to socialize with other human beings.
Posted on December 10, 2012 at 7:21amTechcon: You are 125% correct he isa spoiled brat. How can you & a lot of other liberals say stuff & it is ok yet when the right makes an opinion statement they are persecuted to the 9th????
Posted on December 10, 2012 at 8:44amMaybe, but you're doing a severe disservice to 5 yr olds everywhere.
Posted on December 10, 2012 at 8:50amWonderful comment by Dr. Vel! Accolades to you sir!
Posted on December 10, 2012 at 8:52amDamn Bill! I hope i never run into you dude because I don;t think I could control myself from beating the crap out of you. I probably would knock you out cold and just because you keep crying about Tea Bagging, I think I might lay my balls on your head, take a picture and post it on the Blaze. "Tea ****** Tea Bags Tea Bagee". Your crys for attention are getting old. Some times you just have to let them cry. Someone please punch this guy!
Posted on December 10, 2012 at 9:57am@ Dr Vel – You spoke of Andy Williams more beautifully than I've ever heard anyone speak about anyone. I agree with you.
You spoke of bill maher beautifully also (if you know what I mean), and I also wholeheartedly agree with you. Well said, and my heart says Amen. -
Posted on December 10, 2012 at 10:45amNot just spoiled and oh yeah, Maher made rich by capitalism which he deplores…..I believe he is a communist, maybe not card carrying, but communist ideology none the less…….He will have to answer to God one day……the difference is, conservatives don't speak like that of the dead……a little reverence and respect, Maher, goes a long way…..oh, try some humility also
Posted on December 10, 2012 at 10:49amHow is bill maher and does anyone still watch HBO? Why is this even on the blaze?
Posted on December 10, 2012 at 10:51amMr. Maher……..Andy Williams was and is loved…..your words will never change that.
Posted on December 10, 2012 at 10:51amwho is bill maher and does anyone still watch HBO? Why is this even on the blaze?
Posted on December 10, 2012 at 11:26amHey, I've known lots of 5 yo's with a lot more mental maturity than Bill Maher. He's disgusting.
Posted on December 10, 2012 at 11:47amAmen. I would like to see him meet up with a few of Jim DeMint's supporters, me being one, and see the look on his face when his body guards fail on the job. I would love to watch him crap his pants at the sight of that. And as for his audience, one big group of spoiled brat weak, wimpy panty-waisted babies – the same dirt bags who hurl absurd verbal abuse at our soldiers who fight and die to protect their comfortable way of life. These people make me want to vomit my guts out. It is sad what the culture in America has become.
Posted on December 10, 2012 at 1:05pmBill Maher's exterior ugliness has to be a result of some internal ugliness. His is a face that would stop a clock and make it run in reverse. Ditto for his soul.
Posted on December 10, 2012 at 1:14pmI wonder if he was like this as a kid and got his **** handed to him. I think maybe he was which is why he's doing it from the safety of a TV studio. I often wonder why more people don't call him out on his brand of hate speech. But then I remember how dumbed down the population is.
Posted on December 10, 2012 at 1:38pmBill Maher is no different than the Republican party's John McCain. I heard him on the radio this morning calling tea party people "middle earth crack pots" who are in a battle against Mordor.
Gee whizz I can't wait to run to the poles in 4 years and vote straight Republican ticket. That way I can do my part in saving the country. Now that is FUNNY!
Posted on December 10, 2012 at 3:05pmHe is the mouthpiece for Satan as he wishes to corrupt us from within. You are a good foot solider Bill–a complete "Useful Idiot" Shut the F up!
Posted on December 10, 2012 at 5:38pmOne day Maher is going to be standing in front of the Greatest Judge ever and he is going to be on his knee's wondering why no one told him about Jesus Christ and what would happen to him since he didn't know and it will be too late for Maher… Marys
Posted on December 8, 2012 at 11:44pmWell Bill, all I get from "****** idiot" is that you really don't agree with his views about politics. All about you. To me you are kind of a d@ouche, in almost every way, from your political views, to how you misuse your position to malign the dead.
Karma buddy, Karma.

Posted on December 9, 2012 at 1:37pmWe're hopeful.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 3:00pmHave you been paying attention to the political climate in America. people like him are on the rise.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 4:58pmKeaton – If that's the case, that means America is on the fall. Anytime you leftists rise, it means that society falls since you leftists are all about catering to the lowest common denominator in society.
Posted on December 8, 2012 at 11:37pmThere were three icons that passed away this year who I have always liked because they loved doing what they did and stayed classy doing it. They are Larry Hagman, Andy Williams and Dick Clark. They all are unforgettable.
As for Maher, he can take everybody from MSNBC with him to move to Canada. I am sick and tired of the race card! It is not healing our country.
Log in to ReplyReply-
Posted on December 8, 2012 at 11:47pmNo it is, with great sadness, to say not healing but instigating and infuriating an already combustive situation within the American society.
Posted on December 8, 2012 at 11:49pmAnd…they are just plain mean and hateful people. This nation has turned and for the worst I must add. I grew up with Andy Williams and I can say that he was class. As for the morons who berate him….classless.
Anonymous T. Irrelevant
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 12:08amAndy Williams was one of the better people that came out of Cincinnati, unlike Jerry (sleazebag) Springer. Maher will never be more than what he is, a bitter, loser, on a loser show and he knows it, so he has to take shots at people who were better and more successful than him to make himself feel better.
Ignore the loser like you would ignore the trolls on this site. Maher will never get anywhere, let him grovel in his misery. -
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 4:36pm@ Anonymous T. Irrelevant
Actually his name is Hairy Spinchter.
Posted on December 8, 2012 at 11:33pmExpose on Bill Maher by the Breitbart people who did the Planned parenthood sting or by the blazes new show.
Here is how it goes. The the public tax records for Maher's multiple homes. the property taxes are public record. There will be a name on who those taxes are paid by will be there. It will be Maher or his trusts. If it is his trusts which are named for his fat cats, then film an interview with 3 tax experts on how that affects Maher's taxes. Skewer the effer with his own hypocrisy.
Make a You tube video of it also. Enough of those & we will see how cool it is to watch little Billy Maher.

Posted on December 9, 2012 at 3:38amI don't know. Remember that Letterman was exposed as a lecherous, dirty old man and it hasn't hurt him any. How low does someone on the left have to go before they are persona non grata?

If by humbled you me have the crap beat out of him,then yes, his day will come.People like this pos live very sheltered lives,my guess this coward has twice the security Glenn does,but for a different reason….
Posted on December 8, 2012 at 11:28pmDadRocks son… me… personally knew Mr. Williams.
My pseudonym honors my father. As some of you know, my father was in the first wave of USMC into Inchon Korea. Upon discharge, and in Cleveland OH, he found himself in the music recording industry (late 50′s-early 80′s).
Some of his personal friends, not acquaintces, but friends were Al Martino, Count Basie, Lorretta Lynn, Sonny James, Vicki Carr, Nat King Cole, Jerry Vale, Andy Williams and on and on. Many went to his house when they were in town.
As a kid, you thought nothing of it… It was just what dad did for a living. Mr. Williams was one of the many visitors…I am not going to go on and on but simply say… "Mr.Bill Maher, you sir are a d*ck head"
You speak as a mouth piece of the losers and they follow your word as gospel.
Again… "Mr.Bill Maher, you sir are a d*ck head"
Couldn't say it when he was on this earth huh? Had to wait until the man can not speak in his defense.RIP DAD… I will still stand for and with you, and your TRUE friends.. Love, Your Son

Merry Christmas my Father…-
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 1:22amWhat an awesome family life to have known personally these great entertainers…Al Martino's Spanish Eyes I could sing in my sleep, Nat's The Christmas Song, Sonny's White Sport Coat…good music. I still love everyone of them to this day. Today's music (I don't call it that) is full of filthy lyrics. It's too bad kids nowadays have been propagandized by bad fools like this butthead. Too many families have become anchored in immorality, drugs, dehumanized, no values, and no G-d. The days of being raised by a Dad like yours are gone. The love and respect you have for him is a beautiful thing, and I thank you for sharing that part of your life. Have a blessed Christmas!
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 3:55amKALLI, Even country isn't country anymore. That's how I ended up listening to Talk Radio. It's partly my age, but mostly the music. Most of it just gets on my nerves. But I will still crank up "Won't Get Fooled Again" whenever it come on the car radio.
But how can anybody (except a callow youth or ignorant slob) think of Andy Williams as anything but "nice"? Everything about his personae was just "nice". And while I'm at it let me give a plug for Perry Como's Christmas music. The only thing better is Nat Cole's "The Christmas Song". December is incomplete without it.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 3:58amI do not see any posts here supporting little Billy. Your Dad will live on in the hearts of those who own one, forever.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 7:31amDADROCKED – Thank you for sharing your memories. I can relate to that era of time, even the snow seemed to sparkle more magically. The Andy Williams Christmas Show was the warm fuzzy on a winter night. The Williams brother, their parents and all the kids on the show along with the Osmond family. The last video of "the way you look tonight" not many singers could hit those notes so delicately. He must have had a perfect pitch. Those were the days when TV was young and innocent, which seems sooooo long ago. Those were also the days when a teen could buy a "beater" car for $50 and fix it up to get to work on time. Hot cocoa and twinkling lights, joyful music and church bells……(people like bill maher were few, if any) ……those were the days.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 8:21amDadrocked, Bill Maher's showbiz gimmick is to promote leftist ideals that run counter to traditional American values. He is one of the reasons why I created this 8 second video. there's really nothing to say to people like Bill Maher except: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Lmjidtj1_k
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 8:26amDadrocks, what was your father's name? Care to share that here?
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 10:03amAntonW – "Dadrocks, what was your father's name? Care to share that here?"
Let me put it this way… To Mr. Basie, I was known as 'Bobby's' son…
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 10:24amAntonW – ♫ SHUT THE HELL UP STOOOOPID ♪ ♪
I liked it… thanks for the link… -
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 10:54amKalli – Al Martino's Spanish Eyes – Interesting behind the scene stories of his playing Frankie Fontaine in The Godfather film. Folks, Frankie Fontaine was the reason for the horses head in the directors bed and the famous line… "I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeldwfOwuL8 – That's Mr. Martino in the white suit. Mr.. Martino was blacklisted to perform in Vegas for about three decades because of that role.
Mr. Martino passed away just two days before my father. They were close friends.Mr. Cole asked my dad what was wrong… "It ticks me off that you can perform in their clubs but can not sleep in their hotels"… Smiling he replied, "I don't give it a thought because when I go home to California, I enjoy their money, my house, my pool and my Cadillacs."
Sonny James: I was about ten and he had a Polaroid taken of him and I in his dressing room. I enlisted in the USAF. In the mail, was the picture and written, "Good luck in the Air Force, take care and God bless. Sonny" That was a surprise that I hadn't expected. For 8yrs he had that photo. Blew me away.
Lastly… "The love and respect you have for him is a beautiful thing, and I thank you for sharing that part of your life."
Three years have gone by and I have yet to mourn dad's passing. I just keep on celebrating his life.Happy HOLY Days to all and thank you for your kind words.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 5:16pmDadrocked, thanks. Glad you liked my youtube video.
So, did your dad play trumpet by any chance?
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 5:24pmDadrocked – like father like son. You rock too! Thanks for sharing your comments with us here. It's really cool.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 8:09pmDADROCKED – It's a man of great character who is able to continue celebrating his Dad's life beyond his passing. Amazing that your Dad and Al passed away a few days apart. I know The Godfather part well…shocking scene (every time I saw the man who woke up with the head in bed in another role, I thought of that scene). I didn't know Al had been blacklisted. I had heard the Fontaine role was about Frank Sinatra. I just went to my closet and pulled out my vinyl album of Al Martino's Spanish Eyes. Tomorrow, I'm going to play it.
Nat King Cole's songs, Ramblin' Rose and Lazy Hazy Crazy Days of Summer, were favs of mine to play on the piano, and now go to Rosie's Diner and put a quarter in the juke box machine at the table and listen to him. That was pretty cool how he responded to your Dad's frustration. He died way too young.
Sonny always seemed to be a gentleman…what a great memory and keepsake for you to have. Just now listening to O Holy Night…another great song that Andy Williams did.
Reading your posts are enjoyable as they open up memories of the good ol' times that we've stored away far too long. If every child could be taught love and respect as you were, imagine how life would be. I am certain you paid it forward and are being richly rewarded with the same the love and respect from your children.
Thanks for the memories as Bob Hope would say.
God's Word is an immovable anchor in times of storm.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 8:24pm4BLUESTARS – I agree. Country today is not country. I'm a Straitjunkie, and George is now retiring from the road, but I've got his music to play. I love the genuine country music, guitars, and cowboys in them wranglers. And, Perry Como was always fun to listen to and watch his shows…George was on one. I listen to all kinds of music…except hard rock and rap.
I started listening to Patriot Radio on Sirius XM last July when I cancelled my satellite tv. I listened to David Webb who plays this groovy music at the beginning of his 2nd hour, but could never figure out who it was. David responded to my email…The Zoo by Scorpions. Bought the CD which is awesome. Scorpions are on their last world tour…they've been together since 1965. Tells you a lot about their music. :o) If you like 50′s music, turn to Channel 5.
Posted on December 10, 2012 at 8:31amAntonW – "So, did your dad play trumpet by any chance?"
To answer no bu Oh man… Goose bumps as I write… As you know, groups drove their own cars to gigs back then… I have a picture of my dad behind the wheel of a station wagon with the groups name on the rear drivers side. Looking at the pic it says "The Bobby Hackett Quartet". Are you referring to Bobby Hackett?If so, I had always wondered the connection between my dad and Bobby Hackett.
I did my homework and Bobby Hackett was huge… He was always on the east coast but no mentions of Cleveland OH. The only thing I can speculate is that Cleveland was one of the last pit stops before someone made it big. They then would wind up in Chicago then national.Bobby Hackett was a horn player, especially trumpet.
Now you understand my goose bumps…
Posted on December 10, 2012 at 8:51amKalli – "I didn't know Al had been blacklisted. I had heard the Fontaine role was about Frank Sinatra."
Well you heard right… That is what Mr. Martino had told my father as well and it was Mr. Sinatra who was ticked off and had his people "…take care of the issue." Mr Martino had also said that he had to get security and tall stone walls around his house outside of Philly – Kind of cool to be a 'fly on the wall' during their talks."Reading your posts are enjoyable as they open up memories of the good ol' times that we've stored away far too long."
In late '90s, and knowing that in no way could I remember it all, I got tired of dad going through his past and sharing all of the experiences as he went thru numerous photo albums. So over a three day span, I video taped him going over it all…It's especially neat to hear my aunts, his sisters, talk about their 'kid' brother's experiences.
I have a three page letter, on onion paper, from Debbie Reynolds to him. Story goes that they had gotten together a few times on 'dates'.From my father, I never knew racism… The worst that he said was that someone/something was blacker than the ace of spades.
When dad had gotten 'dementia', I never noticed for I was used to him talking of the 'days'…
When he passed, I inherited over 25,000 LPs, 12,000 45s, cassettes, 8 tracks and cd's.
My prizes are the personalized signed albums, his photo albums, letters and the such. Oh yeah, his -
Posted on December 10, 2012 at 9:03amI want to thank you all for your interest, questions and kind words.
I have read your shared thoughts of being reminded of that era and thanking me for bringing them off of the back burners of our minds.
It goes both ways… I want to sincerely thank you for allowing me to reminisce of those days with my dad/old man/pops, and my Father.
A few years before dad passed, there was a personal family member passing away. I came in from out of state and stayed at his house. I remember him being in bed, I went to the side of the bed and said, "Dad, nightly I always do something with my daughter. Is it OK?" "What's that?" I started into the LORD'S PRAYER… He teared up while we shared in the prayer that OUR LORD had taught us.
Again thanks and God Bless Us All…

Posted on December 8, 2012 at 11:11pmMr. Maher must have been abused when he was a child (prior to the age of, what is he now..50?) Mr. Maher is such a sad person. He's so sad that he cannot allow, in his small world, to allow anyone to enjoy anything in life. My eldest sister said once, while watching Ozzy Osbourne stutter through an interview, "He's so pathetic he's endearing". Well, Mr Maher is pathetic, but he isn't endearing in any sense. He's just a sad, sad man who is trying with all of his might, to make people believe he is real, even though we all know he is nothing but a shadow of a real human being. So sad for him.

Posted on December 9, 2012 at 4:20amI started listening to Dennis Prager a couple years ago. Every Friday in his second hour he does "The Happiness Hour" because, as he says, happiness is serious business. Moods and attitudes are contagious. Happy people are just naturally more attractive than unhappy people. This guy BM must just suck the light out of a room when he walks into it. Because he has plenty of money I'll bet he enjoys the company of incredibly beautiful women — who charge by the hour.

Posted on December 9, 2012 at 2:16amAndy Williams was NOT gay. He was married twice and has three children with his first wife, Claudine Longet. They divorced in 1975. Williams went on to marry his 2nd and final wife in 1991, Debbie Meyer.

Strawberry is correct is his comments. -
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 8:33amWhen one considers who Bill Maher is: no children, uses sex like a toy, no traditional values, used mushrooms to get high when he was in his 20′s and is still a big partier, surrounded by other hedonistic, self-centered show-biz people – it's easy to understand why he makes comments like this one. He knows that he is the kind of person that decent people look upon with scorn and pity. That bothers him so he lashes out whenever he can.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 3:29pmMy bad, sorry Strawberry, your sarcasm went over my head :)

Posted on December 9, 2012 at 11:10pmThe John Wayne being gay rumor has been debunked so many times that it's pathetic to see people still try to use it to smear him. The fact is that Wayne was so opposed to homosexuality that gay actor Montgomery Clift refused to ever work with him or Walter Brennan again after "Red River" due to the hard time the two gave him over his "life style choice". Dean Martin got the role in "Rio Bravo" because of Clift refusing to work with Wayne or Brennan again. You leftists really need to do your research.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 11:18pmI forgot to add that Wayne wasn't a draft dodger either. He was listed as 4f when he attempted to enlist at the outbreak of Equipment due to an injury received ed while playing football for USC. A teammate of Wayne's was frequent costar Ward Bond.
Posted on December 9, 2012 at 11:26pmThat should read "at the outbreak of WWII" but for some reason my tablet switched it equipment. You have to love spelling checkers. They're about as smart as youraverage Obozo voter.

Samsung exec denies claims of Apple chip price hike
updated 01:03 pm EST, Wed November 14, 2012
Claims pricing scheme not that flexible
Samsung is denying reports that the company has raised prices on the chips it supplies to Apple, according to Korean newspaper The Hankyoreh. The information is said to come by way of an anonymous Samsung executive. The person elaborates that prices are typically set at the beginning of the year, and don't change easily.
Prior to today, Samsung was alleged to have hiked the prices on A-series processors by 20 percent. Apple is initially said to have denied Samsung's request, but accepted it in light of not being able to find an alternative supplier. While other companies should be able to manufacture Apple chip designs, Samsung is thought to be one of the few that can meet the scales Apple needs.
