Bill Maher of Politically Incorrect fame has a a weblog. Go check him out. Does anyone else out there miss Politically Incorrect as much as I do? I'm warming up to Jimmy Kimmel's show, but he's no Bill Maher. It's a shame that ABC bowed to pressure from some network sponsors and affiliates and took Maher's show off the air. Ok maybe he stepped over the line somewhat with his comments about September 11th, but Maher has always been politically incorrect and that's why many people (myself included) enjoyed watching his show. He said so much of what others thought but never really had the courage to say. Now we know why.

Yeah, I miss Bill's irreverence, too. Yes, it is important in a democracy to still be able to hear all the voices. Only tyrannical leaders try to stifle voices of dissention. Eerily, America just went through a terrible growth spurt in that direction. But, let freedom reign! Let Bill blog to his heart's content!

Ohh...my sentiments exactly. Now Bill Maher's on cable, which I can't afford! I've seen the show in "real time" once.
BTW, a singer/songwriter has written a song about Bill called "Maher's Planet".
