Bill Maher Discusses Race, Elitism, Barack, the Pope...

I thoroughly enjoyed Bill Maher's show on Friday. His kick-ass, no-nonsense style is a breath of fresh air in an era of media consolidation & the intolerance of alternative viewpoints(thanks to the FCC). Although there were a lot of factual errors in the show (like the claims of the Pope being a Nazi sympathizer and that Iran has nuclear weapons), it was otherwise quite thought-provoking and funny as hell. Any true democracy requires an informed public and Bill Maher's show is really one of the few remaining that informs and entertains at the same time.
