Bill Maher is on a winning streak with his 7-8-minute politics and comedy bits on his “Real Time” show. Here’s the one from yesterday, called “New Rule: Long Division”: This one’s about gender (he means “sex”), with Maher saying “Until the Democrats come to grips with that, they’ve not going to have much success winning […]

Here’s the latest from Bill Maher’s Friday “Real Time” show. First, the “New Rule” segment called “Let’s make a deal.” This is perhaps the best Maher bit I’ve ever heard. It’s funny, but the main point is not its humor but its message, which is deadly serious. The guests you see (one of whom Maher […]

Here’s the latest “New Rules” interlude from Bill Maher’s Real Time show, called “New Rule: The price of free speech.” It’s a big hooray for the First Amendment, including Maher’s opposing (as I do) Trump’s ban on flag-burning. But he also call’s out the Left’s attempted curbs on free speech (I didn’t know that Lisa […]
