[HeyManThatsCool]

8. Make that BORING basketball stuff

I hate when they show the same footage over and over and over and.... well, you get the point. This story is old already and I DONT CARE.

I want to hear from Bill. Not that Larry's interview skills are that great. BUtttttt
I tend to like Bill Maher. I hope he isnt a jerk tonight.

[shelley806]

7. It's coming up!

[rusty charly]

5. watch frontline instead

It's one of the most wonderful times of the year for the banking industry's most lucrative business: credit cards. In the coming weeks, millions of Americans will reach into their wallets and use plastic to buy an estimated $100 billion in holiday gifts. But at what cost?


In "Secret History of the Credit Card," FRONTLINE® and The New York Times join forces to investigate an industry few Americans fully understand. In this one-hour report, correspondent Lowell Bergman uncovers the techniques used by the industry to earn record profits and get consumers to take on more debt.


"The almost magical convenience of plastic money is critical to our famously compulsive consumer economy," Bergman says. "With more than 641 million credit cards in circulation and accounting for an estimated $1.5 trillion of consumer spending, the U.S. economy has clearly gone plastic."


Millions of American families use their personal, general-purpose credit cards such as Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover to make ends meet; credit cards have been a discreet lifeline for families in financial straits.

11. Thanks for the post; it is timely as I know many people who are

just finishing their credit card payments for last Christmas! How to make the Christ go out of Christmas with credit cards!

9. Bill Maher is next on Larry King live

[HeyManThatsCool]

10. Is Bill

the only guest for the rest of the night? Are you all watching Bev Harris from BBV after Larry King?

[shelley806]

13. I will definitely be watching Aaron Brown tonight with Bev Harris.

You bet. What date was Maher referring to? Ann the Mann Coulter?

[AnIndependentTexan]

14. same here and I called my dad as well to watch it

[proudtobeadem]

19. Hi can someone post what they are saying please?? don't heve cable

[joeunderdog]

24. don't think the election was "hacked"

but our idea of Democracy is over-inflated.

We should get the people who make the slot machines to make the voting machines. They don't count wrong.

[AnIndependentTexan]

12. HE IS ON NOW!

[shelley806]

15. "We need those old school guys" Referring to Rather.

[cloud75]

16. dan's replacement

how about keith olberman to replace dad rather? that's who we need someone who is not afraid.

[rodeodance]

17. "NO, we don't get it---to the Right!!!

bill said he would like to see a graciousness from the Repugs on the losing of the election!!--not this--do you get it not!! attitude from the Right. loved it.

[shelley806]

18. Nothing about fraud; Kerry "lost" and it was "KKKRove's genius"

that won the election for B*. "Moral win" Sorry, don't buy it.

[anamandujano]

20. Moral

Don't expect any of our former heroes or representatives to take up this battle. (Reference what posters have just reported about Zogby, what Jessie Jackson said, etc.)

Let's not let any of them demoralize us.

Edit to add--They are being trotted out one by one to dampen people's spirits and stop this story. They are all conservatives. They are at the top of the heap and they want to stay that way.

[shelley806]

34. I don't think Maher's a conservative...He just accused the

Democratic Party as moderate conservative--not Liberal at all. That's what he said.

What did Jessie Jackson say? I've been more impressed by what he has NOT said; He has been totally silent about voter repression! The last election was like the fifties! And no word from Jessie Jackson...

[proudtobeadem]

37. I'm confused, did Maher say...

"I've been more impressed by what he has NOT said; He has been totally silent about voter repression! The last election was like the fifties! And no word from Jessie Jackson..."
Or did you?

[shelley806]

43. No, I was responding to a post which mentioned JJackson and

Maher as acting 'conservatively.' And I am impressed by the lack of Jessie Jackson's response to election repression, especially; not just fraud. Maher didn't say that. Maher remarked that the Democrats are too conservative...

[anamandujano]

42. It doesn't matter what they call themselves

they are conservative if they don't want anything to change and by Maher kissing up to Rove, that's how it will be.

Posters reported here last night that Jessie Jackson said that Bush won fair and square (on Larry King, I think). Also Obama said likewise.

I'm one of those no cable people, unplugged after the 2002 fiasco, so I rely on what people report here.

[99Pancakes]

21. He's saying what a waste of money

Presidential libraries are.

[cloud75]

22. hacked! n/t

[Gloria Days]

23. Maher talking about voting problems!

[cloud75]

26. elections hacked

talked in general terms of election problems come out and say it bill!!glad somebody called in we need more calls to bring up the problem!!

[99Pancakes]

25. Question: was the election rigged?

This from a phone in.

Says electoral college outdated....we need to get our election "stuff" straight.

He says, "Get the slot machine guys to make the voting machines" because we'll NEVER go wrong. When it comes to money, they never mess up, he says. So why not with our votes?

[99Pancakes]

27. Maher says about Iraq

insurgents will never give up. We need to get out as soon as we can.

[99Pancakes]

28. He says "let those people go"

that say, "MY son is scattered into pieces in Iraq, I lost my job, the environment is toxic, but....thank God gays can't get married" (I'm summing) He says we have to shore up more Democrats and forget about compromising for the "moderate". Let them go, he says---they are no use to us.

[shelley806]

36. Excellent summation 'lil 99pancakes! eom

[99Pancakes]

39. Thanks!

:hi: Shelley806

[lizzieforkerry]

29. He just ranted about the

republicans being more concerned about Rosie Odonell's sex life than about their sons bodies being scattered across a desert they can't find on a map. He said we need to be more liberal, not more republican!

[Wordie]

32. There are times when I disagree with him so intently, but I am so glad he

is around. He says things that you think, but never would dream of saying. And I am hardly one who doesn't express opinions.

And, as an added bonus, he is REALLY funny!

[L84TEA]

30. Well at least he is addressing the enviroment...

i loved that last caller that said shouldn't' we be happy Chimp inherited his own mess...?

[99Pancakes]

31. Maher says "no"

it wasn't good to re-elect Shrub so he could suffer sitting in his own pile of shit. No---Maher believes we may not have 4 more years!

[99Pancakes]

33. Caller wants to know when he is going to Kansas

He said he gets more love in the red states. Because, gee, they hear things they never get to hear in a red state. (A blue guy in a red state---yahoo!!)

[99Pancakes]

35. Of course, Shrubby did NOT

make us safer being in Iraq, Maher says. He is EMBARRASSED by the "yahoos" who run our country.

He says, the guys in Iraq are waiting for USA to kill a woman accidentally. Then, they will really lay in on us.

[shelley806]

38. In 2018, we'll get 2/3's of OBL!;;(B* said in 2018, we'll get 2/3's of the

CO emissions under control!)

[Action Jackson]

40. wow. thanks for the transcript!

[shelley806]

41. Pancakes is good enough to eat! LOL eom

[99Pancakes]

44. No problema

Hi, Action Jackson
:hi:

[Wordie]

45. I just caught the re-airing of the show, and heard this (very funny),

which I missed the first time around, about the e-voting problems:

"Somewhere in Iraq there is a warlord saying, '...you mean, they don't have a paper trail over there???'"

LOL

[Spongebob76]

46. Contact Maher with links about fraud

I have seen Bill Maher on CNN tonight.
He was great. I love the way he talks about things.

However, I think when he and Larry King talked about his website/email address, he showed a lack of understanding. Maybe he was kidding maybe not.

Let's assume he belongs to the vast amount of people who don't know how the computer works on the inside, let us try to educate him. Send him links about the votergate documentary.

The internet revolution started a couple of years ago. Don't expect "older" people to catch on that quickly. My dad still has problems using Internet Explorer.
