After crying at the drop of a hat over the Gulf disaster...Maher and his new rules had a few smiles

[Mira]

You'll be seeing the u-tube on the whole thing, but let me tell you my smiles now:

In talking about President Obama telling graduates that he can't work the modern things like ipods etc. ( Yeah, Right)
Maher cracked about McCain would think that an IPad is something women wear on their Xboxes once a month.
(I swear ordinarily I would cringe at this, but the truth of it along with the image of the ancient geezer struck me as damn hilarious)

Maher says that people he does not want to name but it starts with T and ends with baggers keep yelling about wanting to take "our country back"....what I want, he says, is to take "our country forward".
He had me on that with a big "hell yes!"

Then he talks about "Jobs".
Steve Jobs.
He says if Apple were in charge of the disaster in the Gulf they would not be building a 4 story useless building to contain the gusher. They would be on the job and do it right.
Let Apple take a crack at fixing it - they've re-invented most everything else important in the last decade or so, let them take a crack at fixing America.

I was laughing so hard by that time that I can't relate this part too well, but I can recommend you watch the video when it comes out.

1. Thanks for the headsup on that.

I had been watching, but had to turn it off when he gave so much time to that redheaded twit and her whining about the media and religion.

[Bryn]

2. Never thought of this ...

"Maher says that people he does not want to name but it starts with T and ends with baggers keep yelling about wanting to take "our country back"....what I want, he says, is to take "our country forward".

Yeah!! Take our country forward!!

Thanks for sharing.

4. The unrecommenders are in force - Geez - maybe because they know

I will be making a bumpersticker (or more for others) about taking our country forward.
There is meat in that thought, I make bumper stickers in my work, and will be on it tomorrow.

13. Bumper Sticker

I'd love such a bumper sticker. Can you post a way to get one if you make it?

[WeDidIt]

3. I'm going to use the "I want our country forward" line

the next time there's a tea bagger slinging that "I want MY country back" bullshit.

5. iMerica

Replace the US Senate with The Genius Bar. :rofl:

[Nite Owl]

6. Had company so missed most of it

[ProgressiveProfessor]

10. where censorship starts and stops in literature & news magazines

I'll be waiting for a pad/slate device that does not censor art, photography and periodicals

http://www.businessinsider.com/fashion-magazines-are-censoring-their-ipad-editions-to-win-apple-censors-approval-2010-5

and

http://www.taoofnews.com/2010/04/apple-censors-hit-pulitzer-prize-winning-cartoons-whos-next.html

(the latter was only overturned because of the Pulitzer - god help you if you are not an award winning political commentator, or are an artist who happens to do something Jobs isn't fond of)

[Scuba]

11. Another good reason to not buy an iPad.

[Touchdown]

12. Oh' well, I guess I'll have to enjoy it without you!

And thank's for the outdated news about a misunderstanding you characterize as "only because of the pulitzer", more shit you pulled out of your ass. I just downloaded Mark Fiore's app for 99¢. I know that doesn't fit your insane narrative that Apple is worse than Halliburton, but I do aim to throw shit in your fan as much as possible!
