What the hell 13-year-old doesn’t masturbate?! Masturbation, as I noted in a previous post, is always OK, whether you are five years old, 13 years old, 35 years old or 75 years old, as long as you aren’t doing it in public settings or obsessing over it/letting it interfere with your life, etc. But how many people have…

“Whether it’s with yourself...”

Yes, but the listed countries come directly from Obama administration policy. The Trump admin’s argument is that we already know how to vet people from Saudi Arabia and other unlisted countries, but not the seven with whom we have very little in the way of diplomatic relations. That may be bullshit, but it is their…

but, but … doesn’t the idea of him just seem calmer?

Ha, ha, yeah, “Practice round, takesies, backsies!”

Jez writers are often very young and do not know/understand/care about history/facts, etc. Remember, Jez isn’t news, it’s commentary — and they get a LOT of things wrong. Very wrong.

Yes, 33!

It’s hard to believe anyone at Jez would be fired for getting facts wrong, as it happens all the time. Countless times it has taken a much better-informed commenter to let a Jez writer know that they have completely fucked up.

Anna Marie Cox is a regular panelist on his show, so I wonder if she actually has any problem with Maher?

I like his show, but that’s because he has a lot of damn good panelists on.

“One of the first things I noticed was when Milo attacked Lena Dunham and Bill didn’t defend her on the merits, he was just like, oh don’t go after other HBO employees because it might make shit awkward for me.”

I mean, Hitchens was often an asshole and perhaps a bit of a troll at times, but he was also quite smart, and he knew how to debate. This Milo dude is the type who calls his detractors “low IQ” types when it’s obvious his own IQ is, at best, as average as it comes (and he knows it, and is embarrassed by it). 

He’s 33. That’s not exactly “young.” That’s a fully grown man heading quickly into middle age.

All that over-acted simpering and jittering and head-twisting would get really old, really fast during a night at the bar.

I don’t know if he believes ANY of it. He outright admits he’s in it for the attention/is a troll. He just says anything in the attempt to “outrage liberals,” etc. It’s totally transparent. That’s why I don’t even think he’s controversial. He’s more dumb and boring. But I’m not against inviting him on a show/to a…

Maher has a lot of views I don’t agree with, and some that I do.

Well, sure. I didn’t mean love in the classic, reciprocal way. He wants a one-sided love (or worship, sure) that is all about him.

To be LOVED, not merely liked. He needs to be loved.

Yeah, I hear you — and also, let us not forget that, in eight years, he will be 78 and possibly in a Reagan-like fetal position, drooling on his pillow and waiting for sweet, sweet death.

Yeah, I completely get being bummed out when a show you love is cut — it’s happened to me, too. :) But I think, overall, the only thing the network suits care about is the bottom line (money). If it brought in the goods, they would probably forsake all humans and show nothing but puppies and kittens playing football…
