Uncut holds no appeal, and is all the more reason to shrink-wrap it. Other than the many obvious reasons. And from his end (sts), would you want to put it in Ann Coulter?

Doesn't that chart largely mimic population density?

Oh, good fucking grief.

I'm sure if I looked, I can find "someone" that said the KC Royals are going to win the World Series.

I'm not one to encourage the spread of deplorable speech, but if someone could tell me WTF Maher said, I'm happy to sign up to condemn it.

On foxnews.com, there is a partial transcript of him discussing it with Bill O'Reilly. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,257352,00.html

There is also a link to video there.

I didn't look. It was the last lefty blog I'd read. I guess I was just lucky.

I didn't defend anyone.

Again -since you clearly missed it - I noted that right universally condemned Coulter for her comments. Then I pointed out that the Left never criticizes their own, like Maher.
I didn't clearly miss that. In fact, I criticized Maher for his comments in that post. I also gigged your for needing to find an offsetting sin on the liberal side in order to balance out Coulter's fuck-up.

What I let you get away with was your characterization of Maher as a liberal, when the whole world knows he's an apolitical, amoral hack who will say anything to grab media attention and keep people from noticing that he has no business as a political commentator.

Coulter on the other hand is a bigoted, stupid cunt who thinks she is far more precious than she is and therefore, she can get away with saying absolutely anything and her Daddy substitutes will find it cute.

For the record, I am okay with the stupid and bigoted part, but disavow the rest.

I'd call Maher "Accuratist." He's not doing anything Jon Stewart hasn't done for years. He's pointing out the inherent idiocy of ideology, which comes off as amoral.

Maher refuses to pick a side (though he seems to come down on the liberal side most often) and says what a lot of people really want to say but can't because our social strictures dictate the suggestion morality's a small-minded concept - no matter how Ayn Randian logical that conclusion may be - is heresy.

We need to pick sides and stand for things. We think it makes us noble or better than what we'd otherwise be. We think our "values" are the glue of society. Maybe they are. But maybe we're wrong. Or maybe our love affair with morality as a defining and important concept is little overblown, unjustified, and maybe it blinds to a wiser rational mode of thinking. Maher's a poor attempt at philosopher asking those half-a-joint-and-three-fingers-of-Scotch-in-your-head questions.

We trip over ourselves genuflecting to "morality" in this country so much we don't even understaqnd the concept except as a hammer to claim we're better than someone else.

Amoral? If you're referring to the strident "values" I see ponged around this country by the "moral" every day, yep. And quite proud of it.
