Great interview with Bill Maher on Salon. Select quotes:
Religion to me is a bureaucracy between man and God that I don't need. But I'm not an atheist. I believe there's some force. If you want to call it God. I don't believe God is a single parent who writes books.
Also from Maher:
Government -- they used to teach it in college. It's actually something you should study and learn and know how to do. The Republicans always run on the idea that government isn't very effective. Well, not the way you do it. But it can be effective.
Does anyone doubt that if Bill Clinton was president during the Katrina storm that he would have been on top of that? He would have been all over that situation. He would have had the right people. He would not have slept for a week. That's the kind of guy he was.

Also check out Amanda Marcotte's (Edward blogger) account of her Swift-boating. Good writing! (Are there that many great political writers out there and just not a big enough audience?)
