Herc’s Friday TV Talkback!! THE HOUSE I LIVE IN Director On BILL MAHER!! The Return of HAVEN!! The Premiere of SECRET PRINCES!! BOSS 2.6!! TOP MODEL!! More!!
The “Real Time With Bill Maher” roundtable guests this week are editor Rana Foroohar, talk-radio host Roger Hedgecock and news anchor Chris Matthews; “The House I Live In” director Eugene Jarecki and “Slammin’” Salman Rushdie are interview guests.
Were I King of America, I would legalize all drugs and disband the Drug Enforcement Administration. As the ratings for Adult Swim verify, the DEA is wildly ineffective at keeping drugs out of the hands of Americans, and U.S. drug laws merely allow drug lords to grow more rich and powerful because it allows them to charge more for narcotics.
Premiering tonight:
Haven (10pm Syfy)
Secret Princes (10pm TLC)
Fridays, July 20-Sept. 14, 2012

looks good though. totally agree drugs should be legalized. hopefully this doc will help wake people up. also can't wait for boss!

For one thing, the pharmaceutical industry has WAY too much to lose by legalizing drugs, their all too powerful lobby would never allow it.<br> <br> But also, if the democrats tried to propose it, using... ya know, those ridiculous things called "facts", the GOP would be all over it painting the dems as weak on crime/drugs, and because the majority of Americans are dumb, the public would eat it up.

the moment they propose cutting the 15 billion a year Drug War budget at the top of their wasteful spending list. I'm sure Jay and Coughlin are with me on this.

Especially his constant insistence that Maher offends 95% of Americans. Are you the guy who, on a New York Yankees blog, called me "immoral" for once saying I liked Maher?
-
too fucking expensive to fight.
-
i thought conservatives were about cutting wasteful spending. what's more wasteful than throwing billions of dollars into a war you're never going to win? felipe calderon spent 6 years of his presidency in mexico fighting a losing war against the cartels, and all it did was cost thousands of lives and a trillion in mexican dollars
-
The DEA is wasting our tax dollars accomplishing nothing. Except keeping drug lords weathier than the Romneys.
-
end the drug prohibition today. people shouldn't be locked up in jail for smoking a plant. hard drugs users need treatment not prison, prison makes one better criminal, prisons have plenty of drugs anyway. police, prison lobbyist need drugs illegal because they get or make money off of the drug war/ prohibition. marijuana has health benefits, cancer patients being denied medical marijuana is morally wrong, alcohol is worse for your health, and causes people to drive or get violent. We have to decriminalize first, legalize marijuana, and give treatment and drugs to addicts. Non violent offenders who hurt no one but themselves shouldn't be in prison costing tax payers money. Ending the drug war/ prohibition is something liberals and conservatives can agree on which is a promising sign. I love and respect the police just don't think they should have to worry about keeping people from getting high
-
I think Maher should just let Matthews and that other guy (sorry, I didn't catch his name) go at each other. It will eventually turn into a cage match.

paburrows_rises -Fringe's first episode - almost no spoilers- check it out
by Michael Lunney
Fringe has a whole new lease on life by Charlie Jane Anders Here's our almost totally spoiler-free preview of the Fringe season five opener. So as you might already know, the final, 13-episode season of Fringe takes place in the dystopian future of 2036, which we glimpsed in last season's episode "Letters of Transit." The Observers have taken over the world, and are busy crushing the last vestiges of the human spirit with their bald-headed, well-haberdasheried psychic mind-fucks. The future's only hope is the Bishop family, who've been trapped in amber for 20 years and have a plan to defeat the invaders from the future. (Plus Astrid.) The big question mark hanging over Fringe season five was whether it could duplicate the dystopian intensity and excitement of "Letters of Transit" across 13 whole episodes — and based on watching the season opener, "Transilience Thought Unifier Model-11," I'd have to say it's looking good. The dystopian future looks just as nasty as it did the last time we glimpsed it, and the Observer regime is just as ugly and coercive — in fact, there are some new details added that make the Observers seem like even worse slavemasters than they did before. And the story of how the Bishops (and Astrid) fight back against the time-traveling invaders looks like it's going to give us a brand new mission statement, on the same level as "stop a war between two universes," the mission the team more or less completed at the end of season three. Based on the first episode, this is not going to be an easy fight, and there could be some serious heartbreak along the way. We get a down-payment on that sort of heartbreak in just the first episode. First and foremost, if you thought that John Noble completely owned your soul already, then he'll pick up just a little bit more of the title to it with this episode. Noble is in rare form as the tormented, totally psychotic Dr. Walter Bishop, and the closing moments of the episode might just wreck you a little, as Noble proves he doesn't even need to say a word to speak volumes. Fringe long ago settled into a comfy pattern* — most weeks, there would be a gruesome event in which someone died, and the Fringe team would investigate while Dr. Bishop made some inappropriate jokes and ate candy or pudding too close to the cadaver, and then in the end the gruesome death would turn out to be the work of someone who was doing unethical things for understandable reasons, like to save a loved one. And in the end, someone on the Fringe team would have learned an important lesson, that related to their own personal dilemmas or ongoing arc. And then occasionally, you'd have a full-blown "arc" episode, where there was no "case of the week." There was nothing wrong with any of that, except that it was starting to feel as though the "freak of the week" episodes were coasting a bit. So it's a pleasure to report that not only is the format totally gone out the window, so is any sense of coziness. The new season shows the Fringe team fighting a global occupation, by victorious forces that they barely know how to fight. And as a result, Fringe is more exciting than it's been since the two Olivias changed places. Huzzah.

If you think that there aren't any conservatives that think the war on drugs should end, then you've deluded yourself. Every government agency could withstand a 10% reduction. Except for the military. They could withstand a 20% reduction. If that surprises you, then it's because you haven't been listening. Instead, you've willingly accepted the lies propagated by the media and others about the TEA Party. We believe in shrinking the size of government everywhere, across the board, and everything is on the table. Everything. And that includes the war on drugs. You're the ones that have been growing the size of government. Don't like how the government spends money on things like the war on drugs? Then be a part of the solution and stop feeding the beast.
-
Yet, you deluded yourselves by aligning with the GOP.
-
while the tea party may want to reduce military spending, the people you elect don't. and jay so you think that family should be depending on the gvt to stop the kid from using? i thought conservatives didn't like gvt dependency? and also if anything they should send him to rehab, not jail.
-
Thanks a lot for sharing, I'm excited, I was actually kind of sad that they are leaving the old way of doing things since theres a number of storylines thats got dropped and will now never be picked up again (the guys going after Peter from his past in season 1, Peters debt to Nina and others) but this is going to be quite the rollarcoaster ride to an awesome finish. It reminds me of how JK Rowling toally changed things up for the final Harry Potter book with him not returning to Hogwarts and going on a full fledged search for the Horcruxes.
-
While I agree there are some Ron Paul disciples sprinkled among the Tea Party, I have concluded judging by large Facebook and workplace Tea party samples that the irrational suburban helicopter soccer mom and culture warrior view espoused by Jay have taken over the rank and file, hence me not taking them seriously. <P> It may make your day that I think the one group standing in the way of drug reform the most are prison guard unions, which is why I wasn't outraged much by Scott Walker's actions as most liberals.
-
going to be a fucking epic season!!! i don't really care if they go back to those old storylines or not, just give fans a great finish
-
*Thanks for answering my question. I'd still love to know where you get your 95% contention, but oh well.*--- if u cant understand that, then that speaks to ur common sense mentality. not surprised. *Also, thanks for calling me immoral. I'd rather be "immoral" in that sense than live in some kind of glass house and a be a holier-than-thou prick like you obviously are.*--- ur welcome. and im not *holier-than-thou*, just smarter than u. BTW- go fuck urself too :)
-
*.is to stir the proverbial hornets' nest that contains you sad, little partisan shills. It's what's known as baiting for hits. And it works every time.*--- and yet, here u are? ah the irony...
-
We weren't so deluded as to even bother trying to find footing in a party enforced by litmus test.
-
*If @jay85 was a color? Not surprisingly - He'd be white, like every other shit-stomping, inbred hayseed denizen of Flat Earth, USA*--- nice to see ur bigotry and hate are consistent. kinda like ur pig shit hero u idolize on HBO...

Jay, please answer this question "in a serious manner" (as Ben Stern would say)
by Toe Jam
Why is it you seem to hate Maher so much more than any other left-leaning talking head? He's one of the few liberals who consistently complains about Obama's deficiencies and mistakes, and he routinely breaks from standard liberal ideology. (His discussion about Islam on last night's episode was a great example, though I found very informative Rushdie's take on the subject.) Maher makes many mature, rational observations with which I think people on both sides of the aisle would agree. Maybe you realize how "dangerous" and logical this makes Maher, and I've answered my own question ...
-
Wrong! Again, either you aren't paying attention or you're swallowing media tripe whole. We hold who we elect accountable for their actions. And if they fail to deliver, we replace them in the primary. Some first-time incumbents from the 2010 sweep lost their House seat in the primary this year. And the people you elect want to reduce military spending *exclusively*.

The War on Drugs has less to do with the pharmaceutical industry's interests ...
by Toe Jam
Than it does with the historically puritanical mindset of American society. Sex (and homosexuality) has long been the primary enemy of the puritanical majority, but drug use is a close second. We're seeing the demonization of both quickly dissipate, and I have no doubt Obama will greatly relax both anti-same sex legislation and marijuana law(s) in his second term. It's glorious.
-
It's unfortunate that you've resorted to profiling, but I assure you we don't all measure up to those stereotypes. I for one think Ron Paul is absolutely batshit, yet I am pro-legalization of some drugs. And I'm not alone in this thinking within the TEA Party.

*Why is it you seem to hate Maher so much more than any other left-leaning talking head?*--- i dont hate him. *He's one of the few liberals who consistently complains about Obama's deficiencies and mistakes, and he routinely breaks from standard liberal ideology.*--- So? doing the correct thing is not commendable. hes still a racist, lying, bigoted misogynist and coward etc. *Maher makes many mature, rational observations with which I think people on both sides of the aisle would agree.*--- u lost the whole argument with this bullshit statement. he is the antithesis of mature and if u think *people on both sides* agree with anything he says, ur a tool box of stupidity. really, YOU'RE A FUCKING IDIOT. go lay down...

key word in your post is trying. they're trying to stop drugs except its not fucking working. at all. and your delusional if you think it is. when the gvt spends my tax dollars on social programs, it goes towards helping people, which im okay with. spending money on the drug war however does absolutely nothing! so its pointless to keep drugs illegal. of course its a good thing to try and stop drug use but no matter how much money the gvt spends the drugs are gonna keep coming in. also you obviously can't read either seeing how i said IF ANYTHING they should go to rehab. yea it doesn't work a lot of the time but it works a hell of a lot more than jail.

FUCK YOU, DIPSHIT. u all mad cause i called out ur hypocrisy? get used to it.
-
so, by ur idiot logic, we must just give up on rehab, right? its *pointless* too. good lord, u progressives are insufferable....
-
however long it takes. i guess u didnt read (not surprised) the part in my post where i stated we dont fight to WIN anymore. but, just to give up would be such a liberl/progressive thing to do. grow a spine.
-
...u amuse me also.
-
when will it end??
-
what's the sense in fighting a war if you can't win it? "let's keep fighting this endless game even if we have no chance of winning" is the new neocon message?
-
Mad?! How could that be when you've called out jack shit? Keep lying, loser. It seems to be the only thing you're capable of aside from wasting AICN's bandwidth.
-
besides your the one who said endless rehab stints didn't work. i was merely saying it works better than jail, even if it doesn't work all the time. if your a drug addict of course i think you should go to rehab, i just don't neccesarily think the gvt should force them to go.
-
*what's the sense in fighting a war if you can't win it?*--- thats just it, we need to START winning. fighting the war is and always will be the right thing to do. we just need to get these corrupt fuckers to WIN again, not give up like u. simple.

i can see the truth hurts. now, practice what u preach, and get off this talkback lol! BTW- keep go fucking urself :)

and rehab, in its current form, does not work. and jail works way better than rehab. consequences realized is the best method. a totally reformed rehab after to help. thats the reality. *i just don't neccesarily think the gvt should force them to go.*--- do fucking what? if u break laws, u have to to be punished. what world are u on man??

by jsfithaca
double-checked my post didn't see anything about giving up on rehab. and i guess maybe jail then rehab could work, i hadn't thought about that. you need to break the addiction though to stop people from using drugs, and its easy to get drugs in jail.

If you knew anyone in law enforcement (as I do, since my family operates a non-profit charity that does work in some of the poorest neighborhoods in Philadelphia, the 5th largest city in the US - You know...place where people actually live, not Bumfuck USA, population 2,000 gun-clutching, cheek-clinching nimrods who've never traveled outside their home zipcode...) In fact, a great many law enforcement officers I've spoken with (minimally) support legalization of pot - FACT: When a kid is pinched w/ a dime-bag of weed, it costs the tax payer (typically) in excess of $1,000 to have that sample sent to a lab, so its contents can be validated for the case against the offender; not only that, but rather than being out on the job, the beat cop must dedicate job-time to running this type of bureaucratic leg-work. And don't forget the cost to you the taxpayer (unless you're part of Mittens' mythical 47%) to arrest, incarcerate, house, feed, try / defend (because often, these folks can't afford legal representation) some stupid kid all adds up. When you step up to hard drugs like cocaine & heroin, the savings you net from disenfranchising the powerful drug cartels & the money (in billions) the US flushes down the drain annually paying lip-service to yet another pointless war on a proper noun (think "Terrorism"), the savings is geometric

OMG, that is spoken like someone who has never actually known a jailbird. Jail is the worst. Rehab doesn't have stellar success rates, but Jail creates a prison culture and the recidivism is intense. A lot of them actually end up more comfortable in jail than on the streets. I use the term "comfortable" loosely here. Hilariously, I actually came here to say that Top Model, which isn't even mentioned except in the headline, has gone from being good, to being so bad its' good, to being a total trainwreck, to being really unwatchable now. Honestly, I don't enjoy watching it at all except to see how incredibly low the show has sunk.

@jay85: Exactly, my dear lad - you've distilled the crux; in fact it is the laws that are at fault. Bravo!

You may want to cover this tomorrow w/ Sis & your kids during home-school: A kid gets pinched for -$100 weed. The county then sends said weed to a lab for positive ID @ a cost > (that's a fancy learnin' symbol for "greater than", BTW...) $1,000 to the taxpayer (that's us - well, I can't speak for farm folk who sponge subsidies from the same gub'mint they decry, but I digress). That's fairly simple math even you kids at the shallow-end of the gene-pool should twig...and it doesn't even cover processing, incarceration, court fees, et al...that's A LOT of Mountain Dew for your children's breakfast, jay. C'mon. I think you're slowly coming around!

One from the "You Can't Make This Shit Up" File: Little Wooden Boy Doesn't Know Why Windows on Jets Don't Open...

After his wife's plane was forced to make an emergency landing this weekend, Romney told the Los Angeles Times, he was worried for her safety: “When you have a fire in an aircraft, there’s no place to go, exactly, there’s no — and you can’t find any oxygen from outside the aircraft to get in the aircraft, because the windows don’t open. I don’t know why they don’t do that. It’s a real problem. So it’s very dangerous. And she was choking and rubbing her eyes. Fortunately, there was enough oxygen for the pilot and copilot to make a safe landing in Denver. But she’s safe and sound.” Let me handle that, Dr. Romney! 1) Opening a window (or windows) at high-altitude would depressurize the cabin, leaving passengers open to fatal risk for hypoxia 2) Oh, and Professor Fucknuts? Adding oxygen to a fire will in fact cause it to FEED flames, not make them go bye-bye. May want to keep this in mind when launching your "Open Windows on a Plane" initiative. God, this complete ASSHAT wants to be our PRESIDENT? http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-pn-romney-beverly-hills-fundraiser-20120922,0,2317962.story

More proof (not that any is needed) that Jay is an ignoramus who doesn't know what he's talking about...He believes that coke is a "hard drug." BWAH-HA-HA-HA! He drank the Kool-Aid for sure...by the gallon!

You guys are going a LONG way toward dispelling Romney's comments about the 47%.
