I managed to do it, I procrastinated so long that I couldn't get a guest but still managed to put out a solo episode. New episode next week will be on Thursday, then presumably back to Wednesdays as normal.

maybe it’s my jet lag talking but what if Howard Dean had hosted Real Time instead

"Project For the New American Century is The Shunting" is the kind of genius analysis that will keep me listening and recommending this pod forever

The comedy bit on this Real Time is just a bloated version of the Simpson's "abortions for some, miniature American flags for others" joke from like 10 years earlier

Pardon my live-reacting: Really love how you unconsciously edit Maher. Re: the "you're sitting on it", you quoted him as "ladies - women" but he said "girls" 🤮

How long did the show have the ‘legacy/Prestige’ panelist spot? Seems like Carlin the prior week was the first, you have Vidal this week, Hitchens when he shows up. When did Norman Mailer die? Feels like he and Bill could do a whole long insufferable misogynistic riff

Every week I smile so hard when the worm of the week riff fades in

My hipster thing has been denying elections since ‘04 (or distrusting any results where corporate electronic voting machines are involved). Ohio was sus as hell.

Thanks for saying this, and id also like to ask forgiveness for doing this. Also vis-à-vis the joke about the new planet, isn’t step 0 of public speaking to know your audience? Bill doesn’t know libs won’t be amused by joking about immigrants doing his gardening? I badly want to drill down on this because of the logical implication.

I would actually post that Bill himself should have been awarded the David Frum Worm of the Week for the way he did the Howard Dean segment

It's now impossible for me to hear the name "Project for the New American Century" without hearing it in the tune of this classic insane 9/11 song, which I share here now to bring the rest of you people down with me because it's an all-time bop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMq1PiUbf-M
