Bill Maher rips Republican Libertarians
Bill Maher on Friday's Real Tine ripped Republican Libertarians. Okay. A couple of things here. The two Republican libertarians he takes on are Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and Senator Rand Paul. (R-Ky) And while I agree that they do have some libertarian views, they're not really libertarians. I means these guys oppose abortion rights. That's a libertarian idea. Get government out of woman's bodies. I mean if both were libertarians, they would be members of the ACLU. Anyway, courtesy of Mediaite and HBO, here's Maher's New Rule.

Jon Stewart takes a look at recent Republican bigotry
Recently, Republicans have been making some prejudicial and stupid remarks. And folks, I can't make this stuff up. Congressman Don Young (R-Alaska) used the term "wetbacks" to describe Hispanic migrant workers. And Dr. Ben Carson, rising Republican star, compared gay marriage to bestiality and pedophiles. Of course, when it comes to insane Republicans, you've got to have Congressman Louie Gohmert. (R-Texas) He also has a thing about bestiality, only this time it's with gun support. Jon Stewart of the Daily Show has some great fun with it.
Roger Ebert passes away
If you get the 2003 special edition of Casablanca (1943), you'll get commentary from film critic Roger Ebert. Casablanca is one of the greatest films ever made. And it is my favorite movie. But if you're going to have a film critic comment on the greatest movie ever made, which one do you get? There was only one choice. It was legendary film critic Roger Ebert. Today, Roger passed away.
Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel ignited my love for film. It started with their PBS show Sneak Previews. Then they followed it up with a syndicated television show Siskel & Ebert & The Movies. Of the two, Roger Ebert was the least stuffy but they both loved smart, great cinema. But Ebert didn't talk down to readers and movie fans. He communicated his criticism in a easily digestible manner. That meant Ebert could educate the mass audience about film. And he made us appreciate the art of movies as well as the entertainment value. But I remember in the late seventies that they did a show called Guilty Pleasures. It was a fun show where they admitted their enjoyment of movies that other critics thought were no so good. It was one of my favorite of their review episodes.
Roger Ebert's film criticism didn't start with some ivory tower elitist thought. He knew movies. He wrote a screenplay for one, Beyond the Valley of the Dolls. (1970) He turned his experience and intellect into a source of astute film criticism. In 1975, Ebert became the first film critic to win the Pulitzer Prize. Filmmakers should read Roger Ebert's reviews to find out what makes bad cinema and what makes great movies. He will be missed. God speed Roger Ebert.
