Where's Blackknight? Dude, you always seem to get your email questions answered - please send Bill the snopes link on this.

Urban Legends Reference Pages: Barack Obama and the National Anthem

What BULLSHIT!

I won't say the pledge or hold my hand over my heart. Seems like fascist/commie bullshit to me. Patriotism is government propaganda. I can love my country without this robot horseshit. So fuck you and all your conformist garbage (whoever tries to force me into slavish conformity - i'm not your fucking slave, you fucking father-fucker). What kind of cult-figure asshole would engage in such ritualistic nonsense?

Someone running for president of the country maybe?

Besides, I didn't comment on whether he should do it, just that it was false that he doesn't do it.

Plus, he's not kept up to date. more recent estiamtes show that methane from livestock isn't as high as previously projected. I'm of the mind that the oil and coal companies helped perpetuate the idea that livestock emissions were a larger source just so they could either or both paint global warming as a fringe idea and/or pass the buck of blame to something other than their own industries.

The show sucked on steroids tonight. The two conservatives dominated the discussion; Bill seemed ill informed about the topics they brought up (and let them get away with spewing UTTER BULLSHIT); and most importantly, IT WASN'T THAT FUNNY! I'm starting to think his writers did get material from our old board, and maybe we should drop them a line letting them know where we've gone.

I'm all for that. Though, I did smell my own comment about McCain leaking his own scandal to the NY Times to convince people he wasn't too old to get it up.

Bill is answering questions on his board?

You just said pretty much the same thing I did.

Whoever that "liberal" on the panel was, she was LOUSY.

Well it's one of those things where you just have to hammer away at it and ask a question that's easy for the panel to digest and is non biased. (Don't ask a question that attacks a panelist) I literally spend a few hours looking through the news for currents events and think of 5-10 questions and post them in hoping one sticks.

I do hope he makes a mention about the comments too, but the connies need something to cling onto

Yeah, that woman said almost nothing. Kingston dominated the debate. (Not in a good way) I will give him credit for going on the show however.

We're talking about how they answer questions submitted from the HBO website on the Overtime segment. Blacknight's had two of his answered.

I did, however, enjoy the jokes about McCain's age.

The "YouTube" vs. "The Feeding Tube" comment was great!

It IS the obvious (and funny) joke.

He's been on before, a couple of times. He got a free ride tonight though.
