Bill Maher had what I thought was a particularly good closing editorial last night on Real Time. If you're not going to catch one of the replays in the coming week, you might want to read the text of it, which you can do on this page at Salon. If you're not a Salon subscriber, you'll have to watch an online ad or two.
If you do watch the show, you might want to check out the text anyway. What got on the air was slightly rewritten with a number of trims, probably of lines that didn't elicit sufficient laughter at the Dress Rehearsal.
The speech is about the Mark Foley situation but from a different perspective than I've heard elsewhere. Our kids are harmed and threatened by a lot of things much worse than one oversexed Congressman. Why aren't we more concerned about those matters?
