Last night on "Real Time with Bill Maher" - Bill welcomed conservative LA Times writer Jonah Goldberg, author Matthew Dowd, and sports journalist Bob Costas with conservative reporter Amy Holmes (via satellite). Author and affable crusty conservative P.J. O'Rourke joined the panel as a visiting reporter.
Bill's show covered the usual points: Bush lying about the war (Both Goldberg and Dowd fought Maher on the finer points of the corruption charges leveled at Bush).
Then the show detoured into a pet topic of Maher's: The poisoning of Americans by their own diets and prescribed drug habits to rectify the ills of what they ingest.
Maher has fervently promoted the idea that Big Pharma is complicit with Big Agra and knows fully the dangers of all of us consuming cheap high-fructose corn syrup and and an unhealthy animal- based diet.
Vegan and PETA member Maher has long promoted the knowledge that the big food corporations "enhance" these products with growth hormones and steroids. This set off the panel in the Real Time twist of the night:
Maher's rant on drugs for this symptom, drugs for that, and even more drugs to counteract the side effects of the first veered off-topic for the sitting panelists.

I am 48 years old and have seen our country abdicated to the people who are in elected positions in all levels of government, in colustion with the large capitalist business leaders who are and have made a game of win or loose to maintain their power. A capitalist system is only that, a system that can be destroyed by its flaws and weakness, just as the 'Communist' system died in the USSR,history is littered with civilizations many of who survived for 5000 years as opposed to the UK's meager 233 years. I will be long dead, I thought before seeing any realistic scenarios that would kill our country, let alone the world. I was wrong. Its simple our economic future is directly tied to the technologies that are 'Green' Keep watching and we will be driven over the edge by idiot's that infect our government, who are they? If you cant spot a idiot, we have no hope. So spot the idiots, get rid of them and in between the time the idiots are voted out, help the competent and at this point even the marginally competent make the decisions that will save you me and our families, friends, pets and even the idiots, we need them as examples of why education is very important to survival. Hang on 'its going to be a bumpy ride'
