One of the only guys that could step into a den of liberals and not only hold his own, but also have em laughing by the end of the debate. RIP Breitbart.

That's how they get ya...their original series created by oustiders(GoT, The Wire, Sopranos, Deadwood, Carnivale...etc etc) is so good that you have to subscribe to it. But their original movies or documentaries or Maher are so one-sided that you wanna puke. Plus HBOGO is pretty awesome too...can't stand their partisan stances on everything created by HBO, but someone in that boardroom knows what they're doing as far as the rest of the programming goes.

This show is pretty funny, and spot on. I was in Portland about a year before it came out and was asked when I got back to Jersey, 'So what's Portland like?' and all I could say was 'Very 90s'. Very much a city of extremes too...I've never seen so many health food nuts and crazy donut shops in one place. Probably the weirdest thing happened to me when I happened to be wearing my Reagan T-shirt in the style of Obama's Hope poster that says 'Right'. It had me getting stopped left and right(no pun intended), stared at for a second, then complete strangers would give me the thumbs up and say 'cool t-shirt' or something along those lines. It got to the point where my girlfriend at the time told me I couldn't wear that on any vacations anymore.

Another movie about conservatives written by liberals...think I'll pass on that one. Why HBO, why do you have to have such good original dramas and innovative web content in HBOGO that forces me to continue to subscribe?

Can we once and for all put to rest this notion that communism 'looks great on paper'. An ideology that's responsible for that many deaths doesn't work on paper, or in theory, or in practice. The best thing that ever happened to communism was Hitler and national socialism...and that's not exactly a ringing endorsement.

I don't mind candidates going on late night shows...but why's it gotta be Letterman? He's about as openly partisan as any of them and it's as if he has them on to kiss the ring and be his court jester. Go on Craig Ferguson's show...at least he seems like a decent guy, and it'd probably needle Letterman a little cause they're on the same network.

Can't wait till Catwoman gets nailed by both Bruce Wayne and Batman, if you catch my meaning hehehe. The Nolan brothers seem to be on to something in Hollywood...can't forget that it's Christopher's brother Jonathan that wrote the screenplay for all three Batman reboots and created 'Person of Interest'.

Yeah, full disclosure, a big reason that I'll keep watching is cause of Claire Danes...Morena Baccarin being in it doesn't hurt either, I try to follow as much of the old Firefly cast as I can. It does hurt seeing that they turned Dick Winters into an Al Qaeda operative, but the rest of the cast fills out nicely...especially Carrie's buddy who carries out all of her off the book black ops, the actors name doesn't come to mind right now.

I try not to look at certain shows/movies in black and white terms and this one happens to be a perfect example why. Cause if you look at it in a certain way, yeah, Carrie is nuts...but she's also been correct about everything, and she's about as rabid as an anti-terrorist operative can be and still have a job. So on the one had, yeah, the way they flip the marines seems kind of trivial...and I can nitpick all day(like I did previously)...but on the other hand, it kinda shows that being a little nuts(or out of the box, like I like to think of it) is what's needed at certain times in the war or terrorism. Carrie kinda reminds me of a Winston Churchill...sure they're pretty useless in times of peace...Carrie would probably spend most of her time banging her head against the wall waiting for a terrorist plot to spring...but in times of war, we absolutely need that kind of devoted person, who's sole mindset is focused a singular purpose.

Maybe I'm a glutton for punishment, but I'll watch season 2...cause I did like this show a lot, right up until the whole 'moral equivalency' garbage reared it's ugly head. Having never been in the military myself, I found it kinda odd how easily it seemed two well trained marines were turned against the country they were sworn to protect. I wonder how current and former marines felt about that.

Lets just say Brody does have a legitimate reason to have a beef with our government...wouldn't you think the play would be that once you got back onto US soil you would go right to the top of our government, tell them everything you know about Nazir(being that he's still a terrorist, and would have no problem setting off a bomb that would result in the killing of US children) AND everything you knew about what really happened with the drone strike...thus killing two birds with one stone and maintaining the idea that you will not stand for the killing of children anywhere in the world?

And poor old Tom Walker...he gets beaten by his sniper team partner to within an inch of his life apparently. And somewhere between faking his death and coming back to America he gets turned. Nasir's simple instructions...become a bum in the DC area until we need you. I dunno, a beating turns you to the enemy, wouldn't you think that the enemy telling you to become a homeless man for an undetermined amount of time would turn you again? If I were him I'd be shouting to the high heavens once I got back as well...listen, they tried to turn me, I'm supposed to do something at some point in time, probably set up a sniper nest somewhere and kill someone...but I want my pension, it ain't worth eating out of cardboard boxes. I dunno...hopefully Patinkin doesn't quit the show and his character has a one on one with Brody and smacks the hell out of him.

Somehow people still don't get it that when you're interviewed, that interview is out there for all time, for anyone to read. I'd have much more respect for him if, when he did this, he said, 'Listen, I don't like the lady or what she says...so I used my position as bandleader and needled her a bit.' I still wouldn't have agreed with what he did to a guest you invited onto your show....but man up and stick to your guns, instead of blatantly lying.
