Wow, she hasn't made me laugh since like 2004! Yay, I missed her. <3

"...neither one of us has ever made any concessions to political correctness. Let's talk about how great we are for doing that!"

Concessions to political correctness?

First, "political correctness" is only a "burden" for people who WANT to spew hate, but are resentful because they feel reined in. Second, even the term "political correctness" has a transparently sneering feel about it. Like empathy and common decency are just masks you're supposed to wear, and not traits that you should actually want, or be proud to have.

Fuck you very much Bill Maher, but being decent to others was something I was taught very early on by my family, and if that learning moment missed you, there was always kindergarten, fucker.

(and there goes another dollar into the swear jar, but it was worth it.)

@the_decider:

As a person who fucks, I find your use of the word "fucker" as a derogatory term very offensive. "Fucker" implies that there is something wrong with those of us who partake in fuckery, and I find that quite insensitive on your part. Those of us who are fuckers are trying so hard to gain acceptance in these anti-fucking times, please don't contribute to the hate!

Please refrain from using such hateful speech.

(and if you don't like holding back, remember, it's your need to spew hate that makes you dislike the rules)

WTF WAS THIS? Bill Maher's guests were having an intelligent discussion, and then he brings her out for 20 minutes to talk about nothing. I swear he was trying to have sex with her. They were giving each other fuck-me eyes.

I liked this whole thing but I feel weird about the C word - anybody? Anybody? I don't know if I am offended because of my WASPy conservative upbringing or my post-college feminist awakening. The word just grates on me.

@kkatt: It's a good point. I used to get all upset about it, but then I realized lately it seems to be rewarded behavior. Tina Fey made a good point in that 30 Rock episode by stating there isn't any masculine equivalent ("fungdark" didn't cut it), although "prick" comes closer than any other word. The word, when used properly, can be funny and also effective. Sometimes there is no other word to describe....what it's describing. Also, if you put "--bag" at the end of it, it makes it funnier and slightly less offensive.

@kkatt: I once had a male teacher that used every other swear in the book but refused to use the C-word. He had a whole explanation about female solidarity to go behind it and I really respected that. Now every time I use the word I feel bad that I'm not keeping up my end of the solidarity bargain. This same teacher encouraged me to write my first paper on the topic of feminism as well.

@kkatt: I feel weird about it, mostly because the one setting where I heard it the most was in a kitchen full of men, and they used it with such hate and vitriol. I agree that words are only and strong as the power that you give them, but this one brings back such bad memories for me that it always gives me pause.

I'm still trying to guess what she and bill Maher shared during that visit at the Playboy Mansion. Although, something tells me I'm better off not knowing.

Well I've known for decades my c*nt is rude, thoughtless, and downright selfish. Letting Aunt Flo visit at the most inconvenient of times. Very particular about what kind of male meat is fed to her. And sometimes she just smells funny.

I'm on the fence. Sometimes I love this chick and sometimes she just makes me uncomfortable. But she's smart, she's cute, and she says what I'm thinking and so it evens out to "like." I like her.

Also, she plays Marci Maven on Monk which just makes it impossible for me NOT to like her.

Sarah Silverman, like the Chicago Bears, is maddeningly inconsistent. She has moments of brilliance and hilarity and times when I am interested in what she has to say, and then she has Rex Grossman moments where it's like 6 jokes in a row about Nazis having an S&M orgy with her grandparents.

This was not a Rex Grossman moment.

You're the bravest girl I know.

Oh, I don't know about that. I'm not sure what Hef's "girlfriends" are contractually obligated to do to him/each other in what can only be called the Bedroom of the Damned, but venturing into that little arrangement strikes me as pretty dang brave. I feel terrorized just thinking about it.

Normally I don't find her funny, but I kind of liked this.

And her reasons for going to the Playboy mansion sound like what would be my reasons for going. Just to take it all in and think about how normal and lucky I am.

God, Kathy Griffin is 100 times funnier and doesn't even have 1/10th the success of this 'comedian.' She's the dirty heathen version of Dane Cook, not funny. Seriously.

@bluebears: Consider how long Griffin had to do her shtick before she finally got to that place. Versus 'tehehe Nazi jokes are funny' Silverman, who basically goes on stage and say stupid and crass shit in a Paris Hilton voice and expects a pat on the back.

You know what I think when I have those days where I just want to curse the world and Im being a bitch Im going to spin it into something positive and say that Im just being a diva and then skip away in blissful ignorance.

Its always so presumptuous to give yourself a title like that. For example, I have always wanted to be a fag hag and I have plenty of enough gays to be one but I knew better than to assume that I was one. I waited until one of them gifted me that title and when they did it was like the heavens parted and a glorious light shined down on me
