Bill Maher Interview

Salon has an interview with Bill Maher. I've always been a Bill Maher fan, because he's smart and he says what he thinks. Actually many of my libertarian leanings came from watching his HBO specials when I was younger and thinking, "Hey, that makes a lot of sense."

The interview is Salon Premium content, but you can look at the four-page Mercedes ad and read it. Which made me laugh at the following quote:

Well, I traded my big Mercedes in for a hybrid about a year ago. A Toyota Prius. I talked about it an awful lot on the show. And I was constantly wondering "Why doesn't Toyota send me a little fruit basket?" And then it dawned on me: They don't want to sell this car, either! They're a for-profit car manufacturer. They don't care if I'm pushing the Prius -- they don't even want to make the Prius."
