Bill Maher recently released a new documentary called Religulous . Religulous is a new word that he created as a mix of religion and ridiculous and in many ways is very fitting the movie.
The documentary proves that religion is now the best way for dried up comedians to make money.

That might’ve sounded a bit harsh so I want you to know that I actually liked the movie.
Bill Maher is entertaining and comedic without being over the top.
He takes a questioning look at all religions in this movie.
He proposes that his view on religion is “I don’t know”, and tries to get religious people to convince him of the truth in the various in-congruences in their beliefs.

Being a comedian, Bill does not exclude things that most people will find funny such as interviewing a reverend of the religion, Cantheism.
During that interview, Bill smokes a few joints with Reverend Ferre van Beveren and laughs at his gullibility when he convinces him that his hair is on fire.

Some of the more high profile interviews are of a US senator, a pastor who claims to be the second coming of Jesus, an actor who plays Jesus in re-enactments of biblical events and more.
The results of this movie are entertainment and a down-to-Earth practical look at religion without the strong bias posed by Richard Dawkins in The God Delusion.

It isn’t a movie that will make you angry if you’re a religious person with unwavering beliefs but if you can’t take a joke, don’t watch it.
Otherwise, enjoy this movie because it is quite amusing.

Now I don’t want to speculate and say that every member of the GOP is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, but their reluctance to help the automakers is really harsh. Even the “man” in Washington is trying to help but nobody wants to be like Bush this time.

Enjoy the comic by Pat Bagley.

Jim Cramer, host of Mad Money, finally announced that he is seriously wanting the job of SEC chairman.

With a great plan on how to stabalize the market Jim Cramer would be perfect for the job.

Lets hope he gets this!

I don’t think it will ever make it into production because the Honda FC Sport is a 3-seater that is too good to be true. Click the link below to get a taste of why.
