Real Time returns
I'm not much of a TV fanatic.
I have a couple of guilty pleasures, I admit, like "Gray's Anatomy" and, "Deal or No Deal." Hey, we all have our weaknesses.
There is one must-see program for me, however — "Real Time With Bill Maher" on HBO.
Maher returns to HBO tonight after a month or so hiatus. Presidential candidate John Edwards will be on the show as well.
I don't always agree with Maher, but I like the rawness of the discussion. Very earthy, it's the closest thing on TV you'll get to how real people talk about politics and social issues.
Maher is a Libertarian. There are times, frequently, when he assails the president. There are times when he supports him. Like I said, I don't always agree.
But, I like the grit, the punch. And, he's always got terrific guests.
It will be curious to see what he does with Congress as the House prepares today to vote on a limp, non-binding resolution against the president's surge of troops in Iraq. And, it will be interesting to see how he handles the president's announcement this morning that he intends to send more troops to Afghanistan.
My bet?
He'll go along with the House measure on Iraq, but support Bush on sending more troops to Afghanistan.
Check it out at 9 p.m. our time.
