Every week there are posts about who is on his show, what he said, etc., as though everyone is waiting breathlessly for the next Maher utterance from week to week.

I have never seen his show and haven't watched anything he's been on for maybe 20 years. Really, who gives a fuck what Maher says and who his guests are?
