Bill,

I loved your commencement speech to the Class of 2009. In fact, it really applies to anyone who's graduated from 2000 to the present.

We have a famous author speak at the University of MIchigan years ago. Your speech was actually practical, I've been feeling like giving up and getting angry at my parents' generation for some time now...so thanks for the validation. :)

Love Bill, but he's not doing it for me this year. New Rule: new writers.

The light is insidious. There are occasions when you do not want a light on .. ducking into a side street and turning off the lights to avoid mobsters (or cops) - can no longer be done.

[Lahonda]

If you're that thoughtful, remove the light.

...and good luck!

Um, Bill, I invented that gag in a novel published in 1991 about a game show called O-Pun Sesame. You're welcome to it, but I hope you read the book TV Safe. I mean, a few dozen other people did.

There are many things I like about my 1999 Chevy blazer but Chevrolet must have been in a "gadget" mode when they designed this one because there are lights on the dashboard for just about everything, and one that comes and goes telling you to "service" this vehicle soon. It is apparently an evac valve in the gas tank. If you don't service the car soon, it doesn't cause problems and somewhere near to empty the light goes off. The worry is there but my blood pressure has adapted; however, the only real problem time is when you need an inspection. You do have to take the car in for work every now and then though because real problems like an oil leak don't show up in the magic computer.

I truly enjoy Real Time, however this season has been lacking thus far IMHO.

[etcetc]

could be because the election is over.

[DoctorWhoDat]

Hey! Did ya ever think it might be the writers as well?

[LMPE]

It's good to have a 1985 Volvo. No need for all these frills.

New Rule Bill: Have on some conservatives on the show, instead of having a panel of all democrats who agree. There is nothing more boring then watching a show that debates political topics where everyone is in agreement!

[Octoberluna]

a comedy show is not a political round table

[Joethepauper]

Have them on so you can ask them questions nobody else has the cajones to ask them. Make them embarass themselves and show everyone their ignorance. Ask them what they think of Bush. After they answer, ask them why they so vigorously supported him until Jan 21st, but them threw him under the bus.

He did just that tonight and it was boring! New Rule! If you must have cons on the show, find some that are more than simple minded gop apologists. I can see that on the news. Amy Holmes was more gop nonsense and the old guy was barely alive. Savage had a few good moments but the whole show was muted and dull. E. Warren was the best part - at least she was informative. This season has been weak. Bring Garry Shandling back. Please!

[Sandmanj]

I saw it too and had to switch the channel it was so predictably boooorrrrrrrrrring.

Agree with everything you say except...

Gary Shandling? Pullleeeez­zz.... gag me with a spoon!

[Artamentous]

he does have conservatives on his show often IMO.

He used to have Coulter often. Although is she really a conservative? Or just someone who latched onto it because she realized what a goldmine writing crazy books could be.

[YeWight]

An even better rule, Bill - educate yourself about topics you relentlessly push (to the point of being boring) and on which you are often actually clueless. Comedy it is.

[etcetc]

you just disagree. and are upset about it

[Nostraboris]

thanks to this non-removable feature I get told "you left your lights on", all the time.
I can't exactly tell people trying to help out to f off, so I have to explain it every time.

very frustrating.

[Horus45]

Same here, or people asking you to turn off your lights when you can't because the lights are on all the time while the engine is running.

[Bushwillresign]

My light went out and I can't figure out how to fix it. Got me a flashlight, but it just rolls around under my seat. I'm okay though.

[floridalib]

I think he's just mailing it in at this point.....­..

[tnflyboy]

agreed

[negirl]

yep

[ddDinah]

HI Willie....

[MarkVA71]

LOL!

[MarionWatts]

Cute and clever play on words. Humourous.
