"Move over Rembrandt, Picasso, Stan Lee, here comes Branco. Okay, I'm hyperventilating. Tony combines beautiful drawings with biting politically incorrect wit and laugh out loud humor." -LarryElder - TV and Radio personality at at Fox News and KRLM AM 870

Lighten things up! Political discussions and debates don't always have to be deep and long-winded arguments with points and counter points. Sometimes we just need to take a step back from it all and have a good laugh. With so many discouraging things happening in our country lately, that's the only thing we can do to keep from crying.

Conservative artist Antonio Branco is a master at encapsulating deep and complex issues in a simple comic. In this first book in a series, he takes on a wide array of issues, from food stamps to global warming to foreign policy, Antonio isn't afraid to say what he thinks.

Presented in a coffee table book style, this is the perfect conversation starter with friends and family that pick it up and start glancing through it's pages. Who knows, that liberal aunt of yours just might come over to the right side because of this book!

80 pages, hardcover. Measures 10" x 8".

FROM THE AUTHOR:

I am not a writer; I am a cartoonist. Okay, so maybe I was drawing anddoodling in class when I should have been focusing on other things, likecreative writing, but it has brought me to where I am now: combiningtwo of my passionsart and politics.

In this book, I present a portion of my political perspective, one which I believeis shared by many Americans. May this collection serve to make you laugh,make you think, and to help remind you that the things that made Americagreat are being challenged but they are still worth fighting for. Antonio Branco, conservative artist and cartoonist

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Political cartoonist extraordinaire, A.F.Branco, has joined the team at Liberty Alliance. Consequently, readers will now be able to enjoy his razor-sharp political humor on a regular basis. Are you concerned about the people who President Obama views as his mentors? If so, picture this. An angry looking Frank Marshall Davis is seen spouting his well-known, threadbare communist diatribes (e.g. spread the wealth, if you are success somebody else made that happen, the private sector is doing fine). In his hands he holds a mask of Barack Obama which he has just taken off. The caption reads: The ideology behind the gaffe mask. Priceless satire

With this brilliantly executed political cartoon, Branco proved that a picture can indeed be worth a thousand words. In fact, with an artfully crafted caricature and a context that is nothing short of creative genius, Branco made a statement more powerful than my fellow authors and I have been able to make in our lengthy columns on this subject. Only the best political cartoonists are able to do this, and Branco is one of the best. Even as I write this column, his fan base is spreading. His cartoons have already gained an international audience. His popular appeal among conservatives recently led to an interview on FOX News.

Branco describes himself as somewhere between the Far Side and the right side of every issue. He sits at his desk daily crafting comically and politically-incorrect cartoons that say with humorous satire what conservatives really think, but lack the opportunity to say to a broad audience. After years of listening to the squeaky wheel of the left advancing the cause of radicalism, Branco decided to use the power of his bully palette to advance the conservative movement. Conservatives worldwide can be glad he did. According to Branco, The art and humor of political cartoons has since the dawn of the Republic been a way to sway those who might not otherwise be persuaded.

As a political cartoonist, Branco joins a long line of notables who have used humorous satire to drive in the nail without breaking the board on political issues. There is something about the human psyche that makes humor an effective meansoften the most effective meansof making a point, revealing political hypocrisy, or pointing out falsehoods. The most famous political cartoonist of them all, Thomas Nast, helped bring down the corrupt Boss Tweed organization that had long controlled and manipulated New York politics. His razor-sharp satire and ability to create contextual allusions turned out to be more powerful than even the once all-powerful Boss Tweed. But even before there was Thomas Nast, there was Benjamin Franklin, Americas first political cartoonist. Franklins Join or Die cartoon in which the severed parts of a snake depict the original colonies is widely acknowledged as the first political cartoon in America.

First there was Franklin. Then there was Nast. Now there is Branco. A.F. Branco is the latest rising star in a long line of political cartoonists, and his work already surpasses some of the giants in the business. I encourage readers to enjoy his creative and humorous satire and to spread the word that Branco. At long last we have a conservative political cartoonist whose sharp mind, able pen, and incisive wit counteract the destructive falsehoods, distortions, and manipulation of the left-leaning mainstream media. Branco is a surgeon and his pen is his scalpel, an instrument he wields with laser-like precision in cutting through the philosophical morass of liberal orthodoxy.

Love or hate Trump, this letter seems to reflect the feelings of many out there:

An Open Letter to the Conservative Media Explaining Why I Have Left the Movement

by: John Kluge March 3, 2016

Let me say up front that I am a life-long Republican and conservative. I have never voted for a Democrat in my life and have voted in every presidential and midterm election since 1988. I have never in my life considered myself anything but a conservative. I am pained to admit that the conservative media and many conservatives reaction to Donald Trump has caused me to no longer consider myself part of the movement. I would suggest to you that if you have lost people like me, and I am not alone, you might want to reconsider your reaction to Donald Trump. Let me explain why.

First, I spent the last 20 years watching the conservative media in Washington endorse and urge me to vote for one candidate after another who made a mockery of conservative principles and values. Everyone talks about how thankful we are for the Citizens United decision but seems to have forgotten how we were urged to vote for the coauthor of the law that the decision overturned. In 2012, we were told to vote for Mitt Romney, a Massachusetts liberal who proudly signed an individual insurance mandate into law and refused to repudiate the decision.

Before that, there was George W. Bush, the man who decided it was Americas duty to bring democracy to the Middle East (more about him later). And before that, there was Bob Dole, the man who gave us the Americans with Disabilities Act.

I, of course, voted for those candidates and do not regret doing so. I, however, am self-aware enough to realize I voted for them because I will vote for virtually anyone to keep the Left out of power and not because I thought them to be the best or even really a conservative choice. Given this history, the conservative medias claims that the Republican party must reject Donald Trump because he is not a conservative are pathetic and ridiculous to those of us who are old enough to remember the last 25 years.

Second, it doesnt appear to me that conservatives calling on people to reject Trump have any idea what it actually means to be a conservative. The word seems to have become a brand that some people attach to a set of partisan policy preferences, rather than the set of underlying principles about government and society it once was. Conservatism has become a dogs breakfast of Wilsonian internationalism brought over from the Democratic Party after the New Left took it over, coupled with fanatical libertarian economics and religiously-driven positions on various culture war issues. No one seems to have any idea or concern for how these positions are consistent or reflect anything other than a general hatred for Democrats and the Left.

Lost in all of this is the older strain of conservatism. The one I grew up with and thought was reflective of the movement. This strain of conservatism believed in the free market and capitalism but did not fetishize them the way so many libertarians do. This strain understood that a situation where every country in the world but the US acts in its own interests on matters of international trade and engages in all kinds of skulduggery in support of their interests is not free trade by any rational definition. This strain understood that a governments first loyalty was to its citizens and the national interest. And also understood that the preservation of our culture and our civil institutions was a necessity.

All of this seems to have been lost. Conservatives have become some sort of schizophrenic sect of libertarians who love freedom (but hate potheads and abortion) and feel the US should be the policeman of the world. The same people who daily fret over the effects of leaving our society to the mercy of Hollywood and the mass culture have somehow decided leaving it to the mercies of the international markets is required.

Third, there is the issue of the war on Islamic extremism. Let me say upfront that, as a veteran of two foreign deployments in this war, I speak with some moral authority on it. So please do not lecture me on the need to sacrifice for ones country or the nature of the threat that we face. I have gotten on that plane twice and have the medals and t-shirt to prove it. And, as a member of the one percent who have actually put my life on the line in these wars movement conservatives consider so vital, my question for you and every other conservatives is just when the hell did being conservative mean thinking the US has some kind of a duty to save foreign nations from themselves or bring our form of democratic republicanism to them by force? I fully understand the sad necessity to fight wars and I do not believe in blow back or any of the other nonsense that says the world will leave us alone if only we will do that same.

At the same time, I cannot for the life of me understand how conservatives of all people convinced themselves that the solution to the 9-11 attacks was to forcibly create democracy in the Islamic world. I have even less explanations for how 15 years and 10,000 plus lives later conservatives refuse to examine their actions and expect the country to send more of its young to bleed and die over there to save the Iraqis who are clearly too slovenly and corrupt to save themselves.

The lowest moment of the election was when Trump said what everyone in the country knows: that invading Iraq was a mistake. Rather than engaging the question with honest self-reflection, all of the so called conservatives responded with the usual How dare he? Worse, they let Jeb Bush claim that Bush kept us safe. I can assure you that President Bush didnt keep me safe. Do I and the other people in the military not count? Sure, we signed up to give our lives for our country and I will never regret doing so. But doesnt our commitment require a corresponding responsibility on the part of the president to only expect us to do so when it is both necessary and in the national interest?

And since when is bringing democracy to Iraq and Afghanistan so much in the national interest that it is worth killing or maiming 50,000 Americans to try and achieve? I dont see that, but I am not a Wilsonian and used to, at least, be a conservative. I have these strange ideas that my government ought to act in Americas interests instead of the rest of the worlds interests. I wish conservatives could understand how galling it was to have a fat, rich, career politician who has never once risked his life for this country lecture those of us who have about how George Bush kept us safe.

Donald Trump is the only Republican candidate who seems to have any inclination to act strictly in Americas interest. More importantly, he is the only Republican candidate who is willing to even address the problem. Trump was right to say that we need to stop letting more Muslims into the country or, at least, examine the issue. And like when he said the obvious about Iraq, the first people to condemn him and deny the obvious were conservatives.

Somehow, being conservative now means denying the obvious and saying idiotic fantasies like Islam is the religion of peace, or Our war is not with Islam. Uh, sorry but no it is not, and yes it is. And if getting a president who at least understands that means voting for Trump, then I guess I am not a conservative.

Fourth, I really do not care that Donald Trump is vulgar, combative, and uncivil and I would encourage you not to care as well. I would love to have our political discourse be what it was even thirty years ago and something better than what it is today. But the fact is the Democratic Party is never going to return to that and there isnt anything anyone can do about it. Over the last 15 years, I have watched the then-chairman of the DNC say the idea that President Bush knew about 9-11 and let it happen was a serious position held by many people, watched the vice president tell a black audience that Republicans would return them to slavery if they could, watched Harry Reid say Mitt Romney was a tax cheat without any reason to believe it was true, and seen an endless amount of appalling behavior on the part of the Democrats which is too long to list here and which I am sure you are aware. And now you tell me that I should reject Trump because he is uncivil and mean to his opponents? Is that some kind of a joke? This is not the time for civility or to worry about it in our candidates.

Fifth, I do not care that Donald Trump is in favor of big government. That is certainly not a virtue but it is not a meaningful vice since the same can be said of every single Republican in the race. I am sorry but the we are just one more Republican victory from small government card is maxed out. We are not getting small government no matter who wins. So Trump being big government is a wash.

Sixth, Trump offers at least the chance that he might act in the American interest instead of the worlds interest or in the blind pursuit of some fantasy ideological goals. There is more to economic policy than cutting taxes, sham free trade agreements, and hollow appeals to cutting government and the free market. Trump may not be good, but he at least understands that. In contrast, the rest of the GOP and everyone in Washington or the media who calls themselves a conservative has no understanding of this.

Rubio would be as Laura Ingram pointed out this week nothing but a repeat of the Bush 43 administration with more blood and treasure spent on the fantasy that acting in other peoples interests indirectly helps ours. Cruz might be somewhat better, but it is unclear whether he could resist the temptations of nation building and wouldnt get bullied into trying it again. And as much as I like Cruz on many areas he, like all of them except Trump, seems totally unwilling to admit that the government has a responsibility to act in the nations interests on trade policy and do something besides let every country in the world take advantage of us in the name of free trade.

Consider the following. Our country is going broke, half its working-age population isnt even looking for work, faces the real threat of massive Islamic terrorist attack, and has a government incapable of doing even basic functions. Meanwhile, conservatives act like cutting Planned Parenthood off the government or stopping gays from getting marriage licenses are the great issues of the day and then have the gumption to call Donald Trump a clown. It would be downright funny if it wasnt so sad and the situation so serious.

It is not that I think Donald Trump is some savior or an ideal candidate. I dont. It is that I cannot for the life of me given the sorry nature of our current political class understand why conservatives are losing their minds over him and are willing to destroy the Republican Party and put Hillary into office to stop him. All of your objections to him either apply to many other candidates you have backed or are absurd.

I dont expect you to agree with me or start backing Trump. I would, however, encourage you to at least think about what I and others have said and to understand that the people backing Trump are not nihilists or uneducated hillbillies looking for a job. Some of us are pretty serious people and once considered ourselves conservatives. Even if you still hate Trump, you owe it to conservatism to ask yourself how exactly conservatism managed to alienate so many of its supporters such that they are now willing to vote for someone you loath as much as Trump.

I would also encourage you to stop insulting Trump voters. Multiple conservative journalists Kevin Williamson to name one have said, in so many words, that Trump supporters are welfare queens, losers, uneducated, and bums. I am a Trump supporter. My father is a Trump supporter. We both went to war for this country. My father spent 40 years in the private sector maintaining this thing we like to call the phone system. I have spent the last 20 years in the Army and toiling away doing national security and law enforcement issues for the federal government. Just what exactly have any of the people saying these things ever done for the country? Where do they feel entitled to say these things? And more importantly, why on earth do they think it is helping their cause?

I am sorry, even if you can convince me Trump is the next Hitler, I dont want to be associated with that. I dont want to be associated with a movement that calls other Americans bums and welfare queens because they support the wrong candidate. If I wanted to do that, I would be a leftist.

Perhaps none of this means anything to you and the movement has left me behind. If it has, I think conservatives should understand that it is leaving a lot of people like me behind. I cant see how that is a good thing.

As fans of the late Christopher Hitchens cycle through the five stages of grief, it's interesting to see which of his opinions can still inspire the kind of anger that is unlikely to ever fade into acceptance. There are, of course, the obvious candidates: his characterization of Bill Clinton as "a rapist" or his vilification of Mother Teresa as "a fanatic, a fundamentalist, and a fraud. " There is also his oh-so-chivalrous shout-out to the Dixie Chicks, whom he called "fat slugs" (or "slags" or "sluts" depending on your source)

If you've only seen Bill Maher on HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher" or ABC's "Politically Incorrect," you haven't really seen Bill Maher. In concert he is, paradoxically, more relaxed and intense. Freed from the five-minute monologue and the host's chair, he moves with a flexible prowl. He plays with and off his fans, without pandering to them. He fearlessly reacts to whatever is happening in the moment. Three years after he filled the Lyric, Maher brings his stage act to the Hippodrome at 8 p.m. tonight.

The words "domestic violence" typically invite images of bruised women and children - and male perpetrators. But the real picture of domestic violence isn't so clear-cut. And the solution to family violence is far more complex than our current criminal justice approach can handle. For about 30 years now, we've been throwing money and punishment at domestic violence with not enough to show for it. Estimates are that more than 32 million Americans are affected by domestic violence each year, with many of those in need of help never reporting their abuse.

Listening to Marc Steiner on the phone is just like listening to him on radio. In a fast-paced, scratchy baritone, he talks about a wide range of topics from his love of the city to his love of reading -- he even confesses a love of large trucks. The Baltimore native, 60, hosts a daily talk show on WYPR-FM that's among the station's most popular. On this day, he's just finished interviewing E.L. Doctorow and preparing to attend a reception for the author, where Steiner will be the host -- of course.

WASHINGTON -- A lot of people have their shorts bunched in a knot over a decision by the CBS reality game show Survivor: Cook Islands to divide its competing "tribes" by race and ethnicity. No surprise there. We have enough wars to worry about these days without having one put forth as prime-time entertainment, even if it's all in good fun. Hispanics Across America founder Fernando Mateo called the Survivor move an "offensive and cheap trick" to boost ratings, which is undoubtedly true, but hardly the first time networks have done that.

Confront the threat from radical Islam It's amazing that the liberal Democratic talking points about how President Bush's policies have created more terrorists and fomented hatred toward the United States seem to be gaining currency ("Bush frames touchy topics as winners for Republicans," Aug. 22). Of course, this spurious point of view conveniently omits the fact that the single most devastating attack against us in our history was plotted and planned well before the Bush administration ever existed.

Im Monat Februar 2016 gab es weder nach oben noch nach unten groe Ausschlge in der Statistik. Interessant ist lediglich, das PI-News nur an 6 von 29 Tagen unter 100.000 Besuchern war und in den letzten 13 Tagen sogar in Folge ber 100.000 Besucher. Das ist deswegen besonders zu erwhnen, da weiterhin DDos-Angriffe stattfinden, weswegen es Einschrnkungen fr die Besucher gibt, die an der schwachen Zugriffsrate von knapp 277.000 abzulesen sind.

Liebe Leser, seit gestern etwa 20.30 Uhr wird PI-news massiv attackiert, die Attacken halten bis zur Stunde unvermindert an. Die Bundesregierung hat dem deutschen Volk den Krieg erklrt und Medien und Asyllobby als tatkrftige Verbndete. Auf sozialen Netzwerken wie Facebook soll die Meinungsfreiheit de facto abgeschafft werden, die Brger drfen aber seitens der Politik als Mischpoke, Ratten und Pack bezeichnet werden. PI ist damit als Schlachtschiff der Meinungsfreiheit nicht nur den von uns seit vielen Jahren verbal attackierten und real dargestellten Koranhrigen und ihren Verbnden und den linken Meinungsfaschisten ein Dorn im Auge, sondern nun auch vermehrt dem Establishment einer derzeit in Installation befindlichen Diktatur. Wir sind zuversichtlich, PI wird aber auch diese Angriffswelle, wie schon viele der vergangenen Jahre, berstehen und bemhen uns so rasch wie mglich wieder online gehen zu knnen. Wir danken im Voraus fr Ihre Geduld. Bleiben Sie uns gewogen.

PI-News steuert stark auf die 100.000 Besuchermarke zu. Der Monat August war der zweitbeste Besucher- und Zugriffsmonat seit bestehen von PI-News. Im Anfang des Monats gab es einen zweitgigen PI-News-Server-Ausfall der in die Statistikerhebung nicht einfliet. Schon in diesem Monat wurde 14mal die 100.000er Besuchermarke berschritten. PI-News geht davon aus, dass noch in diesem Jahr sich die tgliche Besucherzahl auf monatlich ber 100.000 verfestigen wird. Sicherlich trgt zum Erfolg von PI-News die anhaltende und unverantwortliche kopf- und ziellose Asyl-Politik der Bundesregierung bei, aber auch und besonders die daraus resultierenden Konflikte im Alltagsleben der Normalbrger, vor der immer weniger selber noch flchten knnen. Schon zum Winter hin wird bei der deutschen Bevlkerung die Verdrngungsnot bei Wohnung, Arbeit und Soziales ein zunehmendes Konfliktpotential entfalten. Auch drfte die dunkle Jahreszeit fr erhhte Sicherheitsngste sowohl im ffentlichen wie im privaten Bereich fhren.

Das ist insoweit erstaunlich, da in den frheren Ferienzeiten ein allgemeiner Einbruch von ca. 10-15 % blich war. Das anhaltende, ungelste und stetig sich verschlimmernde Dauerthema der unkontrollierten Zuwanderungsstrme (Stichwort: Asyl-Irrsinn), mit immer drastischeren Einschrnkungen und Gefhrdungserhhung gegenber den einheimischen europischen Vlkern, drfte der Grund hierfr sein. Die durchschnittliche Besucherzahl beluft sich im Monat Juli auf 84.075 (nach altem Zhler ca. 125.000) und die durchschnittliche Zugriffszahl betrgt 252.790 und liegen im oberen Drittel des prognostizierten Erwartungsrahmens.

PI-News endlich wieder auf statistischen Erfolgskurs! Der Monat Juni 2015 war gegenber dem katastrophalen Monat April eine deutliche Verbesserung und ohne technischen Problemen. Am Anfang des Monats gab es leider bis zum 03.06. unabhngig von PI-News keine Erhebung von Daten durch den Counter, die statistisch einbezogen werden knnen. Die durchschnittliche Besucherzahl beluft sich im Monat Juni auf 78.006 (nach altem Zhler knapp 120.000) und die durchschnittliche Zugriffszahl auf 225.784 und liegen somit wieder im prognostizierten mittleren steigernden Erwartungsrahmen.

Politically Incorrect: A Eulogy Maher was one of the few with enough guts to dissent

by Chris Raphael

When ABC moved to cancel Nightline and replace it with Letterman, a furor arose in the public and press. Where was the furor when ABC censored then canceled Politically Incorrect?

In yet another effort to appeal to younger viewers and bring in more advertising dollars, ABC recently canned Politically Incorrect and host Bill Maher in favor of a new "variety" show with Jimmy Kimmel, host of Comedy Central's The Man Show. Politically Incorrect, with about 2.5 million viewers, never took off the way ABC expected, always trailing Letterman (approximately 4 million viewers) and Leno (6 million viewers) for market share. It was just a matter of time before ABC buried the show, which it also brought over from Comedy Central in 1997.

But the final kiss on Politically Incorrect's casket may have been Maher's "coward" comments, and the subsequent rebuke from the White House. Maher became an example of what can happen during those unusual periods in American history when the national discourse is so unified that the public, armed with a twisted truth, moves to stifle speech and the media and government comply.

Let us pause to remember.

In the weeks after September 11, critics wondered how late-night talk shows would change. Predictably, Leno and Letterman told fewer and safer jokes, mostly at the expense of easy targets like the Taliban and Osama bin Laden. The Daily Show's Jon Stewart was so shaken he cried. But Politically Incorrect, true to form, crashed the somber late-night party. Appearing on Sept. 17 for the first show since the attacks, Maher made it starkly clear his show would live up to its name.

"I do not relinquish - nor should any of you - the right to criticize, even as we support, our government," Maher said. "This is still a democracy and they're still politicians, so we need to let our government know that we can't afford a lot of things that we used to be able to afford. Like a missile shield that will never work for an enemy that doesn't exist. We can't afford to be fighting wrong and silly wars. The cold war. The drug war. The culture war."

What Maher said later in the show, however, is what made headlines. Panelist Dinesh D'Souza mentioned that he didn't think the terrorists were "cowards," as George Bush had described them. Maher replied: "We have been the cowards. Lobbing cruise missiles from two thousand miles away. That's cowardly. Staying in the airplane when it hits the building. Say what you want about it. Not cowardly. You're right."

A few last words from Bill Maher

Appearing on Larry King in January and February to defend his show, Bill Maher let loose a tirade:

"If the theory is that terrorists get some of their money from drugs, well, let's go to where they get their real money from, oil instead of putting a flag on your SUV, which is just going to put more money in the pockets of people who fund terrorism, change the car, not the flag."

"I certainly worry about naming something the Patriot Act, because that's a form of intimidation...who could vote against the Patriot Act, you know, really? You can legalize crack if you had Patriot Act on top of it."

"We do have this sort of arrogance that [American] lives are worth more than yours. And human life - we're supposed to be a religious country - is human life. It's not an American life. And whenever there is an accident overseas, you always hear, you know, 150 people were killed, two were Americans. Two were Americans! That's what gets us interested in [it."

"You know, the Congressman who said that this was a bank robbery and Enron robbed the bank, and Andersen, the accounting company drove the getaway car? He left out that Congress and the president are the cops paid to look the other way."

"There are 11 dating shows opposite me. You could watch any one of them."

Robert Thompson, director of Syracuse University's Center for the Study of Popular Television, says Maher's commentary was alone in its criticism of the U.S. government. "He was the only dissenting voice out there that week," said Thompson. And for that dissent, Maher paid a heavy price.

The Los Angeles Times reported that the comment went unnoticed at ABC until a conservative talk show host in Houston hosted byDan Patrick urged listeners to complain to two of the show's advertisers, Sears and Federal Express, who subsequently dropped their ads. Several ABC affiliates temporarily dropped Maher, including what one would think a key market for the show - WJLA in Washington, D.C.

Maher's "coward" comments, misinterpreted as saying the U.S. military was "cowardly," also found its way to the ears of the White House. U.S. Press Secretary Ari Fleischer, responding to a question about the comments, said he had not read the show's transcript. He nevertheless urged Americans "to watch what they say."

"This is not a time for remarks like that," Fleischer said, adding, "There never is."

By admonishing Maher, said media critic Thompson, Fleischer tried to solidify the national consensus and control the press. "Bill Maher becomes this perfect example of what happens if you step outside that consensus," Thompson said. In at least one instance, that strategy paid off: WJLA dropped the show again after Fleischer's remarks, and hasn't brought it back since.

Politicians have long realized the power of late-night television, talk shows and sitcoms as a public relations tool. Dana Carvey's impersonation of President Bush on Saturday Night Live made "points of light" a household phrase, though few viewers actually saw the speech in which George Bush the elder uttered the phrase. Dan Quayle had a running feud over single motherhood with Murphy Brown. Bill Clinton appeared on The Arsenio Hall Show; George Bush and Al Gore have chatted with Oprah.

Maher's show, however, stood out for its hybrid blend of politics and comedy and its ability, in a time of war, to alter the national discourse and step out of line when other shows played follow-the-leader. ABC News noted that a "vein" of Maher's criticism may have been reiterated when President Bush warned Congress that the war on terrorism would be different than Kosovo: ground troops would be used. In other words, America is not a cruise missile-firing coward.

That Maher was able to rankle the political process is a testament to his individuality, intelligence and brash style. A self-described libertarian, Maher defies the two-party punditry system in government on newspaper op-ed pages and on television talk shows - George Wills on one side, Paul Begalas on the other. Maher supported the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, but he's also cracked jokes about the Bush administration's misguided environmental policies and its crooked energy deals.

It is no wonder that those who rushed to the show's defense include both civil liberties groups and the likes of Rush Limbaugh. Maher never fit neatly into a black-and-white world of with-us or against-us, and probably couldn't fit in at all after September 11.

Like all shows, Politically Incorrect had its weaknesses. On one hand, it can be "entertaining to hear the opinions of people who know nothing about a subject," Thompson noted. On the other hand, "why would I care what Fred Savage thinks about something like the war in Iraq?"

"What bothered me was that there was this eagerness to stifle dissension," Thompson said, "that we needed to silence Maher."

PhilipGlenister has become the new favorite to replace booted Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gear and hes already an outspoken car enthusiast.

Glenister is well known in the UK for his role as a politically-incorrect detective, DCI Gene Hunt, in Life on Mars.

The Guardian reported that Glenister has now taken the lead as favourite, replacing Great British Bake Off host Sue Perkins as most likely to take on the role.

Odds have been slashed from 10-1 to 2-1 after the Sun on Sunday reported that the BBC is considering hiring the actor-turned-presenter.

Top Gear has remained tight lipped and is refusing to comment on the speculation.

As well as playing cop Glenister also hosts For the Love of Cars on the UKs Channel 4.

The car enthusiast wastes no chance to get behind the wheel and indulge his passion on the show.

Jeremy Clarkson was sacked from Top Gear after an altercation with a producer.

Meet the favorite to replace Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gear

The actor, best known for his part as politically incorrect detective Gene Hunt on the drama series Life On Mars, is being tipped to take over from Clarkson as presenter on the popular motoring show.

He has ousted Great British Bake Off host Perkins as bookies' favourite following reports in The Sun on Sunday that the BBC is considering him for the job.

Car enthusiast Glenister, who is about to present the second series of For The Love Of Cars on Channel Four, saw his odds of joining Top Gear slashed from 10-1 to 2-1.

David Williams of Ladbrokes said: "All of a sudden Glenister is the hottest name around.

"We hadn't seen a penny for him before the weekend but in next to no time he's the new favourite. Punters seem convinced that something is afoot."

Simon Clare, spokesman for Coral, said: "We have seen a host of celebrities gambled on in recent weeks to take over from Clarkson and it is rapidly becoming one of the biggest novelty betting events ever."

Behind Glenister, Perkins is the next favourite at 4-1 followed by Dermot O'Leary who has recently quit The X Factor at 5-1.

Other contenders include Jodie Kidd, Steve Coogan, John Bishop, Johnny Vaughan and Stephen Fry.

Clarkson was the subject of an internal BBC investigation after he attacked Top Gear producer Oisin Tymon, splitting his lip and verbally abusing him in a 30-second assault on March 4.

He was suspended by the broadcaster on March 10 before it announced his contract would not be renewed.
