i’m inclined to wait for further proof before declaring it official, but it appears that bill maher has a blog. if it’s not him, someone is doing a fairly good impression of his “voice”:

“Jurors in a Los Angeles police brutality trial were unable to reach a decision. A hung jury and yet no riot. Did you see the tape? The cop punched the guy and threw his head against the hood of the car. Black people shame on you! Ten years ago you’d be setting fire to a Korean grocery store right now. You’ve gotten soft. You’ve lost the fire in the belly. No more edge. It’s like watching The Who without John Entwistle. You no longer have it. Hang it up. Go ahead and be like the Chinese and Mexicans and go gently into the night. You broke my heart!”

evidence that it is an actual celebrity blog and not a well-designed parody can be found in its glaring lack of permalinks and – less decisively – the lack of visitor comments. [ via dangerousmeta ]
