UPDATE:: REVISED LINKS
This was probably one of the best Real Time With Bill Maher episodes in a long, long time...

On a bitterly cold winter night in late 2004, I furiously tore through Markos' Diary of a Father or whatever the heck he called that web log about having a baby....
I was panicked a bit about our impending child-needed some advice and stumbled upon the baby blog and Markos. Besides Garofalo and Olbermann, only Kos, Digby and Duncan were really making any goddamned headway...
and...
Real Time With Bill Maher
Bill Maher has, week in and week out, season after season, really gotten the job done - speaking out against the insanity.
Do I hate it when he says "get over it" about the 2000 Election or when he occasionally buys some BS? You bet- but I realize that he's one of the few good political minds on "mainstream media" and the truth needs to be told.
Starting that November in 2004 Tullycast began putting Maher on Youtube.
HBO had eventually put Real Time, but just audio, on the next Tuesday afternoon's Itunes ....
Five years later, in the fall of 2009 they finally made the video available via Pay-Per-View.
I've gotten thank you notes from around the world, currency from China (100?), praise from Portugal and stoney g'days from Australia;
all from people who had no other way to see it.
Apparently, during the Bush Years it was some (cold) comfort to our expats all over the bloody globe to see Bill Maher talking sense...
