The last five minutes of Bill Maher's HBO show may be the funniest and smartest on TV today. See how he slices and dices creationists now clamoring for medical assistance to protect themselves against swine flu -- a virus that is "evolution in real time" -- below the fold.
My favorite line?
You can't crap all over Darwin, and stem cell research and global warming, and then come crawling back to science when you want Tamiflu -- that's for us sinners.
Second favorite line?
Viruses adapt to survive, just like all other organisms on Planet Earth, with the possible exception of the Republican National Committee.
Oh, and the rest of his show isn't bad either, especially when he has great guests like this one including the one and only Barney Frank.
In another segment, an NBC reporter embedded in Iraq for the duration joins Maher's panel who says everyone in Iraq thinks Obama is Muslim -- he's got a Muslim name and his father was Muslim. And the reporter notes, that's a very good thing for our status in the region.
Maher rocks!
