Bill Maher was excellent on Larry King last night. He seems to be back to his usual form with the new show on HBO. It was interesting that he said he felt more at home there than at ABC, since when the network bought "Politically Incorrect" from Comedy Central they didn't really know what they were getting, according to Maher.

Here's Joe's latest cartoon (would be better with the graphic, but works fine in words):

Colin Powell (testifying before the UN Security Council): "Gentlemen, we know for a fact that Saddam has weapons of mass destruction."
Kofi Annan: "How can you be so sure?"
Powell: "Because we kept the receipts".
