Our WeNDOH Media teammate is a 1998 graduate of Lex Luthor University, where he majored in Mad Science with a minor in evil Business Administration. He has since been a nonstop disappointment to his mother by failing to put that education to work, and instead taken up residence as editor of DailyFiasco.com. Although he still maintains a hobbyist’s interest in devising a chemical formula that when slipped into their respective water supplies will bring both Metropolis and Gotham City to their knees, he spends most of his time curating Fiasco, which he describes as “Las Vegas’ drinkingest, fightingest and handsomest nightlife, entertainment and gossip blog.”

Seven Questions for Bill Maher
The left-leaning comedian on the charm of ‘old Vegas,’ his $1 million investment in President Obama and why Donald Trump is good for his business
March 19th, 2013
Political provocateur Bill Maher has been peddling his brand of smarmy punditry for well on 20 years now, starting with Politically Incorrect on Comedy Central and later ABC, before moving to premium cable, where he started Real Time With Bill Maher in 2003. Along the way, he’s done nine stand-up specials for HBO; played himself in politically focused fare such as The Campaign and House of Cards; and crafted the 2008 documentary Religulous (hitting on one of his favorite topics: skewering religion). And last year he even found the time to buy a minority stake in the New York Mets.
