How the world has gotten strange and how it turns is a subject I need to write about and talk about on the radio show at some point in time before the apocalypse happens. Until that moment, I will just have to settle for marveling and also mumbling to myself how sometimes things that are supposed to line up don't always line up the way that we believe they will.
You might recall that a little over a month ago, near the beginning of March, I came across the story about Kid Rock being on Bill Maher's podcast and doing an impromptu invite for Maher to have dinner at the White House with the current president, Donald Trump. Anyone who has followed the political ebbs and flows over the past eight years knows that Maher, who also has a show on HBO, is not a fan of Trump.
I knew that if anyone could do it and pull this off, it was a Michiganian who has undoubtedly been poisoned by the water filled with lead here in the Great Lake State.

Kid Rock says he plans to bring Bill Maher as a dinner guest to the White House to chat with President Donald Trump soon, claiming the meetup could “unite” the country.
“I’m actually going to try and unite this country, and I’m starting at the end of the month. I’m taking Bill Maher to the White House for dinner. This guy who has done nothing but talk smack about the president since day one,” the musician said.
Well, the son of a gun did it, and it was covered right here at RedState...

Bill Maher Hits Back at Larry David’s ‘Insulting’ Op-Ed about his Trump Dinner
Comedian Bill Maher hit back at Larry David over his unhinged New York Times Op-Ed titled “My Dinner with Adolf [Hitler]” mocking Maher’s dinner with President Donald Trump.
Bill knew that he was going to get hit by people on the left who consider it a successful day if they can chew bubble gum and walk at the same time. These people are generally emotional car wrecks and think and act with their feelings, throwing aside all common sense and functioning on a day-to-day basis.
Our compadre over at the mothership at Townhall, Matt Vespa, had this piece the other day: Bill Maher Had the Perfect Response to ‘Seinfeld’ Creator’s Op-Ed Regarding His Dinner With Trump.
Larry David, the co-creator of Seinfeld, penned an op-ed mocking the event, describing a hypothetical dinner he had with Adolf Hitler. How original. Maher had the perfect response to this piece: he shrugged it off. We have free speech and expression in this country, and if David, whom Maher says is a friend, didn’t like who he dined with, which shines a light on another liberal issue—they’re today’s new busybodies—then so be it.
So Bill did the one thing that most people who have had any success in comedy are not able to do, which was shrug off the idiotic response and pretty much move along.
That Larry David had this knee-jerk response is not that surprising because with the amount of success that he has had with "Seinfeld" and his show "Curb Your Enthusiasm," you start to buy your BS and think that the first thought that you have is the best and correct response and roll with it. I'm going to bet dollars to donuts he didn't have anyone review the nonsense he wrote while sitting down with Hitler thoughts and thinking that his jab was original and the wittiest response to what Bill Maher did.
In fact, it's not.
That's just tired, regurgitated, lazy nonsense that people on the left, including Maher, have used on Trump for several years.
That Maher didn't fire bomb the bridge of friendship that he has with Larry David is respectful, and if David gets upset because Maher shrugged it off, that's good for this part of the story.
Godwins Law ... short for Godwin's law of Nazi analogies,[1] is an Internet adage asserting: "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one."[2]
With one of the best sitcom writers of our time, lazily trying to criticize somebody for just meeting and having dinner with somebody who is in no way, shape, or form comparable to Adolf Hitler, sorry.
Possibly being taken down a notch in this way, it will make this a point that stands out in the annals of internet history.
I know this may be a bit risky because it may force those who just compare anything they dislike to Hitler to possibly actually think about creative criticism, but I'm pretty sure society as a whole would benefit from that.
I hope.
