Maher’s odyssey begins and ends in Megiddo, Israel, where some Christians believe the world will come to an end. The film starts out as rocky as the desert terrain on which Maher stands, clad in a sleek black suit, ready to take on modern religious extremists. Maher then appears driving in his car, engaged in a vain monologue that is unfortunately spliced throughout the film, causing it to lag. Luckily, most things that come out of Maher’s mouth tend to be downright hilarious—you just have to get past the fact that...

The town won't need much of a push to switch allegiance from Labour to Tory and neither will the country. A general election isn't due until spring 2010, and Cameron's 20-point lead in the opinion polls could yet sag if fate gifts Labour a game-changing event or an economic miracle. But for anyone who recalls the animosity toward the Tories that ushered Labour into power in 1997 and helped keep it there for more than a decade...
