this is hbo. always puts out a classy, top-flight job with their presentation. you got two thick volumes of the most innovative, prestigious programing on television an three episodes of "cat house" from 1998 they're still running on saturday at 2:00 a.m. i wonder how those prostitutes will cope with the y2k bug. and, and if you didn't have time to check out any of warner brothers shows, they've sent along this convenient package. all you have to do is pull the unit from its rombus-shaped cardboard box, slip off the black cardboard coupl cummerbund , unfurl these giant posters, and at the bottom you have a d.v.d. screener of of "te big bang theory." all right. so simple. all right. the point is, you send out a screener that represents your show to highlight the best thing you've done this whole year. which unfortunately brings me to the latest installment of who is riding my coattails now.

the new season of "true blood" is here, exclusively on hbo. if you aren't among the 13 million people who watch "true blood" every week, it is the tale of bon tom, a cajun town that's chock full of vampires and sookie, the telepathic human-fairy waitress and bill, her 174-year-old on-again, off-again vampire boyfriend. true blood has it all -- romance, suspense, mystery, humor, and best of all, lots of naked nudity. lots of naked nudity. ♪ >> boo! i am a bampire! >> jimmy: you are a what? what are you? >> yes, i am a bampire. >> jimmy: oh, a bampire. >> and i'm here to drink your blood. >> jimmy: get back, bampire. these are garlic fries. >> oh, garlic fries? >> jimmy: yes. you want some? >> yeah. >> jimmy: then take out your teeth fist, sit down and let's watch "true blood" together, all right? i'll wait right here while you take them out.

that as you were saying before the break, that's some of those moments you're happy you're on hbo?that's a wonderful thing about hbo we can do things once in awhile that come down the pike that absolutely no one else can do. that is the verbatim text. we were not ad libbing in any way. we were doing a crdramatic reading. but that is his exchange with that blackjack dealer in las vegas. thank god he's in rehab, anderson. >> do you think he should resign? >> at this point, yes. not because i think he did anything so incredibly aufl. dick chaney used to go out and shoot birds by the hundreds that were like in a cage. to me that's a lot more psychotic than anything anthony weiner ever did. but the point is this is america. we have to live in reality. >> dick chaney wasn't shooting birds in a cage. he was hunting. >> he was not hunting, anderson. there's a difference between hunting which i'm not a big fan of either and when you go out into this controlled situation where they -- i forget what they do to the birds but they do something where they can't fly. it's the equivalent of shooti

we just had an hbo production, "hemingway." and then there are subsets of events that we have traditionally come to the commission on an adhoc basis to ask for a fee waiver or reduction. what we would do is like to ask for the reduction and waiver, the proposed fee waiver for flight week, and the america's cup, the world series, and the christmas tree lot. the small business line last year, the special events and filming at about $169,000 annualized. i would be happy to answer any questions you may have. >> i seem to be the one with all the questions. i guess being the new kid on the block. i know there are some minor adjustments in terms of reductions, and i just wanted to know if you held to the correct rates, would you really lose tenants? >> we may not lose existing tenants, but new tenants, it gives us better ability to negotiate. what you are delegating, really, it is this range, the bottom and the suggested top. we always try to get as much as we can. i know commissioner lazarus had this exact question last year, and we

hbo and showtime, it is a different story because they are not advertising supported. we were the first pay service that went in a multi platform way. we would like to see all of our services that way. we would like to have the technological obstacles overcome and the modernization obstacles overcome, and once we do that, we will enter a whole new era, as we have before. >> there was a comment that people were talking about, meaning people just eliminating their cable service. i want to know, for stock, what kind of evidence do you see of it, or is it just a few people there were power of the housing slowdown? >> we are not seeing any evidence of cord cutting right now. the television industry, i think we're seeing a healthy industry, and i think our thought is never to make it so that they want to court cut. whether they want to watch on the ipad or a television screen or mobile, let's let them view it the way they want to view it. we announced a skype video partnership this morning, which brings more functionality to the television screen, but we never went to give t

there's the popular tlc reality show, "sister wives," and the hbo dramatic equivalent, "big love."s a twisted and distorted view of the religion. polygamy was banned in the late 19th century. and is practiced today by only a handful of extremists with no official ties to the church of latter-day saints. but those negative stereotypes will be a challenge for romney and huntsman. in a recent pew poll, one out four voters said they would be less likely to vote for a candidate if he or she were mormon. during the last campaign, romney felt the need to take the issue on directly with a major speech. this time around, he is deflecting questions on religion. >> i'm not a spokesman for my church. >> reporter: as for huntsman, he told abc news, he doesn't think voters will much care about his religion. >> i think they look at any of the candidates. where are they going? what do they stand for? what are they going to do for this country? i think they're going to make a decision, regardless of what someone's religious affiliation is. >> reporter: maybe so. but the ultimate mormon moment could
