The New New Rules (Paperback)

From the New York Times bestselling author and host of HBO`s Real Time, Bill Maher`s latest collection of political riffs and savagely funny suggestions for preserving sanity in an insane world.

New Rule: The next Republican Convention must be held in a giant closet. Every week there`s a new gay Republican outed. I have a feeling that ?big tent? they`re always talking about is in their pants. There are so many Republicans in the closet, their symbol shouldn`t be an elephant; it should be a moth.

New Rule: If one of your news organization`s headlines is about who got kicked off Dancing with the Stars last night, you`re no longer a news organization. Sort of like, if you were on Dancing with the Stars last night, you`re no longer a star.

Media, celebrity, Democrats, Republicans, religion, children, marine life, electronics, that couple making out in the next booth?when it comes to lighting up his targets, Bill Maher is an equal-opportunity destroyer. The New New Rules offers Maher`s new and best-loved observations about the world around us, along with some modest tips for its improvement. Because wouldn`t life be a little better if the inside of the office microwave didn`t look like a Jackson Pollock painting, or if fathers stopped signing up their nine-year-olds to win free hunting trips? Scathingly funny and relentlessly unafraid of sensitive topics, Maher`s hilarious brand of realism is more welcome and necessary than ever. So sit back, read on, and enjoy. You may not agree with all his views, but one thing`s for certain: If you`re listening, you`re laughing.
