New Rule
George Bush must stop saying he owes all his success to Laura. George Bush owes all his success to his daddy, his daddy’s friends, trust funds, legacy admissions, the National Guard, the Supreme Court, Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, and AA.New Rule
Gay marriage won’t lead to dog marriage. It is not a slippery slope to rampant interspecies coupling. When women got the right to vote, it didn’t lead to hamsters voting. No court has extended the equal protection clause to salmon. And for the record, all mariages are “same sex” marriages. You get married, and every night, it’s the same sex.
Just a couple of the new rules written by comedian, Bill Maher in his new book by the same name. Bill doesn’t let the Democrats off the hook either saying they need stem cell research to grow a new spine for the party. He wittingly jabs at Paris Hilton, reality TV (you can’t call it Wife Swap if you can’t do the other guy’s wife), politicians and Disney.
The book is written like a good many coffee table books, small snippets that can be read in any order without losing context. Bill has organized the book from A to Z, with each letter getting a few rules listed under it. He also writes a one to two page essay at the end of each chapter to give a little more insight into those rules that cannot be summarized in a single sentence. In some cases the rules themselves require a photo, that photo being worth a thousand words. I read the book in two evenings and plan on passing it around to family members who I think will appreciate it. In the end it will be secure on the shelf with my other books (I don’t currently own a coffee table)
New Rules has a decidedly PG-13 age range.
