Maher's New Rules

I forgot to post these last weekend, but they are still apropos and worth a listen. Plus, Maher is taking a week off, so his show won't be seen tonight on HBO; normally it airs every Friday night at 11 p.m. with lots of repeats throughout the week. So, here's a clip to tide you over until his show returns next week.

I won't try to add much to the clip above - it stands on its own, but I love how he dealt with the already trite "3 a.m. phone call" adverts from both the Hillary and Obama camps.

He's also spot on about people who are willfully misinformed and/or uninformed. It's quite amazing to me how many people there are in America today who fit one or both of the above descriptions, and some of them I know personally. Newsflash, people - if you're getting your information from one source, you're not really getting news - you're just getting that source's bias and slant on the news. (This is why I have such a big issue with the sheeple who watch Fox News - their version of reality is hard to reconcile in even the most forgiving of circumstances.)

Maher deserves credit for taking a stand against the 9-11 conspiracy theorists, too; I happen to share his opinion that 9-11 was not an inside job, but is it so far out there that I'd be completely blown away if it ever were revealed that it was? Nope - that's how little credibility this administration has.

Anyway, he wraps up with what is no doubt his line of the year...

How do I know 9-11 wasn't an inside job? Because it was a success! It took lots of planning!

Amen.
