Welcome to Litsy!

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."
