New Rules: Polite Musings from a Timid Observer by Bill Maher

[lightreads]

Snatches of late night show commentary pretending to be a book. That is, liberal-leaning punchlines about sports, politics, and society ranging from the funny to the facile with a pointless, self-congratulatory introduction and a shelf life of about twelve seconds. Flip through it sometime in a bookstore, but don’t buy it – that just encourages them to think writing a book is just like having a TV show.

I do have to give a salute to anyone who makes that much fun of K-Fed, though. “And while we’re at it, stop bugging her [Britney] about smoking; it’s a little late to start worrying when half the DNA is Kevin Federline’s.” Heh. Heh heh.

I used to like Bill Maher -- until I tuned into his show, and he and all his guests were speaking out against shoeing horses.

Needless to say, I've thought him an idjit ever since.

Eek, he didn't. Yikes.

Omigod, it was the stupidest thing ever! He and his guests were all about how it was "cruel" -- and all I could think was "you people are idiots, who have never read a Marguerite Henry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marguerite_Henry) book, let alone actually touched an actual horse".

OMG how much does that take me back? Haven't thought about those in years.
