New York Times bestselling author Bill Maher
serves up a savagely funny set of rules for
preserving sanity in an insane world.
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 is a collection of 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.
“One of the establishment’s most
entertaining critics.”
—The New York Times
“Pundit Bill Maher courts controversy you
say? He calls it telling the truth.”
—Entertainment Weekly
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.
