I love Bill Maher. Here's another transcript of a new rule i was talking about a few days ago...

New Rule: And this is the hardest New Rule I have ever had to deliver, and I know a lot of you aren't going to like this, but here it is. Let Bush win! [laughs] I'm sorry. I know it's terrible to say that. But like every other swing voter in America, I got to think about the issues that are important to me. And to me the most important issue is... having an erratic jackass in the White House! [laughter]


"Rocky 3" isn't any good if he doesn't have Mr. T to fight with. [laughter] A satirical tackling dummy like George Bush doesn't grow on trees. [laughter] Without Bush, who will America's schoolchildren have to look down on? [laughter] [applause] And folks, this isn't just me, you might ask yourselves, without George Bush around, where does the hate go? [laughter]


Folks, I see the catharsis in a live audience every time I ridicule our president when I do my stand-up on the road – as I will be Friday, November 12th, at Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti. [applause] A hate, like Bush, only comes once in a lifetime. And when it walks through the door, you grab it and hold on tight, and never let it go. [applause] Without George Bush, my job will be... hard. [laughter] [applause]


It'll be hard work! I'll have to search both internets. [laughter] [applause] Therefore, for the next three weeks, I will be formally working for the re-election of the president, who I probably have been too hard on anyway! I mean, come on, we all make mistakes! [laughter] Who amongst us hasn't bombed the wrong country, or [laughter] united the world against us. We're all human!


We try to learn from our mistakes by never acknowledging them, and then moving on. [laughter] [applause] So... [cheers] So, come on, liberals! Join me in getting behind... George Bush. Huh? Aw, come on, let's stay the course! [laughter] The world is safer without Saddam, you can't deny that one! [laughs] Flip-flopper, he's a [laughing] flip-flopper.


All right, it's lame, but... but what about values? Real estate values? [laughs] Please! [laughter] People! I have a mortgage, okay?: I have a family to feed. Not a family, but people who call me daddy, it's the same thing. [laughter] [applause] What do you want from me?! Do you want me to say it out loud? Fine! I'll say it! I need George Bush! [laughter] Please let him win this election. If for no other reason than for once in his life, he should have to clean up his own mess! [applause] Thank you very much.

Today on my way to work i saw my literary hero, Kurt Vonnegut. He was simply walking down the street, carrying his dry cleaning.
Anyone who nows me knows my obsession with Vonnegut's work, specifically Slaughterhouse Five, Breakfast of Champions and Cat's Cradle.

For some reason i had thought that when Mr. Vonnegut saw me staring at him, he would know who i was, as i feel as if he is a close personal friend who simply writes books that are meant just for me.

I desperately had wanted to talk with Mr. Vonnegut, but i could tell by the haggard look on his face that simple pleasantries were not to be had...after all, how many other people think they are unique in wanting just "five minutes" with a famous author or person they admire. What is a special moment for you could be a boring and typical moment for them.

Still i think there was some cosmic purpose to me seeing Vonnegut, specifically since i felt i had wanted to have some contact with this writer before he died. (he is currently 82 years old). Even if a dialogue b/w the two of us never occurs, i feel good knowing that for one brief moment in my life, i saw my hero with my own two eyes, and he looked at me and said hello.

Even if it was awkward as hell.

Let's go write me a story.

Why Bill Maher is the man and Bush is a bitch

Take this from Bill Maher's "Real Time" Someone who isn't afraid to say what they think b/c of the FCC watchdogs.

Each week Maher has "new rules" where he sets out new rules that would help make the world a better place...enjoy...

New Rule: Everyone has to stop pretending that George Bush is macho because, plainly, he acts like a girl.

Not a woman – a girl. Not a week goes by when John Kerry isn't attacked because he said something that hurt someone's feelings. According to Bush spokes people, Kerry lost the first debate because of his “new insult” to our allies when he said the coalition wasn't genuine. Poland had Lithuania over for a debate party that night, and now they can't look at each other without crying.

All of the attacks on Kerry involve his thoughtless words, like when he said the Iraqi prime minister wasn't legitimate – the bitch; he hurt the troops when he said Iraq was the wrong war at the wrong time – men!; he hurt the Vietnam vets when he called that war a mistake – he is so not sitting with us at lunch anymore.

Bush is all, “And another thing about John Kerry: he uses Botox, he spends too much time on his hair, and he's two-faced: flip-flopper!

And, I bet John Kerry didn't even deserve any of those medals. I woulda gone to stupid old Vietnam , but I wanted to be a stay-at-home soldier.”

Excuse me, this president isn't resolute: he's on the rag.

He stopped having press conferences, which is basically saying, “I'm not talking to you.” He acted all crampy at the debates: “Its hard work” – I kept waiting for him to say, “If you don't like how I do your shirts, then iron them yourself.”

He even ran for President like a girl. Promising to “restore dignity to the Oval office.” What man gives a rat's ass about restoring an office? A real man thinks the Oval Office lost all its integrity the day Monica Lewinsky stopped coming in there to blow the president.


And then, in the one area – I'm talking about Iraq – where he could use being a little in touch with his feminine side he acts like the typical stupid male, who gets himself lost when he's driving, won't admit it, and won't stop and ask for directions. Always insisting, “Please, I know what I'm doing.”

The only time guys like this learn their lesson is when their wives leave them. So on November second, I suggest we get a divorce.

The irony of it all

Why is it that news channels look to Comedy Central as an "equal" in the dissemination of news.

How sad is it that there is no differentiating point of view in all of the news media outlets except for the two. Are there other positions other than right and left?

Jon Stewart on friday went on crossfire...they thought he was coming on to have a mere pokingly fun conversation...but instead it blew up into an unfriendly and awkward exchange b/w tucker carlson and jon stewart. the irony that was lost on tucker carlson was that the daily show is a satire of the world at large...pointing out the absurdities in all walks of life, especially political, especially now in a time like this. Tucker Carlson instead thought it imp't to try and place the daily show on the same litmus test that a real news organization should adhere to. Stewart tried to point out that it's a news organization's responsiblities to show the facts, to make things clear, not be a pundit and make things sketchy. He also pointed out that it's not the daily show's job to be a responsible news show, since they plainly state that they are a fake news show...Don't know if that makes any sense.

This place is in a sad state of affairs. It scares me to live in a time where all the thoughts behind orwell's 1984 are coming true. There is no privacy, there is no higher ground, and there is no moral leader. Bill Maher said it best on Real time thi sweekend that he almost wants George Bush to win...not b/c he didnt think kerry was appropriate or the better candidate (although the idiots who don't understand sarcasm will think he did), but b/c Bush is the prime example of what's wrong with America; he wants bush to win (not really) just so that once in his life, he can clean up his own god damn mess.

It would make this boy smile if the rest of our country even thought of doing that.

It makes you wonder, as an adult, a 27 year old, how the hell you're suppossed to conduct your life when there is no one in public life who is even a decent role model. How are you to steer your life? how are you to raise your kids? what are you suppossed to do when the youth around you are brainwashed by the mindlessness of MTV?

Look for some form of truth out there. Or better yet, just form an original opinion, an original voice, like stewart, or maher, or vonnegut. Fuck the status quo and fuck the quo altogether. Raise your voice, free from any pundit, even free from the rock the vote gang. don't do things b/c it's hip or b/c it could make money. Just be yourself, conduct your life by your instinct, but what you find importnat. To hell with TV and to hell with the news.

except for the daily show. And south park. that cartman makes me laugh.
