Maher, Bill New Rules: Polite Musings from a Timid Observer
Rodale Press 2005 1594862958 / 9781594862953 Hard Cover Fine Fine
Like-new condition. Appears unread. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $24.95. 236 pages. Tight spine, bright pages. Illustrated throughout. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. Synopsis 2007 Grammy® Nominee - Best Spoken Word Album FROM HIS HUGELY POPULAR HBO SHOW, REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER, COME MORE NEW RULES. NO ONE IS SAFE FROM MAHER'S SCATHING HUMOR IN THIS HILARIOUS COLLECTION. NEW RULE: Former drug addicts and alcoholics have to stop saying "I almost died." No. Cancer survivors almost died. Mary Jo Buttafucco almost died. You almost had too good a time. Publishers Weekly: Though it's often true that the audio adaptation of a humorous work is better than the print edition, particularly when read by the comedian who authored it, one gets the sense that this production isn't all that it could have been. Maher's delivery is well-timed, but the audio, with its lack of music or embellishment, has a bare-bones feel. Nevertheless, the sound quality is good, and those who appreciate Maher's wry sense of humor and, in particular, who are familiar with his HBO series, Real Time with Bill Maher, should enjoy this collection of witticisms. Maher has established some new rules for our "self-obsessed, success-by-any-means, get-mine culture," and he tackles everything from food ("Cornbread isn't bread. It's cake") to the environment ("The big oil companies must stop running ads telling us how much they're doing for the environment. We get it. You rape the Earth, but you cuddle afterward"). While the alphabetical list format doesn't make for the most flowing listening experience, Maher's expert delivery ensures that each joke is as funny as when he originally presented it on Real Time.

Maher, Bill When You Ride Alone You Ride With Bin Laden: What the Government Should Be Telling Us to Help Fight the War on Terrorism
New York, New York, U.S.A. New Millenium 2002 1893224740 / 9781893224742 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine
Near-new copy of this over-sized hardback. Stated First Printing. Price inside dustcover: $27.95. Tight spine, bright pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. Illustrated throughout with poster artwork. - A book with original new posters for America's new war from Bill Maher that takes some explaining! In a nutshell, these are posters with messages of how everyone can do things to help fight future terrorism, the kind of posters our government SHOULD be making and plastering everywhere. Since we live in an era where pandering is expected and therefore essential to politics, the American government no longer asks citizens to sacrifice, as it did in World War I, World War II and during the Cold War. In posters from those eras we see a government unafraid to call upon its people to curb travel, save tin, buy bonds or plant a garden. Maher has looked through books of these old posters (several will be reprinted at the beginning of the book), and some from 60 or 80 years ago are eerily perfect for today's struggle. "Should brave men die so you can drive?" Our government does not make that same link for its citizens today, although it is just as true. Rather the current administration spent government millions on an ad campaign we've all seen, "I helped the terrorists by doing drugs," even though drugs fund a negligible amount of terrorist activity and oil, ultimately, almost all of it. Whenever somebody tells Maher that drugs fund terrorism, he always says, "It's SUVs that fund terrorism." That, and messages like that, is what these posters say. How can we think differently and act differently to live safer in a better world. This is a practical book - chock-full of things that can actually be done. When we become smarter, more caring, less materialistic, less myopic and greedy we will win. We will all win! Maher says, "Since I'm NOT the government, some of my posters exhort us to put the kind of pressure on the government itself that would result for example, in airport security personnel with at least a high school diploma." About the Author: In 1993 comic Bill Maher created the perfect forum for his quick-witted comedic talents: "Politically Incorrect." He brought together some of the most interesting politicians, entertainers, and journalists to participate in some of the most controversial, topical comical discussions. On September 9, 2001, a remark he made on his show caused quite an uproar: "We have been the cowards, lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away, that's cowardly. Staying in the airplane when it hits the building, say what you want about it, it's not cowardly." On 6/28/02 "Politically Incorrect" went off the air leaving a big void. Maher was born in New York and raised in River Vale, NJ. He graduated from Cornell University with a degree in English. He currently resides in Los Angeles. He and his show won four cable Ace Awards and was nominated for an Emmy in 2001. He is the author of Does Anybody Have a Problem With It: Politically Incorrect's Greatest Hits. He has had five HBO specials, and has made many appearances on Letterman and Leno.
