Synopsis: Maher first came to national attention as the host of the hit ABC-TV program Politically Incorrect, where he offered a combustible mixture of irreverence and acerbic humor that helped him to garner a loyal following, as well as a reputation for being a controversial bad boy. Bill Mahers popular new HBO television show, Real Time, has put Maher more front and center than ever before. Particularly one regular segment on the show, entitled New Rules, has been a hit with his ever-growing legion of fans. It is the part of the show during which Maher takes serious aim, bringing all of his intelligence, incisiveness, wit, and his signature exasperation to bear on topics ranging from cell phones (I dont need my cell phone to take pictures or access the Internet. I just need it to make a phone call. From everywhere! Not just the places it likes!) to fast food (No McDonalds in hospitals. Im not kidding!) to the conservative agenda (Stop claiming its an agenda. Its not an agenda. Its a random collection of laws that your corporate donors paid you to pass.). His bestselling book, New Rules, brings these brilliantly conceived riffs and rants to the written page. This new edition of the book, in paperback for the first time, also features some brand-new material not found in the hardcover.
