New Rule

Here are several quotes from Bill Maher's latest:

New Rule: If America can't get its act together, it must lose the bald eagle as our symbol and replace it with the YouTube video of the puppy that can't get up. As long as we're pathetic, we might as well act like it's cute. I don't care about the president's birth certificate, I do want to know what happened to "Yes we can."
...
Well, I hate to be a nudge, but why has America become a nation that can't make anything bad end, like wars, farm subsidies, our oil addiction, the drug war, useless weapons programs - oh, and there's still 60,000 troops in Germany - and can't make anything good start, like health care reform, immigration reform, rebuilding infrastructure.
...
Barack Obama has said, "If we were starting from scratch, then a single-payer system would probably make sense." So let's start from scratch.
...
Did you know that we eat the same high-fat, high-carb, sugar-laden shit that's served in prisons and in religious cults to keep the subjects in a zombie-like state of lethargic compliance?

You know, there are people in this country who make a whole lot of sense. Trouble is, they're mostly comedians.

    Since they are comedians, their words carry no weight. He has some good points.
