Polite... timid...? Maybe I didn't understand those words correctly.

Just finished Bill Maher's New Rules: Polite Musings from a Timid Observer. A good read. A compliation of random thoughts on everything ranging from G.W. and his posse, to Paris Hilton, to food pyramids, to Mecca... and everything in between.
Its a light book- something you can read at the beach- and people will give you funny looks because you are giggling to yourself. However I did try reading a 'new rule' aloud to companions a few times- and they didn't laugh- so maybe its not as funny as I think. Well, nonetheless- it entertained me.

Is it wrong of me to put examples on my blog?
Eh... whatever-
a few random rules to amuse the masses:

Color Scheme
New Rule
Color-coded terror alerts are not just for campaigns. I can't remember the last time we had one. It must have been... anytime John Kerry tried to speak. Okay, the terror alerts stopped the same second as the election, but that doesn't mean they were fake. That's just being paranoid. If you think Bush would do something like that, you might as well say he hires fake reporters, bribes columnists and produces his own news.

Name Dropping
New Rule
Stop leaving messages on my answering machine saying "It's me." I already have a "me" in my life-- me. And, frankly, if we were that close, I'd have given you the number of the phone that I answer.

Quite amusing- sometimes the 'new rule' is something that you know you agree with- and sometimes its one of those 'where the heck did he come up with that'--
and while I thought some 'new rule' s were a little harsh- its like a friend of mine always used to say: "I'm not prejudiced. I make fun of everyone equally".

Overall: enteraining, light, funny, but don't take it too seriously, and don't expect everyone else to find the same quips as funny as you do.
