Bill Maher first came to national attention as the host of the hit program Politically Incorrect, in which he offered a combustible mixture of irreverence and acerbic humor that garnered him a loyal following. In his popular and long-running HBO television show, Real Time with Bill Maher, his reputation for being a hilarious provocateur continues. One particular segment of the show— 'New Rules'— strikes a chord with viewers every week. Within these rules, Maher takes comic and serious aim, bringing all his incisiveness, wit, and signature exasperation to bear on topics ranging from cell phones ('I don't need my cell phone to take pictures or access the Internet. I just need to make a phone call!') to the conservative agenda ('Stop claiming it's an agenda. It's not an agenda! It's a random collection of laws that your corporate donors paid you to pass!'). In this collection, Maher brings these brilliantly conceived riffs to audio, along with some singularly Maher-ian 'editorials'— editorials nothing like the standard fare found on the pages of the local newspaper!
