Bill Maher is on the forefront of the new wave of comedians who influence and condition political debate through their comedy. He is best known not just for being funny, but also for advocating truth over sensitivity and dealing with the political establishment.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 Maher's popular new HBO television show, Real Time, has put Maher more front and center than previously. Particularly one regular segment on the show, entitled "New Rules," has been a hit along with his ever-growing legion of fans. It's the area of the show during which Maher takes serious aim, bringing most of his intelligence, incisiveness, wit, and his signature exasperation to bear on subject areas ranging from mobile phones ("I don't need my mobile phone to consider pictures or access the web. I just need it to make a telephone call. From everywhere! Not just the places it likes!") to junk food ("No McDonald's in hospitals. I'm not kidding!) to the conservative agenda ("Stop claiming it's an agenda. It's not an agenda. From the random assortment of laws that your corporate donors paid you to definitely 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 very first time, also features some brand-new material not found in the hardcover.
