Letters From Vagabondia: New Rules From Bill Maher

Friday, September 25, 2009

Yet another classic set of New Rules from Bill Maher.

This time, its "If America Can't Get It Together, We Lose The Bald Eagle."

Gotta say, I think he's got us pegged.

Tom Degan's Daily Rant said...: Did you read Bill Maher's comment on the Huffington Post yesterday? He was decrying the dumbing down of America.

While I admire Bill Maher a great deal, I am forced to take issue here. This pitiful America of which he speaks is very real. Of that there can be little doubt to anyone who has bothered to pay attention. But like a lot of people on the Left (I am sorry to say) he totally ignores - whether by accident or design - the undeniable advantages of living in the America of the first decade of the twenty-first century.

For example:

I never finished High School. In fact I dropped out at the very beginning of my Junior year. In spite of this unfortunate fact, the I.Q. of my country has dropped to such a horrifying degree in the last thirty years, whenever I arrive at a gathering of, say, two or three-hundred people, I am reasonably confident that I am the smartest person in the room.

Do you have any idea how utterly cool that is? Lighten up, Bill.
