Bill Maher Slams Paul Ryan, Rand Paul For ‘Ruining’ Libertarianism: ‘I Didn’t Go Nuts, This Movement Did’ (VIDEO)

The Huffington Post

On this week’s episode of “Real Time,” Bill Maher used his final “New Rule” of the night to take on Libertarianism and the conservatives whose obsessions with Ayn Rand have “ruined” the political philosophy for him.

Once a supporter of Libertarianism and its views on government intervention, Maher explained why he thinks politicians such as Paul Ryan and Rand Paul are “intellectually stuck in their teen years” and have turned a once promising movement into a free market-obsessed, “nanny state”-fearing delusion.

Maher went on to defend his new views on Libertarianism by mocking the party’s tendency to reject government services even when they are arguably very useful:

“To everyone who keeps trying to shame me about abandoning my Libertarian moorings, my message is this: I didn’t go nuts, this movement did. Like when you see a stop light, your reaction should be ‘Great, an easy way to ensure we don’t all crash into each other,’ not, ‘How dare the government tell me when I can and cannot go!”

“So, What’s Your IQ?” (Humor)

 

They say that laughter is the best medicine.  The following joke will surely get a chuckle out of you.  Enjoy.

Palingates

A man walked into a very high-tech bar. As he sat down on a stool he noticed that the bartender was a robot. The robot clicked to attention and asked, “Sir, what will you have?”

The man thought a moment then replied “A martini please.”

The robot clicked a couple of times and mixed the best martini the man had ever had.

The robot then asked, “Sir, what is your IQ?” The man answered “Oh, about 174.”

The robot then proceeded to discuss the theory of relativity, inter-stellar space travel, the latest medical breakthroughs, etc…

The man was most impressed. He left the bar but thought he would try a different tack. He returned and took a seat. Again the robot clicked and asked what would he have? “A martini please.”

Again it was superb. The robot again asked “What is your IQ sir?”

This time the man answered, “Oh, about 120″. So the robot started discussing NASCAR racing, the latest basketball scores, and what to expect the Dodgers to do this week end.

The guy had to try it one more time. So he left, returned and took a stool…. Again a martini, and the question, “What is your IQ?” This time the man drawled out ” Uh…… bout 50″.

The robot clicked then leaned close and very slowly asked,

“A-r-e…
y-o-u-r…
p-e-o-p-l-e…
r-e-a-l-l-y
g-o-i-n-g…
t-o…
n-o-m-i-n-a-t-e…
R-i-c-k….P-e-r-r-y?”

Thank you, ianai.

Bill Maher makes fun of ‘job creators’

 

The Raw Story

After discussing Tony Bennett’s 9/11 comments, Bill Maher proceeded to poke some fun at those labeled as ‘job creators’ in the latest installment of Real Time.

The comedian first urged Americans once again to stop voting against their economic interests, or what he labels as the “Joe the Plumber syndrome.”

“The broke unemployed guy who hates it when you try and tax the rich, and whose candidate of choice is Donald Trump,” he said. “You just want to shake poor Joe and say ‘Trump is not one of you.’ The only thing you have in common is his hair looks like the stuff that clogs up the sink.”

Maher went on to say how he votes against his own financial interest, adding “I’m a millionaire, f–k yeah” before putting on a “Mitt’s The S–t” hat in announcing his appointment as regional fundraiser for Mitt Romney’s campaign.

And what about those job creators? Considering himself as one of them, Maher made sure to joke about his fellow elites complaining that President Obama would cause ‘uncertainty’ if taxes were raised on them.

“You don’t get how much ‘Uncertainty’ gives us job creators ‘the willies,’” he said. “It’s terrifying, like when you find out your private island has natives. Or when your wife notices the maid’s kid looks just like you. Or when the limo drivers tries to start a conversation.”

“So tax me at a higher rate, because you’re practically firing yourselves.”
