Bill Maher NYT Op-Ed: Please Stop Apologizing

Bill Maher had an op-ed in Wednesday's New York Times about the quasi-outrage over everything these days. As usual, he makes some good points:

"The answer to whenever another human being annoys you is not “make them go away forever.” We need to learn to coexist, and it’s actually pretty easy to do. For example, I find Rush Limbaugh obnoxious, but I’ve been able to coexist comfortably with him for 20 years by using this simple method: I never listen to his program. The only time I hear him is when I’m at a stoplight next to a pickup truck.

When the lady at Costco gives you a free sample of its new ham pudding and you don’t like it, you spit it into a napkin and keep shopping. You don’t declare a holy war on ham."

My only issue with the op-ed is it reads like one of his "New Rules" on 'Real Time with Bill Maher'. So if this is the same New Rule I'm going to hear on Friday night, I'm going to be really disappointed.

"Ben Stein, the guy who got rich because when he talks it sounds so boring it's actually funny."

Bill Maher gives a sneak preview of one of his new rules that will be on tonight's episode of "Real Time with Bill Maher". I'd be curious to see the next Christine O'Donnell clip but unfortunately the HBO/Cinemax free preview was last weekend and someone manages to post it on YouTube anyway (before HBO makes them take it down.)
