On Friday night, Bill Maher delivered a great New Rule blasting conservatives who call themselves Christians, and yet show themselves to be little more than selfish assholes, notably when it comes to tipping the wait staff.

And finally, New Rule: It's OK if you don't want to feed the hungry, or heal the sick, or house the homeless. Just don't say you're doing it for their own good. Don't say you'd like to help people, but your hands are tied because if you did, it would cause a culture of dependency, or go against the Bible, or worst of all, rob them of their freedom... to be sick and hungry.
Just admit you're selfish, and based on how little your beliefs mirror the actual teachings of Jesus, you might as well claim to worship Despicable Me .

Now I bring this up, because last week new food stamp cuts went into effect, and Congressman Steve Fincher, a Republican from Dogpatch, justified the cuts by quoting the Bible — "The one who does not work shall not eat." And it reminded me that I keep seeing stories in the news about Christians stiffing servers in restaurants. Like the Applebee's waitress in Missouri who got this note from a church pastor.

1. Yes, saw it...Also on the show was Debbie Wasserman Schultz

who really, bless her heart, just sounded like a campaign automaton. No one seemed to even
be listening to her. contrast her to Jennifer Granholm who is on MJ this morning who can hold
her own and think on her feet. Night and day.

2. she's too flat inflected for me.

i don't tend to trust the authenticity of someone who doesn't emphasize anything in a sentence.

3. I'm reminded...of the awkward way...

Paul RYAN...speaks, with pauses...in odd places that make it seem...as if...pages of script are turning...in his HEAD.

4. Agree, except I trust her 100%. She reminds me of the "good girl" in school who did

all her homework, read every chapter she was told to, but could never think outside the box. I have seen it a million times in the business world. Men selecting middle management women - not for their critical thinking ability - but for the assurance that they will do exactly what they are told and stay on script.

Doncha just love it? Bless their little hearts.
