With apologies to Bill Maher

Bill Maher has this great concept of making new rules which take on existing meaningless shenanigans. I thought I could use that concept to come up with some of my own. Il keep adding as I come up with it.

New Rule: Politicians, stop hitting out at Amitabh Bachchan to revive your non-existant popularity or clout or whatever it is you are missing out on in your otherwise fulfilling life.
Trust me if people ignored you before, it actually did your social barometer a lot of good. Now, you are seen as as plain ignorant and stupid. If you think what Amitabh does or doesn't do will really save this country, then you are the ones who needs to be put on the hot seat.

New Rule: Just beacuse you have chewed and digested every word of a word list doesnt mean you have to use only those words in your entire sentence. Writing is about expressing something you feel in the best possible words that would convey the message. Using hard to understand words, totally out of context in sentences just proves you are not sure what you want to say and are hiding your inability to write behind those words.

New Rule : Anderson Cooper from CNN needs to stop going gaga over the touch screen he has been using to show election results. Maybe your mom didn't let you paint when you were a kid, maybe you are an artist at heart and only a broadcaster by profession. But stop painting on the damn touch screen. Im sure there is software out there to do it for you, or maybe you can have a lovely assistant do it for you, because you doing it sure doesn't make a great picture.
