Comin' Up Next - Bill Maher Quotes -
By Today's Most Important Source Of The Truth
(right here on stidh)
~~~
A lot of good has come from drugs. I think Penny Lane is
worth 10 dead kids. Dark Side Of The Moon is worth 100 dead kids.
Because a lot of kids wouldn't even be born if it weren't for that
album, so it evens out.
I do think the Patriotic thing to do is to critique my Country.
How else do you make a country better but by pointing out its flaws.
Suicide is man's way of telling God, 'You can't fire me, I quit.'
Women cannot complain about men anymore unless they start getting
better taste in them.
I'll show you Obama's Birth Certificate when you show me
Sarah Palin's High School Diploma.
We have a Bill of Rights. What we need is a Bill of Responsibilities.
Kids. They're not easy, but there has to be some Penalty for Sex.
I think Religion is a Neurological Disorder.
Do you miss the days when America was just MORALLY bankrupt?
Atheism is a Religion like Abstinence is a Sex Position.
~~~
That's all - folks.
