Bill Maher: "Now That Gas Costs the Same $4 at Every Gas Station, You Can Drop the 9/10-of-a-Cent"

Yeah, I've always wondered about that. Why do all gas stations have this 9/10 of a cent garbage on their prices? My guess is it has to do with the "old days" when gas pumps had mechanical movements, but now?

Anyway, that was a pretty apolitical "New Rule" for Maher on his final show before the mid-year hiatus. To be exact, he said:

Now that gas costs the same four bucks at every gas station, you can drop the nine-tenths-of-a-cent bullsh*t.

After all, if we're praying for lower prices, who needs the extra 9/10?

In a more political vein, Maher also addressed the sign noted last week outside a South Carolina church which said

"Obama Osama, humm, are they brothers?"

First of all, it should be "hmmm" shouldn't it, instead of humming to a song? The pastor of the church said the idea of the sign was to make people "realize and to see what possibly could happen if we were to get someone in there that does not believe in Jesus Christ."

Er, you guys can't have it both ways. First you attack Obama for his past relationship with Rev. Wright, and then you say he's not a Christian. Make up your minds. Anyway, what Maher said was:

If you still think Obama is a Muslim, you just might be a redneck. A Christian church in South Carolina has a sign out front that says, “Obama, Osama, hmmm, Are they brothers?” No, in fact, they’re not even related, which is more than I can say for the married couples in your church.

Pretty funny stuff. I'll miss Maher until he comes back. I guess I'll have to watch more Colbert Report.
