In Bill Maher’s final New Rule of the night, he suggested that if tea partiers get to control the Republican party and act like hostage negotiators, the Democrats should have their own branch party that would be just as ridiculously partisan as the tea party, because the only thing they haven’t tried yet is fighting crazy with crazy.
Reflecting on the past week of debt talks, Maher compared the tea party to that loon you always see in the subway who’s rambling on about something or other. He then compared the tea party’s influence over the Republican party to a really cheesy action movie where a bank robber is pointing a gun at some woman’s head in order to get her cooperation. In these scenarios, as Maher stated, you have the typical police negotiator (played by some random character actor) who can’t get anywhere with the psycho holding a gun, so they have to bring in the renegade, a “Mel Gibson” character, who can talk the robber down because they’re both operating on the same insane level. Maher concluded that if the Democrats are going to be effective negotiators against tea party Republicans, they’re going to need “their own Mel Gibson.”
“The only way they’re going to pull the debate back from the far right is for liberals to elect their own slate of 60 unstable, looney-toon, mad-as-a-hatter, crazy motherfuckers.”
He called for liberals to search for “angry left-wing lunatics” to make them part of a new party, a party residing within the Democratic party, as the tea party does within the Republican party. Maher’s name for this party-within-a-party? The Donner Party. Their platform? “We will literally eat each other before we give an inch.” (Oh, great. Now I’ve got a hankering for Harry Reid stew.) And Maher brought back a familiar face to regular show viewers: face-ripper monkey, who would be the leader of this new Donner party.
But shifting to the serious momentarily, Maher took on the idea that liberals already have groups like that anyway in the ACLU, Greenpeace, or MoveOn.org, arguing “those are educated people,” and a liberal Donner party can only exist with “loudmouths” who can act just as stubborn and partisan as the tea party.

‘John francis dooley
Wipe the sleep from your eyes
And embrace the light.
You have slept now
For a thousand years
Beneath starless nights.
And now its time for you
To renounce the old ways
And see a new dawn rise.
In former days
The masks were raised
When the god came down
From off the mountain,
And a sacrifice was made
For they knew the day of wrath
Was fast apporaching.
Just like yesterday, before the war
John francis dooley
The scapegoat has run
All our sins are disowned,
And now it’s time for you
To take off thy mask
And cross the rubicon.
If you and i were one
Within the eyes of our designs
It would still not change
The fact of our leaving.
For tonight we must leave
With the first gentle breeze
For the isles of ken we are assailing
Just like ullyses, on an open sea.
On an oddysey of self discovery’ -

‘As far as we can see with our ever improving telescopes, there are at least a hundred billion galaxies arrayed throughout the universe. Each, like the Mliky Way, is an “island universe” containing billions of stars. Nearly all galaxies are members of groups or clusters, which are part of even larger structures called superclusters. All of these large concentrations are connected by filaments or sheets of galaxies, which enclose huge, bubble-like volumes of empty space, the cosmic voids.
The great unifier of the cosmos is gravity. It holds the stars of a galaxy, and the galaxies of a cluster, together. But clusters, groups, and isolated individual galaxies are all flying away from each other, a continuing aftermath of the big bang, an explosion of space itself that astronomers believe formed the universe 11 to 15 billion years ago.’

‘In Japan, anti-nuclear campaigners are using the 66th anniversary of the atomic bomb in Hiroshima to push the government to abandon nuclear power.
As many as 275,000 people are thought to have died after the US attacked the city with a nuclear bomb near the end of the Second World War.
The anniversary comes as Japan struggles to contain nuclear fallout from the Fukushima reactors, crippled during the March earthquake and tsunami.’
