Bill Hicks on meth, AKA Dennis Leary, has brought out a book called Why We Suck: A Feel-Good Guide to Staying Fat, Loud, Lazy and Stupid. Here are some snippets for your reading pleasure/despair:
Of autism, he said: "There is a huge boom in autism right now because inattentive mothers and competitive dads want an explanation for why their dumb-ass kids can't compete academically, so they throw money into the happy laps of shrinks... to get back diagnoses that help explain away the deficiencies of their junior morons. I don't give a f*** what these crackerjack whack jobs tell you - yer kid is NOT autistic. He's just stupid. Or lazy. Or both." I'm surprised he didn't have a crack at ADHD sufferers while he was at it...
He also had less controversial insights regarding Dr Phil ("He says such thick and exasperating things as, 'Everybody has their own personal Ground Zero.' Oh, really? Does that mean someday two large speeding planes will crash into the side of your insipid hairless head? Let's hope so"), Senator Hillary Clinton (If she had changed her campaign motto from 'Blah Blah Something Change' to 'Vote for Me or Your Wife Won't F*** You,' she would have had the election wrapped up at sunset on Super Tuesday. As Tip O'Neill once said - all politics is local. And for men, it doesn't get much more local than your crotch") and Sir Paul and Heather Mills ("She must have given great h***... Plus, he's a big pothead so he probably figured the fake leg would come in handy for smuggling marijuana")
