‘Let them eat Chef Boyardee’
I unfortunately sat through an edited version of Bill Maher’s smarmy, self centered drivel yesterday evening. How Middle America no longer consists of ‘fly-over’ States, but now are ‘pass-over’ States instead, yearning for all the good things the coasts have. He must have had a different audience in mind, because none of the things he ticked off were particularly attractive to me. Which includes HBO. Our very own Poetrooper has some thoughts on the matter, and is inclined to share. Without further ado:
Poetrooper
Bill Maher makes his living by being an insulting, offensive jerk. I wouldn’t watch him with a gun to my head, but I do read the articles in conservative media where his name turns up because it usually involves more outrageous braying by this jackass. Yesterday was no exception. Over at the Daily Caller, the White House correspondent, Amber Athey, reports that Bill has gone full Marie Antoinette on us folks out here in flyover country:
During a segment about Amazon’s new headquarters on “Real Time With Bill Maher,” the HBO host said he knows red state voters want a more cosmopolitan lifestyle because their local governments submitted proposals to bring Amazon to their cities.
“There are no red carpets in Wyoming and no one ever asks you, ‘who are you wearing?’ because the answer is always Target,” Maher said as the audience laughed. “We have orchestras, theater districts, world class shopping, we have Chef Wolfgang Puck, they have Chef Boyardee.”
The host continued, “Our roofs have solar panels, theirs have last year’s Christmas lights… the flyover states have become passed-over states, that’s why red state voters are so pissed off.”
“They don’t hate us. They want to be us. They want to go to the party. It’s like we’re the British royal family and they’re Meghan Markle’s dad,” Maher asserted. Maher concluded the brutal mocking by suggesting Amazon relocate to a red state in order to bring those voters more prosperity.
It’s ever so helpful when your enemy pins a bulls-eye to his own chest and, by extension, to the backs of liberal snobs who so disdain the rest of the population, those folks who raise and refine their food and fine wines, drill and produce their energy, manufacture their limousines and air-conditioners, truck, train, and fly all those things to them, build their homes and erect the exclusionary walls and gates around them, toil in the hot kitchens of all those exclusive restaurants they so enjoy, and on and on and on, endlessly, providing all the beneficial things these ingrates never stop to consider that make their lives so easy, much better than most Americans live.
We are indebted to Bill Maher for clearly stating what he and his liberal Hollywood and New York entertainment and media chums truly think about us out here in flyover land. Maher’s words make it clear that their contempt for us is as thick and dense as a wheel of overripe cheese and much more malodorous. If Maher had taken up brush, oils, and canvas hoping to paint modern American coastal liberals as eighteenth-century French aristocrats, he couldn’t possibly have obtained a keener likeness than he captured with the words above. It is abundantly clear what they think of us — reflect for a moment on Hillary’s in-house FBI agent, Peter Strzok, describing Virginia Walmart shoppers as smelly — to them, we are beneath these liberal elitists in every way and therefore not entitled to be enfranchised, to have our votes count. That is why they are so enraged about the 2016 presidential election. It was only the Electoral College that made our votes count, and they are frothing mad about that. When you vote in 2020, keep that thought tucked firmly in your unworthy peasant brain.
We’ll celebrate victory with Chef Boyardee, the deplorables’ dish of defiance.

Thanks, Poe. Keep ’em coming!

I know Poe … and he is good … but Bill who?
Maher…I’ve heard of him. He’s an angry midget, not really worth your attention.
He’s the guy that told women coming forward about Bill Clinton’s sexual activity to “just take one for the team!”
https://twitter.com/HateNevrWorks/status/1047948357052772352
Funny thing, you can’t find this clip on youtube. It’s only being sent around on twitter feeds, facebook, etc.
you have to remember what happened to the lady and her husband who told them french peasants ” Let them eat cake”…
I wonder the liberal left understands that if the Marxist ever do take control that they will be the first one to be tied to the wall. The one quote of Stalin that has always stuck with me is “You have a man,you have a problem. no man, no problem”
I really can’t wait until one of these talking heads gets interviewed and calls the left what they are, National socialists, my question is who will end up in the bunker with a dead german shepherd, dead day old spouse and a walthers P38 to their temple
Whoever it is will be vegan.
So history will repeat itself?
Hitler was vegetarian. Better learn the difference TOW or you will be assigned to re-education training to make you more inclusive and tolerant.
Whoever it is will be a genderless vegan with a partner that is also a genderless vegan.
I thought I had commented already. Thought I was losing my mind, turns out it just wasn’t caffeinated properly.
These are globalists that believable they’ll be able to escape to another country with their wealth when it eventually gets that bad. It’s why results don’t matter to them as long as they are entertained. That maybe true but it may not and they may find themselves answering for the problems they enthusiastically caused.
Probably many of same ones who swore they would leave the country when President Trump was elected.
His hypothesis is way too easy to refute. Compare the Quartz map of the 200+ cities that submitted Amazon proposals to the NYTimes map of The Two Americas of 2016. Every one of those proposals land right on the islands of liberalism that dot the interior of CONUS. Ignorant blowhard. That’s all.
Pitch forks and torches time yet?
Aw rats … can a moderator fix the link so the image is displayed?
As a matter of fact, yes I can.
*grin*
It didn’t take Bill Maher to say that to make anyone paying attention understand that’s how the liberal elite on both coasts think. Those folks in the flyover states are the deplorables, those whose states only matter thanks to the Electoral College.
The liberal “we know what’s best for everyone but ourselves” crowd has long expressed its disdain for common folk. Here in New England we see it in the liberal bastions where well meaning liberals want to make things easier for the homeless unless it involves housing them in their neighborhoods, then not so much. The same with the lower income housing crowd, they all talk a good game until it’s time to locate that housing then the lawyers come out on behalf of the elites to make sure it doesn’t appear in those gated communities or new developments but is instead located in refurbished inner city dumps to segregate by income the drabble from the royalty.
The funniest thing about Bill Maher is for a guy with such a big mouth he’s actually a giant pussy afraid of his own shadow. Stories abound of people coming up to him and him running off behind body guards to avoid brushing up against the very people he supposedly cares about so very much.
Fuck Bill Maher, he was never funny, he’s not funny now and if he didn’t have friends at HBO we’d never hear from him again. Which probably tells you all you need to know about HBO’s business model as well.
Sounds like Maher is projecting again.
Hey, Bill! Got a question for you, but it might make your head hurt contemplating the answer. If “we” are so envious of “you,” why are so many of “you” moving to where “we” are? It sure looks like more of “you” want what “we” have than the reverse. Ya know, stuff like a tranquil life, without need for shrinks, soy lattes, and pilates.
The problem OWB is once the bastards get where “we” are they want to bring all the nonsense they were leaving behind with them.
People move out of the city, then are shocked to discover that things close in small town America. That you can’t get a 24 hour Starbucks in a town of 6,000 in fact you can’t get your trash picked up you have to haul it to the dump or transfer station yourself….
Then the dipshits ruin the small town they’ve moved into, jacking up housing prices to where local kids can’t afford to stay in the town they grew up in, that’s the real shame of it all.
“town of 6,000”
We call that a big city.
“local kids can’t afford to stay in the town they grew up in, that’s the real shame of it all”
Bingo! The kids sell the family farm as soon as they “find a place for mom” and take the cash to the big city. The farm fields that people broke their backs to clear become low income housing projects.
I have watched it unfold for decades.
Not always low income housing, 26L. Sometimes a developer buys one and turns it into a gated community or upscale subdivision instead.
Or a golf course for upscale city wienies to come visit the ‘burbs…one of the local kids sold his dad’s farm and they made a lot of money for the land as they developer decided to make it an exclusive golf/country club….it’s an hour drive from upstate New York to this club and about 90 minutes from Boston and environs…I see a lot of out of towners and out of staters at this club….
“gated community or upscale subdivision”
That would be southern Maine for sure. Lotsa money down there.
The only gated communities in Aroostook are for livestock.
Three story McMansions on 1/4 acre lots.
Thanks, no.
You just described Colorado to a “T”. In fact there’s a bill working it’s way through the state, and our new side saddle governor says he’ll sign it, to join the unconstitutional compact, and give away our votes to the winner of the national popular vote.
God help us all!
You just described Teton County Wyoming, and Teton County, Idaho. Which is why I’m retired in Arizona.
“There are no red carpets in Wyoming and no one ever asks you, ‘who are you wearing?’ because the answer is always Target,”
We like it that way. And it’s not just Target. There’s Cabela’s, Sportsman’s Warehouse…
After watching a few episodes of that little sucker of cocks show, I cancelled my HBO subscription. I haven’t missed it one whit. Oh, I read one report of Maher’s diatribe where he commented that one of the great accomplishments of Libatard/Progtardville is they have “anal bleaching” and we don’t. I am sure that is certainly a plus if you are a little effete gayboy.
F*ck him. Frankly I like. Chef Boyardee….have a 2 inch scar on my right thumb from opening a can of beefaroni with a Buck knife on a hunting trip when I was 12.
I moved as far away from these people as I could. Record breaking snow this winter, the wind is howling and it is below zero.
Bill Mahr would soil his panties.
I’m having a can of Dinty Moore beef stew for lunch. Maybe a second one for supper.
Might even go outside and wave to the contrails passing overhead.
“A sandwich is a sandwich, but a Manwich is a meal.”
And Ray’s is the best greasy chili ever made.
Dinty Moore?!
Lucky!
Love the stuff. Buy it by the case.
Survival food. Wish they had that in Viet of the Nam. War would have been over a lot sooner.
“War would have been over a lot sooner”
Air drop a few thousand pallets into Venezuela. Screw the border. Feed the people.
Better solution is to drop pallets of rifles and ammo in there and let them kill the assholes causing them the misery. Then they can shoot themselves for being so stupid as to basically make all that misery possible.
I know plenty of places in Wyoming that are pretty well off.
Except for maybe Jackson Hole. There, the Califunny libruls have jacked real estate prices to the point locals can’t live anywhere near there anymore.
Sparky, please see my comment above. I grew up in that area. Californiacocksuckers ruined it.
This quote tells me all I need to know about Bill Mather:
“We have been the cowards, lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away. That’s cowardly. Staying in the airplane when it hits the building? Say what you want about it, it’s not cowardly.”
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=121312&page=1
Screw that worthless bastard.
Has he ever lifted a finger to serve the country? I guess he would rather our service men and women die needlessly than use technology that makes the job safer and easier. I bet he would cry for the First Marine Division or Delta Force to come the minute he gets himself into trouble and save his worthless ass. He’s right up there with this guy, named Paul Darrall who I am confident has no military service making comments about the Purple Heart.https://m.facebook.com/iloveww2planes/posts/2309009469376739?comment_id=2309235919354094
I forgot to mention he’s also not American. I believe he’s a New Zealander. So as a foreigner, I don’t know what makes him think that his opinion holds any water, other than the fact he’s a smug pompous ass who thinks his crap doesn’t stink. I’m not sure if he has military service. But to me, him and Bill Maher would make a cute couple.
Bill Maher was born in New York City in 1956….
It doesn’t make him less of a shitbag parasite, but he’s our shitbag parasite regardless…
Unfortunately, yes. At least Paul isn’t one of ours, though Bill is easily worse. I would also say he’s proof that aging doesn’t necessarily bring increased wisdom. I believe he swears like a sailor too. I honestly don’t find that too funny (though for me it depends on the circumstances). I prefer comedians that can avoid swearing.
… and then, there is the other side of Soylent Green, that sends food supplies (soybeans, lentil peas) to the cities, which are walled up with 40 million people in NYC, huddled cheek-by-jowl, and if you don’t report for work, you ‘disappear’.
Maher’s smug mug stuff is as impressive as a flat beach ball. Chef Boy-ar-Dee? https://chicago.eater.com/maps/best-restaurant-views-chicago
We in “flyover land” are much closer to the farm than he is to – oh, wait. He never does his own shopping. My bad. I’m sure he has never visited the La Brea Bakery out there in LaLaLand, but they export their products to grocery stores in “flyover country”.
It would be nice if he weren’t so abysmally stupid.
Well, if Amazon II does end up in the Midwest, that means 25,000 new tech jobs and a huge boost in the cash cow’s production.
I’d say 25,000 more unemployed locals as these company’s pass over hiring highly qualified locals and bring their highly accomplished boot licking butt kissing people here from Cal, Tx and back east and family’s will displace locals by higher priced housing and taking over local businesses and jobs. Keep them out of here as they ruin our life as we know it here.
I doubt that. There are too many universities with undergrad/graduate engineering/tech departments in Illinois alone for Amazon to justify not hiring from them. One of the local 2-year colleges is on the receiving end of a $100,000 grant from Metallica’s “All Within Our Hands” foundation for engineering/tech schools.
They already have a depot in southeastern Wisconsin, employing locals. And the suburbs can offer more campus room than NYC and at better prices, too.
I’m perfectly fine talking to no one but the voices in my head. I’d tell you to choke on a dick Bill, but I know you lack the gag reflex to do so.
I grew up in a big city (Jax Fl). Hated it: congestion, too many friggen people, and no one KNEW each other. I live in a small city now. Much nicer. Still have THINGS. If I want anything, I can drive to a larger burg about an hour away, but why bother? Leave me alone with my books and i’m usually much happier anyway.
Bill Maher = a vain, myopic, oxygen thief.
Bill Maher is what happens when a genital wart becomes sentient.
Ain’t that the truth. I might borrow that in the future if you don’t mind.
He’s sentient?
There are freight train engines that are more intelligent than he is.
I agree, especially with some Dash 3 mods!
*Chuff Chuff*
*SQUEEEEE*
Sorry about that, the turbo just kicked in!
Just another capitalist making his money in a niche market pissing all over the very things that allow him to thrive.
As far as Maher’s crowd is concerned, Flyover Country starts at the Los Angeles County line, and continues to the New York City limit. As for jealousy, well, let’s see.
I have: bills to pay, a smokin’-hot wife who seems happy to keep me around, three wonderful kids, a decent and stable job, clean air to breathe, no traffic to deal with, nice neighbors, and a life I generally enjoy.
They have: lots of money, broken families, rape, drug abuse, pedophilia, alcoholism, paparazzi, fleeting wealth, freeloading “friends” who spend all your money, an astronomical divorce rate, and live in a place I’d be happy to see slide into the ocean.
Yeah, sure, Maher, I’m definitely jealous of you. I don’t care about your designer fashions; I wear jeans and either Ariat or Danner boots. I don’t give a shit about your Maserati; I drive a Ford truck for a reason. I want nothing to do with your gold-digging bought-and-paid-for trophy skanks; my wife is hotter anyway and sure as hell ain’t with me for money. I’ve been to LA (and I fucking HATE it and will gladly drive 100 miles out of my way to avoid it and it’s traffic), it’s a smog-choked overcrowded shithole where everyone drives like an asshole; your multimillion-dollar mansion in that shithole is lipstick on a pig. Why should I shell out $90 for three bites of beef with a baby carrot from some celebrity chef when the Mom&Pop diner in my hometown, run by people I know and respect, will serve up a damn fine meal for a quarter of that?
Maher continues to be full of shit.
Amen, TOW. The more I look at the wealthy lifestyle, the more I wonder if it is even worth it or it’s cracked up to be. Part of the reason I might just stay as a paralegal then become a full lawyer (I prefer the research to arguing). I honestly prefer towns to the big city. Though for me I need to live in a state that has access to the ocean or a way of getting there. It doesn’t have to be near, but it does need to be in a state that has access to it because I love the ocean.
Residents in all states have access to the ocean via car, rail, plane, or even boots.
I meant that it has to share a border with the ocean. I can’t imagine myself living in a landlocked state. I’m not saying this out of snobbery, I just prefer to be close to the ocean.
You forgot to add; a feces, garbage, and rat infested sh*thole of a city….
Looking at you San Fran, LA, Seattle, NYC, Boston, San Diego….
Not to mention used hypodermic needles thrown on the streets.
FOX news is reporting:
“An attorney in the $250-million lawsuit filed by a Covington Catholic High School student and his family against The Washington Post told Fox News the colossal damages being sought are “appropriate in this circumstance” – and hinted liberal comedian Bill Maher could soon be served.”
Wonder if Bill’s having some second thoughts about how he has described potential jurors out there in “pass-over” Covington, KY? It’s easy to step in shit in those urban cesspools Bill is so fond of–Covington not so much–but he’s managed to do it.
Karma’s a bitch…
What is funny is that Maher identified Nathan Phillips as an “elderly man” during his HBO monologue on the Covington School situation:
“Smirk face, like that’s not a dick move at any age to stick your face in this elderly man,” the host continued.”
Maher was born 20 January 1956. Phillips was born 22 February 1955.
Phillips is also originally from Nebraska, a Red State, even though the current Mayor of his hometown, Lincoln, is a Democrat. Nebraska is also considered to be a “Fly-Over” State.
Chief Snaggletooth just looks like he is in his 70’s. All those years being an alcky and living on the street (or dirt roads in his case) can do that to a real deal Injun. Plus, lets not forget the combat stress aging he endured wrenching on those refrigeration units at El Toro Marine Base, anyway when he wasn’t AWOL, in the brig, or running a floor buffer.
Ever see “Mystery, Alaska?”
“Sir, according to the Sheriff’s report, you said, ‘What the fucking fuck kind of shitass sister-fucking hick town is this fucking place?’ Would you please tell the jury if this is correct?”
For the sake of accuracy, let’s not confuse urbanista buttheads such as Maher with everybody who lives on one of the coasts. His evident snobbery also tends to fall apart when you consider, for example, the out-of-town tourists from LA and San Francisco who show up regularly in the area where I live in California.
Maher’s cosmopolitan values, at least it seems to me, are also those of people like Jussie Smollett and Khloe Kardashian. Or, for that matter, Wolfgang Puck who doesn’t actually make very good pizza. And if being shallow and a vain attention whore is what it takes to live in Maher’s world, I don’t want any part of it.
What Maher also seems to miss is that the Amazon project in New York City ultimately fell apart because the city tried to cut a bad deal. Jeff Bezos knew it was going to be a problem child and bailed early. All you have to do is look at the competing offers from other cities to realize that it wasn’t about wanting to be cosmopolitan, it was the sensible prospect of getting 25,000 new jobs with a reasonable arrangement.
Maher also seems unaware the demographics are fairly clear that prosperity and quality of life are not exclusive to big-ass metropolitans such as NYC and LA. A study by the Walton Foundation on “micropolitans” showed up on New Geography recently with some interesting differences for small towns. It’s a safe bet this is not something Maher would realize. It’s hard to escape ignorance when you spend all of your time running your mouth and living in the same social bubble:
http://www.newgeography.com/content/006229-most-dynamic-micropolitans
I hope he keeps spewing this stuff. It’ll just help ensure that a Democrat doesn’t win the election in 2020.
One can only hope …
I checked the illiteracy rate between North Carolina and California.
NC 14%
CA 23%
Suck it, Bill.
…and NY 22%
Suck it, from coast to coast.
California also spends in the top 5 of the US on education. However, they are 43,44,45 in every education metric. (HS graduates, dropout rates, etc.)
NY Spends a crapload too. They are “better” in those metrics, but not for what they spend.
GOT-DAMNIT AW1Ed
Now I’m hungry.
Ain’t a one of the the Chef’s delicious menu items I won’t eat.
OMG THEY HAVE THE ORIGINAL THROWBACK RECIPE ITEMS!!!
https://www.chefboyardee.com/products/classic-recipes
*going to the store this evening.*
The Chef’s Lasagna….best of the best
I’ve got 80 acres, 15 head of cattle, wild game, a garden, and the means and knowledge to keep it. When the sanctuary cities become unsustainable, as they mathematically must, Maher and his ilk are going to be jealous of me and my neighbors (uneducated Trump voters for the most part). His “comedy” ain’t gonna put meat on the table. Knocking on my door and asking for a meal would not be a wise move on his part.
That’s what gets me. They seem oblivious to the fragility of their situation. And for the most part, they mock the very people that grow and transport y6the food that allows cities to exist. They have no physical skills or knowledge. They aren’t worth the liability of keeping alive.
That’s freakin sweeeeet….especially if it’s similary bordered. I don’t have near that much land but it’s bordered in all directions by working farms which opens it up even more.
Bill Maher is obviously the kind of city boy idiot who will cuss about Farmers while his mouth is full, I want him and his ilk to stay in the cities where they belong.
I need a Spaghetti-O’s sticker for my jeep.
The symbol of the new flyover country resistance.

NTC August 2004 Pre Iraq rotation. Sitting in the back of a 113 SPC Geyer (Moms was a NYC Judge) and typical Upper West Sider whines about his MRE. I reach into my pack and offer him a Chili Mac Chef Boyardee can. He sneers “Chef Who?”
“Fuck you then” as i take it back, “enjoy your Jamabalayass”
And now Chef Boyardee will become the rallying cry against the elite. A symbol of the resistance against liberal overreach, just like being a deplorable, wear a MAGA hat, or drive SUVs.
I suspect Chef Boyardee will make a killing out of these.
Should I look at the ConAgra stock, the parent company of Chef Boyardee?
Not a bad idea, Joe.
Include Dinty Moore and Spam in that, and you’ve got a winner!
I so want to be a liberal coaster. Everyone does. Every day I hear people say;
“I wish there was an orchestra around here because I really want to go.”
and
“You know I really want to spend $140 on an $7 T-shirt but there is nowhere around here to do that. We should go to the big city and find a fancy shop to do that.”
Old Bill has his finger on the pulse of America all right.
I live in a very upscale and very conservative neighborhood of a conservative city in a conservative state. There are blue neighborhoods in my city, but I wouldn’t feel comfortable going there even if I had an infantry platoon.
Also, the nearby Wolfgang Puck restaurant is rumored to not be very good. I eat at better places than it.
The use of Wolfgang Puck and Chef Boyardee for name association is pretty much a demonstration of Maher’s arrogant ignorance. Among the foodie crowd, the highest-rated restaurant in California would probably be The French Laundry located in the rural town of Yountville in the Napa Valley.
