Americans, or American people, are the citizens of the United States of America. The country is home to people of different national origins. As a result, Americans do not equate their nationality with ethnicity, but with citizenship. Aside from the Native American population, nearly all Americans or their ancestors immigrated within the past five centuries.
Despite its multi-ethnic composition, the culture held in common by most Americans is referred to as mainstream American culture, a Western culture largely derived from the traditions of Western European immigrants. It also includes influences of African American culture. Westward expansion integrated the Creoles and Cajuns of Louisiana and the Hispanos of the Southwest and brought close contact with the culture of Mexico. Large-scale immigration in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries from Southern and Eastern Europe introduced a variety of elements. Immigration from Asia, Africa, and Latin America has also had impact. A cultural melting pot, or pluralistic salad bowl, describes the way in which generations of Americans have celebrated and exchanged distinctive cultural characteristics.
William "Bill" Maher, Jr. ( /ˈmɑːr/; born January 20, 1956) is an American stand-up comedian, television host, political commentator, author, and actor. Before his current role as the host of HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher, Maher hosted a similar late-night talk show called Politically Incorrect originally on Comedy Central and later on ABC.
Maher is known for his political satire and sociopolitical commentary, which targets a wide swath of topics including religion, politics, bureaucracies of many kinds, political correctness, the mass media, greed among people and persons in positions of high political and social power, and the lack of intellectual curiosity in the electorate. He supports the legalization of marijuana and same-sex marriage, and serves on the board of PETA. He is also a critic of religion and is an advisory board member of Project Reason, a foundation to promote scientific knowledge and secular values within society. In 2005, Maher ranked at number 38 on Comedy Central's 100 greatest stand-up comedians of all time. Bill Maher received a Hollywood Walk of Fame star on September 14, 2010.

Everything I do... I do it for you.
I appeared out of the dark after your father passed
I stood and took the place of all that emptiness
You said that you never thought that god existed
But someone had to answer to coincidences
So we'll just play it safe
And we'll forget that we ever had any questions
I said I'd give you everything I had
when I had nothing left
but I might just bring you down
I went from filling to becoming all that emptiness
that I saw inside you
And I would stay if I could just learn to shut my mouth
'Cause everything I say just makes it so much worse
I work my hands down to the bone
So everything I touch just feels like stone
Well, yeah, I sold myself short
You don't need me
No one does
Because I'm nothing, I'm no one
I don't care if I make it
I'm stranded, I'm nowhere
I'm straight up sinking
I'm not letting anyone bother trying to patch these leaks
There's nothing to hold, there's nothing to keep
My ship has sailed
I got stranded before the storm took over
There's only one way out
I was so tempted to give in a head for clearer weather
But there's a knot in my gut that screams,
"You won't end up closer."
There's only one way out
And it's the hardest one to take
And I'm not scared
No, I'm not
Because I'm nothing, I'm no one
I don't care if I make it
I'm stranded, I'm nowhere
I'm straight up sinking
I'm not letting anyone bother trying to patch these leaks
There's nothing to hold, there's nothing to keep
And I prayed every single night before I slept
