Miller Time  Last night I saw Dennis Miller do a new standup bit at the Mountain Winery in Saratoga. I dont want to get off on a rant here, but the guy has taken such a sudden swing to the right it makes my dizzy. That the wry swagger that once made him hip with the ladies must not have gotten play any more, he's getting older, fired twice, got bills to pay and as the theory goes, more conservative.
Its become easier, if not fashionable, for comedians to play the right after 9/11. Jokes about Hitler and facisism and idiot presidents don't play anymore. People want a gone politico Learyesque, I'm pissed, I'm pissed, I'm pissed, but this time its not because everyone's an idiot, its that those people are Idiots. Hell bent flag waving border closing don't mess with Texas my gun is bigger than yours what are these people idiots we'll bomb them back to the stone age. Dennis still has that great Carlinesque if I want to stick my finger there its my business and let's make sure the PC police understand how stupid they are bent, only with a new populist don't tread on me stick. Oh, and the news he confirmed last night is he is taking that job with Fox. Maybe if we are lucky we will have a Miller-Franken cage match.
An isolationist liberal is like a compassionate conservative is like a Volvo with a gun rack.
