My Apologies…
.ijreview.com ^ | Dennis Miller

Posted on 08/10/2015 8:02:29 PM PDT by BenLurkin

Now that our subconscious has indeed found a coat rack on Twitter, every 1/32nd of a notion, every rem flutter, every wispy contrail on an electro-encephalogram is being placed on a black velvet jeweler’s cloth and subjected to a loupe inspection just this side of an IMAX colonoscopy. Twitter…never have lives less lived been more chronicled. If only Lewis and Clark had kept journals this assiduous.

Be it the lilac swirled empty cone that is Kelly Osborne or that all too easily cowed waste of an apostrophe Martin O’Malley (insisting he misspoke when he sacrilegiously asserted that “all lives matter”) ex post facto reputation armor-alling has now replaced simple whining as our new national pastime.

Granted, Donald Trump has many rough edges hidden in that cranberry juice cocktail logo of a coiffure but isn’t it cathartic to see a man mis-speak yet stay wallenda-ed out there on a limb all by himself? Not seeking the absolution of a collective that, quite frankly, ridicules, disparages and reviles as a default setting when settled into its own sanctum sanctimonious.

Whose feelings, by the way, are assuaged by these metronomic caveat-empties that sound like a POW reading a prepared statement in the presence of a looming captor? Always delivered in that flat coroner dictaphone monotone that makes the disembodied computerized tram voice at Atlanta/Hartsfield sound like Adele.

Maybe he should have written this in plain English. You know, the type that is spoken normally.

Miller wouldn’t have shtick without all the gobbeldy-gook.

It’s a little deeper water than you should venture.

If you have a dictionary, it all makes sense. It’s quite humorous. (You’ll just have to take my word for it).

I’ve always loved Dennis Miller’s take on current events.

Negative. That variety of syntax is utilized exclusively by plebeians.

My dear FRiend.

My vocabulary is not so challenged that I require a dictionary to follow Dennis Miller’s messaging mayhem.

Yes, it’s gobbledy-gook — but that is what makes it brilliant.

The messaging mayhem is what makes it interesting for language geeks like me. I love it!

Well, there we have it. He is the arbiter of gobbly gook.

Mr. Miller is always fun to listen to. Hard to keep up with sometimes, but always a hoot.

I agree, it is brilliant. I for one welcome our new language overlords.

BTW - can anyone suggest another word for thesaurus?

Denis Miller had a series on HBO before it lurched wildly to the Left.

If you can find them on YouTube and actually see him do is act you might find him funny.
