thx :)
good idea ;)
Good rant! Right on target and funny. I'm dense, so I often have to run to the encyclopedia or dictionary to get some of his jokes. :) So I love they way he threw in the visual’s to help those of us with less active synoptic nerves. For example I never would have picked up on the Nephritides joke without the visual! Thanks Denis!
It's a rare moment, indeed, when Alan can't sputter the latest D talking points. ;)
Good point.

I think the rage was apparent without it. I suppose the underlying premise of the visuals is that Dennis Miller's style is word-dense and as such, doesn't translate all that well to TV, especially with an audience not specifically there to hear/see him.
good thing you got it to work. There is no way to I could convey the essence of Dennis Miller. ;)
- "What is government itself but the greatest of all reflections on human nature? If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary."
James Madison
When the founders granted 'The Press' special dispensation, they never considered the possibility that traitors in our midst would game the system. But that is precisely what is happening today. (Hate America? Support jihad? Become a 'journalist!')
This was bound to happen.
The premise behind the First Amendment as it applies to the press--that a vigilant watchdog is necessary, sufficient--indeed, possible--to protect against man's basest instincts--is tautologically flawed: The fox guarding the White House, if you will.
Walter Lippmann, the 20th-century American columnist, wrote, "A free press is not a privilege, but an organic necessity in a great society." True in theory. True even in Lippmann's quaint mid-20th-century America, perhaps. But patently false in this postmodern era of the bubbas and the Pinches.
When a free and great society is hijacked by a seditious bunch of dysfunctional, power-hungry malcontents and elitists, it will remain neither free nor great for long. When hijacked by them in the midst of asymmetric warfare, it will soon not remain at all.
If President George W. Bush is serious about winning the War on Terror, he will aggressively pursue the enemy in our midst.
Targeting and defeating the enemy in our midst is, by far, the more difficult task and will measure Bush's resolve and courage (and his independence from the MPRDC (mutual protection racket in DC)) more than any pretty speech, more even than 'staying the course.'
"It is hard to believe that a man is telling the truth when you know that you would lie if you were in his place."
H. L. Mencken

Thank you!

Dennis Miller was here on October 6. The crowd ranged from young couples (the girls with their 'tramp stamps' exhibited) to very elderly women attending alone. The socio-economic groups represented were as varied as the ages.
Miller's political material was very well received with only a handful in the audience providing outbursts from the far left perspective. Importance is attached to audience reaction because the area from which they were drawn is the west end of what political teams refer to as the "I-4 Corridor" in Florida.
Thx. I do think Dennis Miller has broad appeal.
fyi
