Up until the late 1990's, I used to like Dennis Miller. I thought that his no-nonsense, free for all rants were funny and I even secretly thought he was sort of good looking. When he was a cast member of Saturday Night Live (1985-1991), his "Weekend Updates" were full of witty cross references to pop culture mixed in with equal disdain for both major US political parties. He was funny because he did not take sides. Nobody was safe from Dennis, so it was interesting to hear what he had been thinking about.
Now, I don't want to get off on a rant here, but I believe that one of his ex-fans must have come up with the name for his new game show on NBC, Amnesia. Why on earth would you go along with that name Dennis? I think you were hoping that we all had it and forgot that you had crossed over to the dark side in a move that reminded me of the loyalty between Siegfried & Roy, you embraced the Republican Empire. Remember that?
Hey Dennis, you fell off my radar for several years and then last Friday my kid was flipping through the TV channels and stopped to watch your show. Well, at least I can say that it looks like you are aging well; frankly you looked like you were as bored as we were. To be honest, your new show is as dull as Ferris Bueller's high school economic teacher. "In 1930, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, in an effort to alleviate the effects of the... Anyone? Anyone?... the Great Depression, passed the... Anyone? Anyone?"
C'mon Dennis, you are a smart enough guy! I imagine you read the script before you signed the contract to host the show. Why did you go though with it? You must have piles of money in your Santa Barbara mansion, or are you finally starting to feel the sting of a falling economy like the rest of us?
It's okay Dennis, I hear that the Santa Barbara Rescue Mission is open daily, so at least you know there will be a hot meal available for you when everything else tanks. You might have to sell off your self respect first, but this new show of yours, Amnesia, was the first step, so the rest won't feel so unbalanced. You can join the ranks of the lines of the new poor who are lining up outside soup kitchen all across America.
