Product Description
Now, I don't want to get off on a rant here, but, don't these radical religious right leaders scare you a little ? I'm not talking about good simple religious folk here. I empathize with you people. I know you're frightened. It looks like the bad guys are winning. And I know you want to do the good Christian thing and save some of the bad guys, but you're probably preaching to the unconvertible. This is a long trail ride, and occasionally a satanic heifer or two is gonna head over the ridge and go off on their own. Let them go. Quit trying to set God up on blind dates with people he has nothing in common with...
...Look, America has always been a violent country. Rent "Birth of a Nation " if you doubt that. But nowadays we've gone off the Richter scale. I can remember when I was a kid leaving our screen door unlocked at night. I can remember going to the playground and my mother worrying about me getting hurt on the swings, not me getting snatched and duct-taped into the trunk of some loser's Trans Am...
Dennis Miller is here, folks, and he takes no prisoners. Whether the subject is dope-addled baseball players, do-nothing politicians, or the nation's resigned acceptance of violence as a way of American life, Miller's monologues are funny and angry. More significantly, they shatter the conventions of comedy by simultaneously making us laugh, think, and seethe.
Here at last is a collection of thirty-five of Miller's favorite invigorating and thought-provoking rants, showcasing his singular point of view.
Of course, they're just his opinions. He could be wrong.
