Dennis Miller’s HBO show is ending after nine years on August 30th. That’s a real shame. Although I often forget to watch it live, I always enjoy it when I manage to see it. Some people have claimed that his references are too obscure and highbrow, and maybe that’s the case for a good segment of the populace watching Monday Night Football. Personally I applaud the fact that he can be simultaneously erudite, hilarious, and plain fun. Of course, lately I seem to be ranting about anything that contributes to the dumbing-down of our nation, which not surprisingly often involves W. :-p
