Now, I don't want to get off on a rant herenbsp;nbsp; The New York Times called Dennis Miller's The Rants "a pleasing mix of profanity and wit...that will make fans of his irreverent liberal angst laugh out loud." Readers across the nation clearly agreed, because the book stayed on the Times hardcover bestseller list for months, with more than 130,000 copies in print.

Whether the subject is dope-addled baseball players who can no longer swing their bats, do-nothing politicians who devote their careers to creating meaningful sound bites, or the nation's resigned acceptance of violence as a way of American life, these thematically arranged monologues are funny and angry.

Many people complain that Dennis Miller's jokes go over most people's heads. Well, for those of us who can pick up on his often obscure references, this book is a treat.

In today's comedy environment, where scatalogical humor and inane observational humor is the norm, Miller is a beacon of light in a fog of mediocrity. He knows just when to drop one of those patented analogies he is so well known. Of course, the analogies would be irrelevant if the monologues themselves weren't sharp and satiric looks at society today.

So, I say go read this book. It's funnier than watching a Himalayan mountain guide getting gored by a yak. ( )

Granted, although to some he may appear to be no Tina Fey, and he did stray to the right, he is as funny in print as he is on stage. "Pass a law that makes it compulsory for all over-the-hill rock stars to have women their own age in their videos." ( )

I used to love this book and reread it often... then Dennis Miller changed his political views and I can't stand it anymore. :)
