Dennis Miller and Chevy Chase are republicans so I would not know if they are funny anymore. I don't care, don't worry. Steve Martin I try to keep up with. I would not dismiss him yet. He's one of those where you go: why is he acting? he's not an actor. Writer maybe.

Steve Martin was a pretty decent writer. There were some great scenes in The Jerk, but it became dated way too quickly.
in Cruel Shoes, Steve Martin wrote:cows in trouble by Steve Martin

These were not the average "contented" cows. They were cows born for trouble. They were not cows who could stand by and let people call them "bossy." They were cows who could not hang around all day lowing. They were cows who could be just as happy chewing someone else's cud as their own. They were renegade cows.

My first experience with the renegade cows began one day as I was admiring a particularly attractive cow at Johnson's Weed Farm. As I stood there watching her sultry body moving lithely through the rushes, I noticed several other cows staring at me through the weeds, giving me that look that only a cow can give.

Later that night, I was at home thinking over the day's events. The Rubber Duck Throwing Contest, the parade that followed: bands and floats and baton-tossing girls all marching down the middle of the Missouri River. I should have been analyzing the glare of those cows I'd seen earlier that day.

The doorbell rang. I opened the door, glad to have a visitor, but found myself face to face with three renegade cows. I could not see their eyes behind the dark glasses. They ambled in and I did not try to stop them.

That night they just stood around my bed and watched me sleep, much the same way my potatoes do, and I guess you might say I learned my lesson: Don't fool with renegade cows.

What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

Almost forgot, Jerry fucking seinfeld. Never even cracked a smile watching that tedious shit. Maybe you need to be merkin.
Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

Especially Steve Martin and Dudley More.

Dudley Moore was funny with Peter Sellers. On his own, no.

Important Seinfeld concepts. Any slightly Jewish NY guy could have played the role.

When I read a book and there is an appliance or shoe salesman, I always picture George from Seinfeld.
