The young Dennis Miller was everything every wise-cracking nerd could ever hope to be, apart from the tiny hands. His act was hot. He's been dead to me for several years now.

I enjoy his obscure references and generally enjoyed his work -- particularly the rants -- prior to 9/11. Part of the fun was his quasi-libertarian take that spared neither side.
