Hey, Babe
"Listen, I would call the French scum bags, but that, of course, would be a disservice to bags filled with scum. I say we invade Iraq, then invade Chirac."--Dennis Miller.
I can only HOPE that Dennis Miller says something equally hilarious when I tape his CNBC talk show. The program will air next Wednesday at 9 PM and midnight. I'm going to be on the "Varsity Panel." That means I'll get to talk for about 20 seconds, which is probably too much. Also on the panel with me are author Virginia Postrel, who is smarter tham me, though that's not saying a lot, and someone else who's also probably smarter than me.
Maybe I'll get to say this:
"This is the time of year that everyone gets all excited about celebrating the fact that a woman conceived a baby 2,000 years ago without actually having sex. In fact, more people believe that absolutely than ever before. Nice to know that science has finally trumped superstition in our time. Well, if you get to believe in a virgin birth, then I get to believe that a giant celestial elephant blew the earth out of his ass at the dawn of time, and that someday he'll descend from the sky with a troupe of tap-dancing monkeys. Hey, babe. It's my religion. You make fun of it, and I'll kill you."
Comedy is so funny. CNBC, next Wednesday, 9 PM and midnight.
