Suggestion: Let Dennis Miller host "1/2 Hour News Hour."

[tomreedtoon]

It is the most logical step for News Corp to make. Miller hasn't been funny in twelve years, as some people have estimated. His talk shows and his opinion shows and especially his guest appearances have been train wrecks. But...he's a Bush loyalist. And if we've learned anything about the Bushies, they reward loyalty way over competence. Look at Michael Brown.

At this rate, the show needs a "name." Oh, it already has "names," yelled at the screen in anger or muttered in disgust as people tune away. But I mean a "name" that will establish the level of humor you expect from Rupert Murdoch. And who better to represent the jollity of the guy who destroyed numerous magazines and newspapers than Dennis "Reagan Hair" Miller?

Go for it, guys.

2. That's not fair. He was really funny in those Chuck Wagon commercials

or was it some kind of electric razor?

3. At some point Miller will say that he's not a Republican, never voted for Bush and

never supported the war.

5. He'll say he's an Independent...

And leans libertarian.

4. I'm sorry, but the galactic consequences would be too devastating

I mean, the unfunny show being done by the unfunny (but highly intelligent - but bought off) host?

Are you familiar with how black holes are formed? This would result in one ... the weight of the lack of comedy would collapse upon itself and become a black hole (and not just of comedy) ...
