hiddenmuse"Next time I'll raise dogs. They are more loyal and more excited to see you." - Mrs. Black
I also managed to get my hot little hands on his book, Nothing's Sacred. Interspersed with his life story (up to age 27), are some incredibly witty, incisive rants - about politics, in support of gay marriage, about how the Government can get us all worked up over flu shots.
After reading his piece in favor of gay marriage - as well as his displeasure with authority figures - I wanted to have curmudgeony Jewish Mormon Pagan Babies with him. Although, considering that he's old enough to be my father (really), and I'm on medications that have rendered me better off adopting ... it's just my fangirl silliness talking.
But, I love him. He's wickedly funny - someone that Dennis Miller could've evolved into, had he not sold out so badly. He does have kind of a wry, intelligent sense of humor - but he's not so obscure that he goes over people's heads. It never goes into condescending "look at my big words" territory.
He manages to be topical and timely, sticking it to the politicians and talking heads du jour - yet we can still hear the famous "IHOP" bit, ten years after it was originally done, and laugh our asses off. Sure, the reference to Dan Quayle nominated as Veep may be outdated, but "If it weren't for my horse, I wouldn't have spent that year in college" will always be the dumbest thing that *anyone* could say.
And that sort of idiotic statement will haunt you for days and weeks to come if you happened to hear it from some mindless jackass - and you can't find out what the hell that jackass meant!

Date: 2005-03-18 09:23 pm (UTC)As for his parents, I read about them in his book, and they both sound like very good people in their own rights! (Seems that Lewis got his humor from his mom...)
And I loved that in the article, he mentioned his love and respect for women - even having a female therapist, which was quite cool, considering that when he guest-starred on Law & Order: SVU, his character was a Howard Stern-esque shock jock!
