Garrison Keillor, the former host of "A Prairie Home Companion," says he's been fired by Minnesota Public Radio over allegations of improper behavior.

Keillor told The Associated Press of his firing in an email. In a follow-up statement, he says he was fired over "a story that I think is more interesting and more complicated than the version MPR heard."

Most public radio talent is either gay or a sex pervert of both.

The few times I have heard Garrison, he was funny, when you divide out his Leftist barbs.

However, when you consider that he and Lauer presented themselves the final authority on whatever is right and proper and balanced, it is stunning.

Side effect of being leftist, and having behavior excused by “feminists” until now...

No one expects the Sexual Harassment Inquisition. The left is eating its own. Can’t wait for Franken and Conyers to both resign.

It can happen the other way too... the sin of lust coming from the sin of vanity or pride.

I think that’s what tripped up some unnamed televangelists.

It might even have tripped up David of the bible. He forgot to be humble, and so when Bathsheba became visible and Satan tempted, he failed to follow his ancestor Joseph in saying “how can I do this and sin against my God” (who was very dear to Joseph, so this wasn’t some abstract exercise).

He came back in the end by the mercy and grace of God, but certainly suffered along the way.

I am not surprised to see it; I am reminded to be humble so that the big head, and not the little one, gets to do the thinking.
