Stating the obvious

I see in the paper that the U.S. Department of Education laid out $750,000 for a study that shows that going to art museums and looking at art is good for schoolchildren, which I would have been happy to tell them for, say, $500 and a nice lunch. I also have some thoughts about the defecatory habits of bears, if the Forestry Service is interested. If the government is paying large sums of money to have the obvious pointed out, then I am your man. Ask me about this war and I'll tell you for free.

I grew up the child of a mixed-gender marriage that lasted until death parted them, and I could tell you about how good that is for children, and you could pay me whatever you think it's worth.

I usually don't like Keillor all that much, but sometimes the obvious is just the obvious.

For $100.00 I can find out the Pope's Religion.

No no no. That's not how it werx. You have to "donate" half of the fee to the DNC, before you can get the grant.
