Oooooo, that's good. I like that!
Keillor used to have a boring show on NPR. I didn't know he was still around.
I'll stop talking for ....... one millions dollars
"The public library, that great democratic temple, will become a waiting room for desperate and broken people, the alkies, the whacked-out, the unemployables..."
This is a good description of the public library in that socialist paradise, Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Sigh. Keillor was sometimes funny in spite of himself. Nowadays he seems consumed by bitter hatred. If he continues to spew this kind of crap, I don't think he'll last much longer as a writer. Because not even his lefty pals will buy it.
Magninimity? I think the red states are the charity givers, whilst the blue states are rather parsimonious aren't they? (It's my guess also that it's the red counties and red voters within the blue states that do most of the magnanimous stuff anyway.) That turkey just won't fly, Garrison. The other night, my husband turned off Prairie Home and said he isn't listening to it any more. We had enjoyed it (except for Keillor's blatant Republican bashing), but guess Garrison really doesn't need us after all.
Was that the same compact John Edwards was using to primp while campaigning?
And just to think I actually paid money to see his show when it came to Chicago a great while back. Never again! Once again, somebody like Keillor opens his mouth and gives credence to the plea for entertainers to "shut up and sing".

Exactly. Same for all of us. Along with paying that other public parasite, with the palatial home on-or-near Nantucket and the Kennedy's et al - Bill Moyers.
This "book" could be utilized as ammo to either get Garrison off NPR - unlikely - or have NPR provide equivalent opportunity for a noted man or woman of traditional observations who has something to say and says it well.
Garrison, as with so many liberals, is a narcissistic boor. His mournful dirge of a voice just ripples with teary compassion for all the injustices of the world - except the injustice of our tax money supporting this jerk.
Sounds like a lot of our big cities, which of course are controlled by Dems (or lefties)
Oh, vomit. Doubled over, gut wrenching, throat tearing, vein popping, uncontrollable retching all over the floor. I have despised his vile, smarmy, ill concealed hatred of all things good, decent, and American since I first heard him back in the late 1980s. His PHC mockeries of rural American life were neither charming nor heartwarming, and his voice has been heard on Earth almost since the beginning ... Eve was the first to listen to him, and look where that got us.
I listened to Prairie Home Companion for a long time back when it was funny, but I don't recall ever hearing any mention of any character of a minority race in that middle American paradise.
Well put. If you were on NPR, I would listen.
