An excellent example of the “registered Liberal” political “Hopeful Monster Theory”.

“What is a registered liberal?”

There is an actual political party in NY State that is called the Liberal Party - have no idea, but maybe that is what he means. There is also a Conservative Party - one of their most well-known members is Sean Hannity, who often notes that he is not a Republican, but is in fact a registered Conservative.

“He used to be funny, 40 or 50 years ago.”

QFT on the “used to be” and I would reckon it to be in the 80s and maybe 90s. We had a couple of his books on tape the kids liked to listen to during road trips. Those kids are now 36 and 31 with kids of their own.

He was entertaining 40 years ago. Now, not so much.

Maybe he could move to New Jersey where it is the law that an attendant must pump your gas for you.

He is (was?) married to a Dane. Perhaps Denmark could keep him?

Republicans, beware. The tables will turn. We liberals will regain power by the simple method of redistricting. We will incorporate the Dakotas, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, and Utah into California, and usher in a hundred years of progressivism.

I'll be dead and gone by then. Have at it. Until then, I will do my best to prevent gerrymandering from succeeding in this.

The man is an insufferable condescending prig, as evidenced perfectly by this article.

This buttwipe once wrote an opinion piece in which he stated unequivocally that all the people in the military are bloodthirsty psychopaths. Keillor is a POS and beneath contempt.

Mindless, incomprehensible, stream-of-consciousness drivel.

Isn’t he referring to the latches on pumps that automatically shut off when the tank is full?

When I knew this guy, I think he was calling himself "Andy Rooney" or maybe it was "Russell Baker" or "Art Buchwald" or "Molly Ivins."

“What is a registered liberal?”

“A lib who has a parole officer?”

Plus, they’re required to sign up at an online registry. The public can then look them up prior to moving into a neighborhood.
