Thanks again for bringing in the sheaves, GK. Since Inauguration Day, they've begun to rust. Keep on keepin' on. I know you didn't set out to be a national treasure but sometimes that's just how things turn out.
I just bought a set of your cards that you have here for sale. I even tipped your staff, because I figure that if they have to ask for a tip, then they probably need it. That's like at least three things that I've purchased from you recently; the cheerfulness post cards, the book of love sonnets with the racy cover that I'll have to hide from my beloved when I read them to her, and now these. But, come to think of it, I don't remember getting the cheerfulness post cards. Could you please check on that for me? The love sonnets I ordered on St. Valentine's Day. So, it's probably too early for me to have gotten that. But while you're checking on the cheerfulness post cards, could you please check on the sonnets too? Or ask your staff to do it. Thank you.
PS: I just bought a discounted copy of "Lake Wobegon Summer 1956," in the leftovers corner of your virtual shop which describes your adolescence in the year before my birth. I hope that I get that one too. It says that it should arrive in three to four business days. I tipped your staff again too; not a lot, just 10%, but I still don't see why they need a tip anyway. It's not like they brought me my dinner or a drink. But I didn't want them thinking of me as a cheapskate either.
ALL my PHC stuff came in one fell swoop, Garrison! Last week the love sonnets with the Modigliani drawing of a naked lady which I've hidden in my messy office where nobody but my heirs will ever find it and then they'll say, "What the HELL! Where'd Dad get THIS? Did Mom know?" Then just today, I got your book, "Lake Wobegon Summer 1956," about the summer six months before I was born, and also a package each of the beautiful scenic cards and cheerfulness balloons. So, thanks a lot for doing whatever you did to light a fire under the collective asses of your fine and highly tipped staff to get my stuff out to me. I really appreciate it!
MR. K, YOU HAVE CONSTANTLY BEEN UP TO WHAT YOU OFTEN ACCOUNT TO OTHERS TO....I KNOW IT'S A DANGLING PREPOSITION, BUT, WHAT THE HECK. YOUR UPDATES MUST GO THROUGH.
WE LEARN ALOT FROM YOU AND YOUR VERBAL, SCRIVENED MEANDERINGS...."KEEP 'EM FLYIING," AS THEY DID BACK IN WW2.
There is nothing ungrammatical with a dangling preposition. That's just some nonsense Strunk and White made up decades ago in order to constrain the English language.
Humans and humor, laughter, shared spaces…this what we need. The town cryer—why so sad? And the town fool…Donny plays his role well. The jester picking fun at the expense of himself to our delight with a ‘Trump Dump’ sign on hand…! Defective ‘Sphincter Massage’ is a great character for our times, for we all need to let loose, and help is appreciated. Guys need to be apprised for what we do and don’t bring to the table! Excellent!
I was thrilled to see you in Wilmington, North Carolina, a couple of weeks ago, and your show was just what my weary, blue-voting heart needed. Please don’t assume Southern = red. If you had mentioned any part of the Turd Reich, you would have been pleasantly surprised by how many of us - the vast majority - would have cheered that line of commentary. Thanks for a great night.
I am sure, Garrison, your mother has experienced her "Second Coming" beyond the Pearly Gates. Thank you for giving us a glimpse of it here with your humour while we still await ours.
Gosh, I must note that it's expensive to see you on stage. I'm grateful you are bonding with everyone, but it also can appear like nothing is wrong with the picture.
I'd rather see you lead a Democracy Demonstration and get the crowd singing This Land is our land, this land is your land...
We need a confident and cheerful leader right now who gives their time freely—not for profit.
Garrison, you are a funny witty insightful bowl of cherries. However loose the hate that the media has sold its readers regarding their most dreaded fearful government leader. We are seeing him indeed cleaning house, and the dispicable sensored news / editorial garbage. Truth ahead, and humorous biting stories you can share of all the leaching politicians finally exposed. We (you) the people! lh
Apparently you dislike politicians (probably because Fox News told you or someone close to you that they're all leeches)--so hand the reins of power to someone everyone has known for decades is a lying cheating fraud with no integrity. If you don't like "leeching," you shouldn't have voted for kleptocratic autocracy/oligarchy. Trump is not only a leech but a felon and an insurrectionist and a grade-A asshole of a politician.
Our country is at a crossroad between keeping our Democracy or a totally changed government that’s fascist. Your humor could be used to allow those in the south who would like their country to remain as it’s tried to be, a democracy.
To avoid that is to be as the republican senators and congressmen have been Silent and enabling this executive branch. I’m very disappointed because I have genuinely enjoyed your humor over the years but thought you were more of a patriot. So sad you didn’t use your voice to help us out of this horrid transformation. If you think you’ve built any bridges between north and south you must know that your midwest helped Trump immensely to win the presidency. Nothing ventured nothing gained.
As you said you thought Keillor was "more of a patriot," you might be aware that thump just called his co-dictator, the South African white supremacist, a "patriot" - of course, thump didn't specify to which country on Earth, aka Thump-World, he was "patriotic."
The Le Monde newspaper in France recently summed it up with the headline "Europe facing Trump-Putin axis." We've now joined the axis of evil, apparently. Two thumbs down for thump and his fascist friends.
Thank you for your service! Glad you survived unscathed. The card of the chairs on the lawn overlooking the river comforts me.
I've always loved your page, radio performances of Lake Woebegone, all things endearing!
it’s “Wobegon”

I don't about most of what you wrote this time, but I can tell you that I, apparently like you, would love to see my mother again, just one last time.
Thank you.
Cats love to be warm and mine jostle around to the warm spots, and I move them out of my bed to go to sleep.

THE MORE THE MERRIER AND THE FEWER AVOIDABLE.

AHA, TOM.....THAT'S IT!
I wish your mother was there too, Keillor. How you touch us!
Keep up the good work.

One of GK’s shows was in The Villages. You can’t get any more “wrong-way” voters than that. And he’s definitely not a coward for braving that venue.
As far as “giving them an evening of freedom”, their votes and positions hardly warrant it.
I am sure, Garrison, your mother has experienced her "Second Coming" beyond the Pearly Gates. Thank you for giving us a glimpse of it here with your humour while we still await ours.

Think it over!
Teri
Friday Harbor, Washington
Expensive, but worth every cent. I WOULD PAY DOUBLE TO SEE HIM AGAIN AND AGAIN
Teri- did you buy your tickets directly from the venue? They were a fraction of the price than what online ticket platforms were charging.

He’s not “cleaning house”. Musk is firing those who threaten his, and Trump’s, megalomania.

Of course in the real world America patriotic means one believes and acts like they are for democracy.
