Don't grieve for Lord Sunkist aka Republican Jesus. His cult members are donating to his campaign I mean his legal defense fund. He is even selling a bible now, "the only bible endorsed by [Republican Jesus]." There has never been a bigger scoundrel.
Many years ago I lived near a graveyard in New Hampshire. One cold autumnal day, desirous of avoiding potentially deadly auto traffic, I was jogging around the lanes of this graveyard. Some guy, probably a groundskeeper, very indigently stopped me and told me something to the effect that it was "disrespectful" to jog in a graveyard. My thought (which I was prudent enough not to voice) was, for heaven's sake man, these people are all dead! Don't you get it? It's not bothering them!
Well I exited that graveyard and I have yet to return. Although, without doubt, I soon will...
The afterlife has always been a hard question to answer. So many different spins by different generations and cultures throughout all the ages of man. Most have dreamt or conjured the thought that there must be something beyond this time, our present. Although there is no valid proof that it is so.
My ninety three year old mother speaks of the future when she has passed, that it will be her chance to finally meet and speak to her mother who passed away at her birth. I hope that is true. Hope is a wonderful thought or dream. We all hope that the future holds glory and goodness for all who can hope for better. I hope that your Easter gives you comfort and peace of mind.
I was especially impressed by the orange fraudster’s claim that he needs his money for his presidential campaign. As if he has ever spent one of his ill-gotten nickels on his campaigns. And as if none of the other fraudsters didn’t also have other uses for their money.

Heh. Let's make America pray again, indeed. I thought his re-election campaign was already doing that. 🤯
I think you mean prey? Or pay? 🤐
All three work...
I have to get the news about orange from a comedian, usually Colbert, because it is all so absurd. I need others to help me laugh
instead of feeling alone with the absurdities that are 🍊.

You might have responded that you are the former in the phrase “the quick and the dead.”
Well played!
He rose, and everything changed.

As they often say, “The best argument against the existence of an afterlife is other people,” no?
HOLY COW! I laughed and cried so it woke up my hubby. Only for him to laugh too, when I read it out loud.
We appreciate your cheerfulness and sense of humor so much. In fact, we NEED YOU!
We wonder how you got scorned at one time, yet Trump is selling bibles and all his sins are forgiven in public—HE IS GROSS GROSS GROSS and dangerous.
Now you know why we love your cheerfulness:
To alleviate the horror of our illiterate society and the abuse given to Mother Earth.
Maybe like listening to classical music— all while the ship is sinking....
$60 bibles, yet. One has to pay for the right to forgive...
No, $59.99. The man is so classy.
Another highly enjoyable column. The last paragraph made me laugh out loud. I couldn't help it. Thank you, Mr. Keillor.
Believin' ain't Knowin'. I'm not a Southern hillbilly but I was once a Southern Baptist. And still I believe!
