Podcast 72 - I am an antiquity myself and I realize the Met’s goal is to broaden its base by creating joy where there had only been awesomeness, (this) ... makes me incredibly happy.
I’m so happy your voice has returned to our ears. I can’t wait to see you with my eyes again if you stop through the DC area. Thank you for making the Writer’s Almanac available. I listen and often shed a tear longing for those days when I’d hear you as I started my day each morning. And looked forward to hearing the Prairie Home Companion. Much has changed in the world but it’s a great comfort to hear you again.
Please don't use others' means of making a living as an example intended to disparage another's qualifications. I would imagine being a municipal sewage inspector requires a vast knowledge of a myriad of health and safety codes and regulations.
Actually, I had to take a rigorous test to become a certified waste water treatment plant inspector. I had retired from being a tenured professor of chemistry at a state university, and was looking for something worthwhile to do. It's a smelly job though. I would elect the felon for a job as dog catcher (now called animal control officer).
Oh, dear, no. Animal control officers would all hopefully be kind and compassionate and patient, dealing with an animal when it is probably at its most scared and stressed. With comments all over social media of "wouldn't be qualified to...", I've yet to come up with anything the infamous felon would be qualified for. Poop removal at a dog park? His felonies make him ineligible to be hired to work around children, and my dogs are my children.
Hello Mr Keillor: First of all I would like to tell you I have listened to your radio show many, many times over the years. I would pick it up on various stations as I traveled to and from fairs and trade shows around the western US. I recently started reading from you podcasts. I am sorry to say I have lost much respect for you as an individual for your nasty slurs on our former and next president. You sound like many people I have heard with the same nasty comments. I do believe you should look a little deeper before you express your thoughts in such a negative manner. Outside of this you sound like a very thoughtful and kind person. The two aspects of your personality do not seem to go together in harmony. Graham Van Zant
This shows how Trumpists ignore all the facts: Convicted by a jury whose members had been approved by his own lawyers, insisting that legal immigrants eat dogs and cats in Spingfield, ordered to pay restitution to a woman he assaulted (one of 27 suing him), etc. etc. If he is elected (little chance), it will be the end of the Republican Party.
Good afternoon, Garrison: Maybe this comment from a Canadian friend now visiting in our home will help us not to become discouraged. "I predict Harris will win by 5 to 6 points". rr
The Head of Editorials at the L.A. Times resigned and Robert Kagan of the WP also resigned because the owners, the rich men, don’t want their newspapers to indicate a preference in the coming election. They should learn from the heavy duty editors of the AZ Republic, Burton and Boas, who weave their Republican magic over the verbal niceties of editorial content while lower ranked editorial heads bow their heads deferentially. There must be no democratic infection seeping up under the floorboards to destroy the Republican charge for the presidency. Democrats must be defined as socialist, foul mouthed deviants intent on destroying the peace and order of the state, tottering as it is under the weight of migrants armed to the teeth looting the malls and teaming up with the homeless to destroy America. Let’s keep the money flowing to the rich so that they can buy bigger houses, with more bathrooms and toilets and garages.. If there weren’t rich people what would poorer people have to aim for to make their lives meaningful and keep them working in tedious hum drum jobs? Praise be to good foreign immigrants, like Murdoch and Musk, looters in chief who show us all the way. Amen.
As soon as the Biden fueled interest rate/inflation epidemic is over I may finally be able to own a west coast home. Let’s grow the economy now instead of choking it off. Let’s eliminate the waste. That will reduce inflation and high rates.
Sit back and watch him Make America Great Again by closing the border, revitalizing the American energy industry, ending wars and not letting any others start, continue to refine the court system, reduce regulations and stimulate manufacturing and small business development…the same things he did in his first term. It is going to be great!
Now let's see what he did in his first term: Mismanaging the Covid epidemy to the point where we had the highest fatality rate in the first world, setting the stage for the recession by mismanaging our economy, antagonizing and almost leaving NATO, instigating an insurection that cost lives, etc. etc.
What fantasy you spin. Tax cuts for the richest one per cent; deportation of tens of thousands, he has promised. Maybe you can work manning the gas chambers. His and Vance’s goal will be to outdo Adolph Hitler. Have you looked at project 2025? O! You support fascism?
What I'm going to do if Trump wins is everything possible to throw a wrench into any of the stupidity he attempts to try. So will millions of others. What are you going to do?
Well Dave, if that is your real handle, maybe you should go and dig a deep hole and spew your vile into it so the world above doesn't have to suffer it!

Out to pasture with the Orange Baboon.
Mr Keillor please bring your show to Hawaii. We love you in the 50th state. Many Lake Wobegon relocated residence here.

!!!THREE TERMS FOR DONALD TRUMP!!!
One served in Georgia,
one served in New York,
one served in federal prison.
Trump 20-24 years in prison.
I can't unsee that image!
What in the world are you going to do when Trump wins…move to Ireland?
Bless your heart
The failed television game show host is burnt toast. Looks good with that orange marmalade face.
No please move to a truly socialist country as that it seems is your desire.
“Socialist” (definition) : “I can’t think of a real argument, so I’m going to start yelling scary-sounding words.”
Sit back and watch him Make America Great Again by closing the border, revitalizing the American energy industry, ending wars and not letting any others start, continue to refine the court system, reduce regulations and stimulate manufacturing and small business development…the same things he did in his first term. It is going to be great!

Bless your heart
I have a friend from Alabama who explained to me that in an argument "Bless your heart" means "F**** you"
It has many meanings…good and bad…the recipient is left guessing…
I am certain that, coming from a person who likes a serial molester of women, it means what I surmised
What fantasy you spin. Tax cuts for the richest one per cent; deportation of tens of thousands, he has promised. Maybe you can work manning the gas chambers. His and Vance’s goal will be to outdo Adolph Hitler. Have you looked at project 2025? O! You support fascism?
You are one insane idiot who couldn't think himself out of a wet paper bag
Name calling? Weak. Join the real world and look at the fascist that Trump is.
Like I stated, you are one insane person.
And you are rude. Grow up.
How about a wet paper bag over Cheeto's face so he falls down the stage while dancing his double male jerk-off dance?
How stupid…
What I'm going to do if Trump wins is everything possible to throw a wrench into any of the stupidity he attempts to try. So will millions of others. What are you going to do?
Well Dave, if that is your real handle, maybe you should go and dig a deep hole and spew your vile into it so the world above doesn't have to suffer it!
Dig the same hole for the putrid Magalini.
Hope springs eternal in the human breast.
