I'm sorry, but GK has never published any "un-Christian remarks" about our former liar-, birther-, and QAnon promoter-in-chief Trumpolini. I will add that I still find NPR to be relevant and not pretentious but smart, which is what made it a perfect home for a smart show like PHC. Nowhere else could we have heard such a show.
Mr. Keillor, I’m truly sorry you have to read letters that put you or your writing down. There are those of us who see you as a compassionate, gentle Soul who truly cares for his fellow man. Please know you touch our hearts with your words.
I'm a grownup and can take criticism and in fact I appreciate an abusive note so long as it shows creativity and humor. You learn this, living in New York. Insults need to be original.
You don't think that maybe, just maybe, Frank Assisi, writing on humility from Humble, TX, is having us on (taking the piss, as the Brits would say)? That would be - ahem - Francis of Assisi?
Comments! ? ! I can hardly begin to read this Post before I'm wishing I were there to converse with you in person! You wrote to Anne M "You're entitled to your views..." and it's as if a Tiki Torch is being ignited in these polar times! I'm less than a year younger than you, but I can't remember a time when when the interpersonal atmosphere was so politically charged! "Back in the Day", Walter Cronkiet and his ilk had their opinions - but we didn't go around testing everyone we met and judging them by whether they were "Pro-" or "Anti- Cronkiet! " It's too bad there isn't a virus going around that allows folks to open their ears, and hearts, and minds, and actually LISTEN to folks without thinking "They're not in My Camp! Therefore, nothing they have to say could possibly be true!"
Oops! I hit "Send" when I hadn't gotten beyond the first entry! As to Lady V in San Luis Obispo (?) - I appreciate that you chose to post her note. "It's Not About You!" is something we need to hear again and again, until folks finally figure out that viruses don't choose sides! We're human, all of us! And until we begin to realize that each of our bodies is a potential host, and that each body that has that "Host hood" reduced is another step in finally getting away from this scourge permanently. We do all need to work together on this! It's just REALITY - NOTHING PERSONAL!

I admire anyone who can amuse and call it "useful work". I am amused, and I appreciate your boldness!

I never heard the phrase, "taking the piss." I'll have to get my son-in-law to explain it.
"Felons", and the NPR evisceration.... Yup.
