Couldn't they just rename them as Prairie Home Groper and call it good?

The Washington Post published an Op-ed written by Keillor yesterday defending Al Franken. Oopsie!

https://www.washingtonpost.com...m_term=.561afbd25611

Al Franken should resign? That’s absurd.

My friend Pastor B.D. Christensen said something so good Sunday morning that I woke up and wrote it down: “[something something] . . . about making peace with the mistakes of the past [blah blah blah] and learning from them. It’s slippery ground, in general, to judge past actions by present standards and with a benefit of hindsight that is, morally, highly questionable.”

And immediately I thought about the Minneapolis Park Board voting to rename Lake Calhoun as Lake Bde Maka Ska because the man for whom it was named back in the early 1820s was a slavery enthusiast from South Carolina and an author of the Indian Removal Act and also, judging from his pictures, ugly as a mud fence.

Renaming is a slippery business. I knew a Cheryl back in 1969 who became Saffron and it didn’t work out and a few years later she resumed her Cherylness. The Triborough Bridge in New York City was renamed the Robert F. Kennedy Bridge, but if you were to ask directions to that bridge, you might wind up in Pennsylvania, a state named for the common pencil. This will happen with Lake Bde Maka Ska. The name will appear on signage, but when people look at that body of water, they will think “Calhoun.” The effect of this on the slave trade in Minneapolis will be slight.

On the other hand, Jean-Louis Kerouac did well to rename himself Jack. A Jean-Louis would be unlikely to write “On the Road” but a Jack Kerouac — the road was right up his alley. In 1963, Idlewild Airport on Long Island was renamed JFK, which stuck, thanks to the clumsiness of “Idlewild” — no large airport is idle, and airline passengers do not care to think of aviation in terms of wildness — and besides that, “JFK” rhymes. Fine and good. And back in the 18th century, Francois-Marie Arouet did a smart thing by taking the pen name Voltaire.

That name worked out well for Francois-Marie — it lent an electricity to his work. For example, his statement: “Any one who has the power to make you believe absurdities has the power to make you commit injustices.” We might not believe that coming from a Francois-Marie. And how considerate of him to say it in English rather than French.

The greatest absurdity of our time is You Know Whom, which goes without saying but I will anyway. What his election showed is that a considerable number of people, in order to demonstrate their frustration with the world as it is, are willing to drive their car, with their children in the back seat, over a cliff, smash the radiator, bust an axle and walk away feeling good about themselves. No other president in modern times has been held in contempt by a preponderance of people from the moment he said, “So help me, God.” The playboy blather, the smirk of privilege, the stunning contempt for factual truth — how can the country come together when the president has nothing in common with 98 percent of the rest of us?

And then there is Sen. Al Franken. He did USO tours overseas when he was in the comedy biz. He did it from deep in his heart, out of patriotism, and the show he did was broad comedy of a sort that goes back to the Middle Ages. Shakespeare used those jokes now and then, and so did Bob Hope and Joey Heatherton when they entertained the troops. If you thought that Al stood outdoors at bases in Iraq and Afghanistan and told stories about small-town life in the Midwest, you were wrong. On the flight home, in a spirit of low comedy, Al ogled Miss Tweeden and pretended to grab her and a picture was taken. Eleven years later, a talk show host in LA, she goes public, and there is talk of resignation. This is pure absurdity, and the atrocity it leads to is a code of public deadliness. No kidding.

Franken should change his name to Newman and put the USO debacle behind him and then we’ll change frankincense to Febreze. Remove the slaveholder Washington from our maps, replacing him with Wampanoag, and replace Jefferson, who slept with Sally Hemings — consensual? I doubt it — with Powhatan, and what about the FDR Drive in New York, named for a man who was unfaithful to his wife? Let’s call it RFD and let it go at that.

These people are batshit crazy.

Nietzsche called such people "epileptics of the concept"; they've gotten an idea that's driven them insane.

Fascinating to watch

with a lot of these leftist/progressive/liberal "news" people, they live in an environment where they see reality and then massively lie about it every day to their audiences.

They are totally immersed in deceit and deception. (and successfully getting away w that)

It comes so easy because they all go along w the DEM playbook and talking points.

So they say the most outrageous untruths and know their gigantic support network will cover for them and reinforce their propaganda.

Except now, part of that hard core "support network" is turning against them.

I'm surprised I had never seen that interview before. Ol' Bill must be smiling a little bit to himself now.

Hokey smokes---what's next? Charlie Brown accused of inappropriately touching the Little Red-Haired Girl?!?

Keillor email to the Star Tribune this afternoon:

So.... Keiller admits to bare backing a woman without consent.

Well, shit, Garrison- all those hours working that Buns of Steel workout tape paid off. All those women want to grab your tight ass, beefcake.

Yet another commie stud.

Sea Level Rises Hundreds Of Feet Due To Sweat From Celebrities Waiting To Be Outed As Perverts
November 29, 2017



U.S.—Stunned meteorologists reported Wednesday that the sea level has risen an astonishing 300 feet overnight, as the sweat from celebrities trying to cover up their sexual harassment scandals rained down “in buckets.”

Vast swathes of the United States are now entirely underwater, including major coastal cities and regions, as the investigations into various celebrities and TV personalities continue.

“This is a worldwide disaster,” one NBC News anchor (not Matt Lauer) said. “We saw an uptick when Harvey Weinstein’s deviant behavior came to light, but when it became clear the revelations wouldn’t be slowing down anytime soon, celebrities and otherwise powerful individuals all across the nation began sweating profusely.”

At publishing time, FEMA disaster officials had recommended that all yet-to-be-outed celebrity perverts simply confess their sins, repent, and find peace with God in Christ, in order to avoid further guilt and flooding.

Dear Penthouse Forum,

Funny thing, I had almost the exact same thing happen to me with regard to a young lady's skirt...

Hey Garrison, just quit while you're ahead. You're a good writer but, you just confirmed to everyone you're a perv. There's a reason why you're not physically affectionate and there's a reason why you're off in the corner while everyone congratulates each other post-performance. You're a perv.

Dear NPR,

Please, just drop the whole show, and do re-runs of Car Talk.

I'd really like that.

Your platonic pal,

RichardC

This whole thing reminds me of the arsonist who when trying to burn down a building got some gasoline on his hands and sleeves, and after striking the match, wondered why the fire jumped back on him and burnt him to a crisp too. Sometimes letting the genie out of the bottle generates outcomes you just can't control. The Left is learning that lesson in spades right now as it runs for cover....

Lauer was the highest paid morning host, earning $25 million a year.

It’s not clear if NBC is paying Lauer through the end of his contract, which expires in 2018.


Megyn Kelly is now believed to be the network's highest paid host, taking home an annual salary of $18 million.

Which is hysterical because ol' Megyn was the biggest waste of their money ever. Stay tuned for Meghan and Savanah in the morning. There's no way they don't bring her over to the 7am slot to try and get some value for the money they spent on her.
