Here’s what happened to the Republican Party By GARRISON KEILLOR

The Union is what needs defending this year. Government of Enron and by Halliburton and for the Southern Baptists is not the same as what Lincoln spoke of. This gang of Pithecanthropus Republicanii has humbugged us to death on terrorism and tax cuts for the comfy and school prayer and flag burning and claimed the right to know what books we read and to dump their sewage upstream from the town and clearcut the forests and gut the IRS and mark up the Constitution on behalf of intolerance and promote the corporate takeover of the public airwaves and to hell with anybody who opposes them.

This is a great country, and it wasn’t made so by angry people.

[One response:]

?…and there is more to life than winning.?

Garrison, you had better hope so, because lose you will. Lose you must.

Because those horrible Republicans you speak of – and those who support the best President since the end of WWII – we will surely prevail.

And you WILL lose. Most importantly, the world will be so much better for it. You are a talented, likeable man. much more likeable when you keep out of the political debate. — A. Oplas
