Praire Home Hate
Dec. 18th, 2009 04:26 pmThis is spiritual piracy and cultural elitism, and we Christians have stood for it long enough. And all those lousy holiday songs by Jewish guys that trash up the malls every year, Rudolph and the chestnuts and the rest of that dreck. Did one of our guys write "Grab your loafers, come along if you wanna, and we'll blow that shofar for Rosh Hashanah"? No, we didn't.
Christmas is a Christian holiday - if you're not in the club, then buzz off.
Garrison Keillor, ladies and gentlmen. I dunno what to say beyond that. I sort of like Prarie Home Companion, but I've gotten weird impressions of Keillor before from it. I recall one episode wherein he watched a fictional acquaintance washing clothes in a laundromat the night before his wedding, and delivered a little monologue about the futility of the man's life. As though having to wash your clothes in a laundromat were some kind of mark of worthless life.
For people looking for a Keillor alternative, may I humbly suggest Stuart McLean as a far superior folksy raconteur? Keillor's sort of like Stuart McLean, minus charity and liberality.
