I can't stand his self-righteous attitude.<BR/><BR/>I, too, would much rather spend an evening with P.J.

The kids love Jiggs. So we formed our own pack -- and started talking about what we mini-urbanites discuss this time of year: the fair. When I mentioned I was seeing Garrison Keillor, they looked at each other and asked: "Who is that?" And there is the divide that people like John McCain and Barak Obama must cross.

Even though I like a lot of his humor, I often find him tedious on stage.

I love his ability to embrace our precious American values yet poke fun at some of their absurdities.1st Matehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05276608080436409432noreply@blogger.com
