Here’s a story from today, Nov 7, 2017:

I find shooting fun and relaxing. That’s why I own firearms.

Yup. Saw this coming.

Honestly the reason Northam will likely lose isn’t because of Gillespie playing the “Trump but civil” game, but ol’ Ralphie shooting himself in the foot, repeatedly and unnecessarily.

I’m deeply afraid that this is going to be what every election is like from now on.

It wasn’t a political statement as much as it was a reminscing about “simpler times” or some nonsense.

It’s chain of thought; a bona fide writing style. He used to do bits in Prairie Home Companion that were in this freeform chain of thought style as well. Also, to be fair, the whole piece makes a lot more sense than the snippets provided here.

Nah, he doesn’t. I completely understood the statement above, and if it was a bit old-dude rambly, it was cogent and followed from front to back. Please do not liken Garrison Keillor to Trump.

He’s kind of always been that way, but still...

First they came for Bill Maher, and I was silent. Then they came for Garrison Keillor, and I cried. Then, one day, Hamilton Nolan came after me . . .

You’re taking whacks at Garrison Keillor now?
