Harassin' Feeler

From the 'I never would have seen this coming in a million years' file, Garrison Keillor, the mellow originator of A Prairie Home Companion, has been fired by NPR for sexual misconduct allegations. While I didn't often listen to Keillor's radio show, I did find his written compilation Lake Wobegon Days to be amusing. I guess the tagline of the fictional town will have to be changed: Welcome to Lake Wobegon, where all the women are strong, all the children are above average, and all the men are creeps.

In a strong patriarchy like Lake Wobegon, the girls are all married by sixteen.

But also, from what I've heard so far, it may be more more problematic than at first reported, and less terrible. More that he is rich and willing to settle, and the Nice Polite Republicans see an opportunity to savage a pretend-liberal....

They love their false equivalency, don't they?
