Sad News from Lake Wobegon

Garrison Keillor is out.

Meanwhile, President Trump continues to thrive.

I get the impression some employers and businesses might be using this trend as an excuse to dump people that have overstayed their welcome.

I thought he died a few years back. Maybe he just retired.

Where all the women are strong, all the men are good looking, and the sheep are scared...

It sounds like MPR took longer investigating this than NBC did, at least.

He did that show for so long.

Vice President Mike Pence's policy of avoiding being alone with a woman unrelated to him is looking better and better.

Except, like a lot of these guys, he's got a rep. With him being fired, I'm not sure how much will come out, but it wasn't just this incident.

I wonder how Vice President Mike Pence's fondness for hairy balls in his mouth plays into this.

I know of people who've dealt with him and have described him as making them "uncomfortable," he's screwed over a lot of people when it comes to them getting credit on his show (he didn't write as much as most people think) and has said to have been a petty tyrant to work with. He fits the profile.

Meanwhile, wife abuser Johnny Depp gets to be in the new Harry Potter series, Mel Gibson is the middle of his comeback with Neighbors 2, and Bill Clinton is still more beloved than Hillary. :/

Uncomfortable in the creepy sexual way. As for the other stuff sounding "standard," so is sexual assault, it seems. If you don't respect a person enough to not rape them, how can you respect them enough to make sure they get the credit they deserve?

For many years writers on PHC, when Keillor was there got no credit. None. Zero, zip, nada. Even on episodes where the bulk of the material was produced by someone other than Keillor.

Actually, I've had a number of decent bosses who were a pleasure to work for.

No, but it doesn't preclude him from committing sexual harassment.

Have we reached that point? Certainly, it is coming, I expect the number of allegations to explode in the run-up to the 2018 elections. I'm not convinced that the allegations against Kellior are at all untrue, or that MPR has overreacted. Harry Shearer has had an ax to grind against Keillor for some time now. Why? I don't know, but given his work for NPR, I'm certain that if he knows anything about Keillor, he'll be mentioning it soon.

Never liked or understood that NPR radio socialist shit. They gave him enough grope to hang himself.

Sure, when you can name a book that Letterman produced under his name that contained no content written by himself. The writers for Letterman were listed in the credits of the show. Keillor often denied having writers, Letterman didn't.

But good talent always acknowledged that they had good writers.

And yet, various actors and directors have been praised for their professionalism and kindness. It can be done, but people don't always want to.

It could very well be that they're doing what Spacey did and trying to fold before worse things come out.

That's never the way it goes, there will be opportunists everywhere.

It's also nice to have music radio that isn't modern country, pop, or rap
