Mar 21 07: </sarcasm>
Pursuant to the whole Garrison Keillor thing: apparently it was all a misunderstanding, an attempt at satire that fell entirely flat. Another victim of the dreaded On The Internet No-One Can Hear You Wink syndrome.
Although Dan Savage is underwhelmed—or, at best, whelmed—by Keillor’s apology, I’m glad to hear this, because I would have missed GK. I am obliged to stress, however, that if this many people fail to recognize your satire as satirical, it should be taken as a sign of weak writing, not of an overtouchy audience.
Anyway, thus endeth the scandalette.
