(and who isn’t) you may not have read the Bleat in too long a time. Well, here’s one worth reading (though you’ll want to skip down a bit past the candle):
Well, let’s see what’s up with the Old Scout this week. Garrison Keillor’s column – America’s most peculiar example of a fine writer willingly demonstrating his shortcomings as a short-form essayist – begins with this startling observation:
“People accuse us old liberals of smarmy self-righteousness and God knows they are right.”
They do? They are? People accuse self-righteous people of self-righteousness; seems to be enough to go around regardless of one’s opinion on regulation and taxation, but I suspect he’s winding up to a justification, not a condemnation.
It’s all good fun and sage words on things political.

I miss the screedblog.
The screedblog was my favorite thing on the internet!
As Garrison admits to that characteristic, he should not be surprised why many of us who have left the liberal “church” mock it. I listened weekly to his PHC for years and years, even after my politics diverged from the liberal “church”, but when I got tired of listening to reruns, I stopped listening to the PHC.
