Dear Mr. O'Herir...

I've not read anything by you before this morning. I just read your sentence "He's a bright, shy boy from the dusty, polite middle class of Hungary's highly assimilated Jewish population", and I thought "What a GOOD writer...he nailed it."

That's all. I simply wanted to say that I admired your writing (concise and concrete), and I'll look forward to reading more of your reviews.

thank you,

Dear Everybody who just read that awful article,

first of all, the first thing you have to know about Garrison Keiller is that, like all the liberals media, he don't take the time to identify his sources and is just talking his head off to get more attention on his radio show. I've heard it. It wasn't no good.

I tried at least six or seven time to listen to that show, and I could never understand word ONE of any of it. I bet no one can. Can you? It's just awful.

the way they do it these days, you can just say or write any kind of ignernt things and they put you on the radio or tv.

THAT is what this so-called Garrison Kelier is doing.

Another of the things he was just dead wrong on was how he went on about Al Gore. He wanted Al gore to be elcteded Prsident, which was ignernt also. Al Gore is more Nellier than any florists I have seen. One thing Mr Radio-Man Garison Keillor might want to take a look at is why can't the democrats get somebody for president who don't hiss like a queen? That's IGENERNT. they need to put up somebody who knows how to TALK RIGHT, and not be waving his hands all around while he talks in thqt excited way like a girl and then try to get a vote to be president?

No way, is what I say.

No wonder nobody votes for them. that's what I'm trying to say.

Anyway the point is that Garrison Keillor just talks all out of his head, just like oprah and the Jerry Springer show, only slightly more restraineded.

I don't think no one listens to him no more, which is just why he is doing this for his garrison Keeler show of Home Companions.. To get ATTENTNTION from others. that's the reason why he does it.

Don't give him the satisfaction!

He goes on and on and flirts with every girl he gets to come on his show also to sing, and I think that more than proves my point about him.

It's so disgusting.

Also, he makes a point of going on and on about how he and his wife got a baby. I think that sort of thing is best kept private. But I am old fashioned, I guess. I guess that makes me dumb and not like him, all smart and with a radio show to go on about stuff that is best kept very private between a husband and wife.

Another main point I have is why don't he do something himself instead of just talking on the radio

that's my question.

Sincerely

David Terry (Bachelor)

Dear Ms. Harris.....

How interesting....

Just yesterday, I was re-reading Ellen Gilchrist's 1996 short story collection, "The Courts of Love". One of the final stories in the collection is "The Dog Who Delivered Papers to the Stars"---which is about precisely the same issue addressed by your article and the new Maine law.

By contrast, though.....I know of one woman who, after her husband left her, would make a point of attending the very high-level dogshows at which he exhibited his prize sealyham terriers (they're white dogs). Just before he would go into the show-ring, she would freshen her jungle-red lipstick, stride forward to the gate(he would try to block her, but who can make a fuss at a dog-show?).....and she would grasp the beard of the dog (who adored her still) and plant a big, smeary, blotchy kiss of utterly disqualifying red-lipstick goo all across the dog's forehead.

She cost him (the mean ex, not the dog) tons of money that way....and the dog enjoyed the process each time she did it.

Level Best as Ever,

David Terry
