    Can we not just put a stake in this drivel?

    I speak as an Iowan who used to tune into Prairie Home Companion religiously, week after week.

    Having lived in north central Iowa, being of German and Norwegian ancestry, married a second generation Scandinavian woman and nodded in recognition of much of the early PRC schtick, Gary (yeah, your given name, you poser) Keillor's angst just got to be too much. His little "Roots" excersion to Scandinvia with his long lost foreign exchange student lost love, dumping his main squeeze here for this Valkyrie hottie and then coming back, whining about how difficult it was living over there, only to take his rightful place back on NPR is just a bit to much for me.

    This is not a movie I will even bother to wathc on cable.
