    Please no more Keillor garbage, please?

    I have no negative or positive feelings for Mr. Sharon (I try my best not to think about the Middle East), but this article is smug, snarky trash: Mr. Keillor's specialty.

    Salon, I'm begging you not to support this man's sinecure as the eminence gris of NPR and other lefty media (I'm a lefty who doesn't need his self-satified stylings). Give some of those fresh, unheard voices out there a chance.

    This is a serious request.
