It kind of disturbs me that so many of the comments appear to believe that Keillor is really against incense in the Catholic Church. It's HUMOR, people!
The comment by John Heany, "You remind me of the school bully who when he's forced to back down from a fight, strikes out at the kid nearest him," is right on - although Heany doesn't get the joke. And it IS a joke.
I thought "cat stranglers" referred to Doctor Bill Frist, majority leader in the US Senate, who describes it in his autobiography: when he was in medical school, he'd visit local pounds looking for cats, which in those days they'd give you for free, describing himself as an animal lover. Then he'd take a kitty home and dissect it, to further his study of anatomy.
Cats have some muscles that humans don't, and a number of other differences, but it was close enough. And cheap.
