I've been thinking lately as I watch and listen to various talking heads that some of us are optimists and some are pessimists. Maybe it's an over simplification, but the responses to this article especially TK's prove it.
It's suggested that he lighten up. Not possible. His psyche is such that he is unable to see the possibility and reality that exists simultaneously in taking something seriously, and enjoying life.
Garrison Keillor is a gift to us all. Pure and simple. His writing, his sensibilities touch a chord in us.
TK misses the point. Keillor is dead serious. He is worried and pissed and disgusted with the current administration. However, his optimism, his very survival depends on his ability to fall back on, if only briefly that which is makes him feel good.
