I know a little less than half of you will disagree with me, but I surely hope not too vehemently. I like Garrison Keillor and his plain-spoken thoughts from the upper Midwest. I liked his recent article. It's kind of the way I feel.

Sitting on Top of the World

by Garrison Keillor, The Chicago Tribune
November 12, 2008

Be happy, dear hearts, and allow yourselves a few more weeks of quiet exultation. It isn't gloating, it's satisfaction at a job well done. He was a superb candidate, serious, professorial but with a flashing grin and a buoyancy that comes from working out in the gym every morning. He spoke in a genuine voice, not senatorial at all. He relished campaigning. He accepted adulation gracefully. He brandished his sword against his opponents without mocking or belittling them. He was elegant, unaffected, utterly American, and now suddenly America is cool again. Chicago is cool. Chicago!!!
