“What some people see as a relentless quest for power strikes me as the good habits of a serious Methodist. Be steady. Don't give up. It's not about you. Work, for the night is coming.”

Hey Keillor! Don’t insult the Methodist!  You mean some of the main tenants of the seven deadly sins, “pride and greed” being a couple I can think of and a big dose of karma, (not to leave out the Buddhists).

Keillor, you are  better off sticking to your  PBS vaudeville shtick because as a political commentator, you are not quite so witty, a half wit at best.   As one who hails from a state that elects a blow hard pro wrestler as their governor  and nasty little SNL unfunny “comedian” as their US senator, you are relegated to the world of comedy permanently.   Well, Minnesota and Alaska have only one thing in common, their winter weather.
