Ode to Garrison Keillor
I just read Abe Sauer’s wonderful piece about Garrison Keillor, mortality, and A Prairie Home Companion, a radio program that’s always been close by to me. It makes me feel fortunate that I was able to see it live a few times at the Fitzgerald Theater when I was growing up in MN. Well worth a read.

I don’t think I’ve laughed this hard at an SNL commercial parody since Taco Town. R.I.P. ASS DAN!
SNL: The Not Ready For Prime-Time Ninjas’ spoofing of the infamous Gathering Of The Juggalos infomercial with the promotion of the stilt-walking mime and mayhem parade known as “Kickspit Underground Rock Festival” probably confused the Faygo out of nana and pop-pop, but managed to buy the show a fistful of Internet cred.
The best part? Everybody. Gets. Pitchforks.

The New Mecca
Click through to listen to a short audio excerpt of George Saunders reading from a travel piece on Dubai that he wrote for GQ. In light of the financial news of the day, this essay rings true.
Pick up a copy of The Braindead Megaphone to read the whole thing, as well as many other informative and witty pieces. It’s well worth it.

Little gems of video like this are what YouTube was made for: Efren “Bata” Reyes and one of the best pool shots I’ve ever seen.
