… just makes me sad. Garrison Keillor, who I remember seeing when he brought Prairie Home Companion to a California theater — and who got the audience to sing an old hymn called “Tell Me Why” that was simple and uplifting and sweet — apparently has decided on a scapegoat:

Not one to shy away from speaking his mind, Keillor proposed a solution to what he deemed a fundamental problem with U.S. elections. “I’m trying to organize support for a constitutional amendment to deny voting rights to born-again Christians,” Keillor smirked. “I feel if your citizenship is in Heaven—like a born again Christian’s is—you should give up your citizenship. Sorry, but this is my new cause. If born again Christians are allowed to vote in this country, then why not Canadians?”

(sigh)

It hasn’t been a good day.
