Uh, *wow*. Not since Bill Moyer's recent speech have I been so impressed.

Warning: this is a *very* passionate article.

Speaking of classic vs. modern Republicans, a telling quote from a great Republican president and general:

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
President Dwight D. Eisenhower
April 16, 1953

That speech rocked, and I loved the Texan who wrote in and explained that Bush was the state's revenge on Yankees for having lost the Civil War.

Two things have been clearer and clearer on "Prairie Home Companion," this last year: Keilor's growing and already-profound Christianity, and his gentle yet profound contempt for that fool, George Bush.
