On Gary Keillor

The funny thing is that Gary Keillor (his real name, by the way--"Garrison" is just what he started calling himself as an adult because it sounds so much more urbane and literary) is pretty much where I see Rod's trajectory headed over the next few years. Not that I expect him to leave Julie, mind you, just that by, 2015 at the latest, I expect him to continue to aver that he is "personally" offended by mainstream culture and is at heart a man of puritanical, conservative opinions, who nevertheless toes the left party line on account of things like the environment, health care, and whatever hard, dirty work we have to be undertaking in the Middle East at that time.
