Sitting On Top Of The World

A tasty excerpt from a recent column by Garrison Keillor

We threw the dice and we won the jackpot and elected a black guy with a Harvard degree, the middle name Hussein and a sense of humor - he said, "I've got relatives who look like Bernie Mac, and I've got relatives who look like Margaret Thatcher."

The French junior minister for human rights said, "On this morning, we all want to be American so we can take a bite of this dream unfolding before our eyes."

When was the last time you heard someone from France say they wanted to be American and take a bite of something of ours? Ponder that for a moment.
