GARRISON KEILLOR |
A modest plan for saving the country
It's the best part of summer, the long lovely passage into fall. A procession of lazy golden days which my sandy-haired gap-toothed little girl has been painting, small abstract masterpieces in tempera and crayon and glitter, reminiscent of Franz Kline or Willem de Kooning (his early glitter period). She put a sign out front, "Art for Sale," and charged twenty-five cents per painting. Cheap at the price.
Anti-tax pledges and their effects
On Aug. 30 a Washington, D.C., lobby group that operates under the name "Americans for Tax Reform" (ATR) sent out a news release headed, "Jill Derby (D-NV) Fails to Sign Taxpayer Protection Pledge." Jill Derby is the Democratic nominee for the U.S. House seat that represents about a third of Nevada's population and most of its territory.
