#1 Where all the burglars are above average.

#2 My mother always said that if you couldn't say anything nice, don't say anything at all ...

But I used to love Prairie Home Companion - I never missed listening to it - right up until about the 2004 election. Then somehow, the choking aura of smug just got too thick for me to breathe. The constant dribble of slams about Bush, the amnesia about 9/11, the willful ignorance of the fact that in a real small-town flyover state there would have been dozens of active-duty service personnel affected by the war. But oh, no - GK was just too evolved, to right-coasty and too G-D smug to even mention it. So, I quit listening, altogether, although I understand that it's even worse, following the election of The One.
Pity - once it was a good program, and much more reflective of what America was really, really like - not the Hollywierd caricature usually presented in commonly-available media.

Oh, well - hope his theft insurance was paid-up.

#3 I'm sure they needed the money, and, after all, who are we to judge? I hope they get away

#5 ...I still listen to it every chance I get - I just filter out the political crap.

BTW, avoid the movie at all costs. Mystery Science Theater 3000 would throw it away as being just too easy.
