Please stay healthy. We need you to carry a positive message to the rest of the world for us.

You are so lucky. My dad suffered a stroke and it impaired his short term memory and ability to reason. Consider yourself so lucky and you have a chance to look at life in a new way and appreciate all your friends and family.

Is his mouth paralyzed?

WIth his medical history, don't be optimistic that he'll be around for a long time.

He is an oral master storyteller. Closest to him in that regard was Jean Shepherd on WOR.

It's just nice to have him back from Cuba, or whatever other healthcare paradise liberals talk about where he could get decent medical care.

Hope tomorrow's headlines can tell us what he put in his coffee... I'm on the edge of my seat here.

Previous to that, he had heart surgery. So he has some serious circulatory problems.

Cuba, Mexico and India are supposed to be el cheapo yet with well-qualified doctors, whatever that means.

Liberal? In a few ways. If so, I'm awaiting the first light-in-the-loafers Lake Woebegone character. Heh! But he's smart enough to not to that.

This sour, bitter, frog-eyed, arrogant, condescending pogue couldn't carry Shepherd's pencil case!

They should have vented the ill humours from his spleen when he was in there.

You, Garrison Keillor, have been my mentor for years. I wish you restored health and vigor immediately.

Having three of Jean Shepherd's collections here on the shelf, I feel bound to point out that they both stayed pretty safely within a certain vein of material. I'm not an immense fan of either guy, but the Wobegon stories and Shepherd's Indiana boyhood stuff are awfully darned similar.

Why does everything on the internet devolve into this sort of trash talk?

You need to set the bar a tad higher!
