BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

Quotes about Garrison Keillor
My mom calls late-night talk shows and the White House, and sends love letters to Garrison Keillor

Not withstanding Garrison Keillor's claim that we are all above average here, that's not the reason we have higher vote totals than other states ... It's that we have a system that encourages people to vote.

His style is one that assumes the luxury of time on the part of his listeners as he develops his musical story. Those of us in the 21st century, who are used to 30-second sound bites, are not used to good storytelling in the old-fashioned sense (unless you listen to Garrison Keillor) ... The work is traditional in its four-movement structure, though it is monumental in scope.

no promotion of a brewery, or frozen custard, or Harley Davidson motorcycles, or anything else. It was just a pure, blazing display. Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade is a piece of crap next to it.
