PHC just went off and I wasn't paying a lot of attention to the closing
credits, but I think I heard GK say something about a TV show starting
this fall. Was I hallucinating?

Earlier in the show, Garrison was doing a parody on how he bought CBS. The story went something like this. He claimed that it had been a nice spring week in Minnesota, but the TV stations reported that it was snowing. He didn't like this slanderous coverage that the "eastern liberal press" was giving to Minnesota, so he marched over to see Garrison Cargill (Cargill Corp. is the sponsor or underwirter, whatever the term is in public TV and radio, of PHC), and got the money to buy CBS. Now Garrison is in control of CBS, and he's going to operate it with a conservative midwestern slant. And, of course, he's going to put his show on TV . . . Did I get it right? I don't listen very closely on Saturday nights either (with two kids around the dinner table, I miss a lot!), but I tape it and play it while commuting during the following week. If, upon rehearing it, I find that I haven't relayed the story correctly, I'll repost. Carl Blesch

GK said he was tired of letting the east-coast liberals and the Florida state department wring more dollars out of elderly Minnesotans by broadcasting those outrageous lies about snow and cold weather in MN. Said he did something about it, too. Together with the Cargill guys, he bought up CBS and is going to put an end to that nonsense. Also, having outgrown the radio show, .... Nemo PS - I've got this great puddle out back!
