its much too soon to lose him and I'm sure he has much more he'd like to do.

[DrDan]

Saturday's will not be the same until you are back.

[divideandconquer]

3. Good luck Garrison!

[JohnnyLib2]

We need him and his humor, more than ever.

[arbusto_baboso]

He's a funny man and a gentle soul.

6. So sorry to here this. he is a national treasure.

[tiny elvis]

17. yes he is

[Pangolin2]

7. DAMN

He's one of the good guys with a lot of recognition. Hope it isn't a debilitating one.
:cry:

[Morning Dew]

9. He is one of the good ones.

"I'm ashamed of Minnesota for electing this cheap fraud..." Garrison Keillor on Norm Coleman.

[Sal Minella]

19. His savaging of the * administration gave me endless joy.

He leaves the small-minded, stone-hearted Repuglicans no wiggle room at all.

[Generic Other]

8. Oh oh

Get well soon!

We need your voice!

[Peacetrain]

10. Oh NO!!

[saracat]

11. Get well Garrison! We NEED you!

[Frustratedlady]

12. I love Garrison's wit.

Get well soon! Hopefully, the minor stroke was a warning.

[The River]

13. Get Well Soon

and go back to work!
Radio wouldn't be the same without you.

[Love Bug]

14. I just saw him at the State Fair last Friday

He was nomming on a corndog --- oops! No more corndogs for him! He looked haggard, but he always looks haggard.

Get Well, Home Grown Democrat!

[Sal Minella]

18. I think corn dogs are not the problem.

I think it's living in the same state as Tim Pawlenty, Michelle Bachman, and Norm Coleman. The man has certain sensibilities.

(from a charter member of P.O.E.M. - Professional Organization of English Majors).

I think he'll be fine. He just needs some ketchup.

21. On a powdermilk biscuit

15. Speedy recovery

'Homegrown Democrat'.

[Liberal In Texas]

16. Garrison is a living national treasure. Get well and stay off the corn dogs

big guy!

[Triana]

20. Oh crap. I hope he's OK! n/t

[aikoaiko]

22. I've dreaded this day......

... I hope this day can still be postponed for many years to come.

[Walk away]

23. Dear Garrison, Please get well soon. How will we find Lake Woebegone without you?

We need you back as soon as you are ready. And thank you for taking us with you to a kinder and funnier place.

[mdmc]

24. Prayers on the way

good old Catholic prayers at that!

[Sal Minella]

25. Father Emil will be happy to assist if you like, I'm sure.

One of my favorite Lake Wobegon tidbits is Father Emil's annual talk to the young people of the parish about premarital pregnancy -- "If you didn't want to go to Minneapolis, then why did you get on the train?"

[KittyWampus]

26. OH NO! Oh, Garrison, please get well. Take good care of yourself. We love you.
