knapplc Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Read the whole thing. Mr. Keillor is a very good writer, and the final paragraph features Nebraska. Good luck in NebraskaThis election is winding down, thank heaven, and barring a bombshell backstage video in which Hillary is heard talking about how she loves to stroll into a men's room and let out a whoop and yank the waistbands of men at the urinals and yell "Snuggies!" the outcome is in sight, and finally we'll be done with Nate Silver and Politico and RealClearPolitics and the ranting and raving on YouTube and the borderline psycho posts on Facebook by people we wish we weren't related to, and we can get back to real life.The bitterness of it has been exhausting. The "issues" were piffle and mishegoss, there was zero illumination, the election was all about hostility. The ugly billionaire nitwit versus the Babylonian anti-Christ. The Trumpites stuck with him despite his hopelessness because his candidacy gave The New York Times fits, and the Hillareans stuck with her because the alternative was him.So here we are, loathing each other. Too bad, but we are a righteous people and we need to have someone to loathe. 3 Link to comment
Guy Chamberlin Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 If Trump is polling two to one in Nebraska, how come he trends just the opposite on a Nebraska football fansite? Link to comment

ColoNoCoHusker Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Holy cow, $150k for a 3BR in Broken Bow... When did the housing market there take off? Last I checked you could a 5BR for just over $100K. #ruralproblems Link to comment
TGHusker Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Garrison does write some good opinion pieces. Yes we'll get back to real life soon and wonder if our beloved Huskers will make the CCG and end the season in the top 25. "Pass the turkey please" - it cannot happen soon enough. Link to comment
TAKODA Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 +1 Enjoyed the read with the exception of the comment "Next spring, the 2020 campaign will begin" WTF? There is something seriously wrong with our political process. Link to comment
