Garage Illogic - My friends

Garage Illogic - My friends assume that, because I am a conservative, pragmatic Republican, I must love Joe Soucheray's Garage Logic, on KSTP-AM. Well, I used to work with Joe, and his show is occasionally side-splittingly funny, and his skewering of Minnesota's obsessive political correctness is usually dead-on.

But I want to leap through the radio and swim back down the phone lines and throttle some of the so-called "garage logicians".

Many of them punctuate their phone calls with incessant calls for "personal responsibility", as Soucheray keeps finding "the Mystery" under more and more rocks. And I'd like to ask them this:

If a Garage Logician hears someone saying "We need to protect our communities from from angry European Males, who want to take away our handouts and oppress us", they're trained well enough to know who they're dealing with - a Euphorian! But ask yourself this: If you replace "our communities" with "Garage Logic", replace "Angry European Males" with "Euphorians", substitute "handouts" with "roads", and finally replace "oppress" with "inflict The Mystery on", who are you describing?

Different language, same whininess, same desire to fob their problems off on the actions of others.

Good luck.
