Further Evidence of Our Influential Readership

Let's add Garrison Keillor to the big list. As attentive readers must have noticed, a few days ago I compared discrimination against gay people to discrimination against green-eyed people. Now here's Garrison Keillor, trying to explain his way out of an article that offended some people:
I live in a small world - the world of entertainment, musicians, writers - in which gayness is as common as having brown eyes.

I'm not sure if you think you're clever, Mr. Keillor, but changing the color from green to brown doesn't fool me, and I doubt it fools my legions of readers. You owe me, and don't try to deny it. Thanks for reading us, but plagiarism isn't really acceptable. Perhaps if you mentioned Stain Club on "A Prairie Home Companion" we could call it even, but only if I see a large spike in our Midwest readership. Or you could just Pay Us To Live.
