Aloha, I have a problem with Garrison Keillor as a recipient. I have only seen him live once--when PHC was done in Honolulu--but have listened to the show for years, and now turn the volume down for both Lake Woebegone and Guy Noire. Although I have never heard him actually say it, Keillor seems more and more taken with himself as an incarnation of Twain, and taken with himself in general. That said, it must be difficult for the committee to select each year's winner, as no one can come near matching the original namesake. Of the so far unanointed, perhaps George Carlin comes closest to actually thinking through his humor to make a point, rather than just saying something funny. And there's always CarrotTop ...
