From 1999 to 2004-ish, I was one of the contributing writers for Garrison Keillor's renowned radio show "A Prairie Home Companion." I learned a lot of things there, mostly how to spell 'prairie." It was a solid gig and I'm proud of my work there. But, like any other job, there were...things...
There was a time when we could send presidents to England and not get embarrassed to death. But also, there was a time when we could send George W. Bush to England and hope for the best. He was there in November of 2003 and PHC had a great impression of him on the roster, so it was something I would pull out once in a while. With a weekly show and you have to look to the news for any idea to build a sketch around. It's a quick, goofy bit with the "Brits have different words for stuff" trope thrown in. Nothing too deep here, just playing W has a good-natured knucklehead. Didn't make the cut.
