For another episode in the amusing adventures of creeping commercialism in public radio, see how one young satirist who printed up T-shirts joking about “A Prairie Ho Companion” quickly got squished by the legal team of Garrison Keillor, the pompous national treasure of precious liberals.

Keillor wouldn’t want some guy selling ten T-shirts out of his house to get in the way of his merchandising machine. Listen to the precious liberal show on the taxpayer-funded NPR station, and then stuff the host’s precious pockets by buying the T-shirts, the mugs, the paperweights, the CDs, the DVDs, the children’s books, the jewelry, the Swedish soaps, and don’t forget the Martin Luther Bobblehead.

PS: In case you’re not sure Keillor’s liberal, see this piece from In These Times from last year, including the line: “Republicans: The No.1 reason the rest of the world thinks we’re deaf, dumb and dangerous.”
