The Double Bind of Truth and Self Deception in Life
A reflective, ironic meditation on honesty and self delusion. The narrator weighs lying to others and oneself about talents and failures, the pull of convenient falsehoods, and the value of candid friendship. It ends mid thought with a jarring example of confession after a crime.

The setting sun on a restless American mood
The narrator reflects on mood swings and a tight job market fueling anxiety about money. A man drives toward the sunset as his wife suggests navigation, while the nation’s drama—the Arctic melt and Iraq, democracy, and a symbolic SUV led by whimsy—echoes in the background. Garrison Keillor’s Prairie Home Companion airs Saturday nights on public radio, including KANU.
