I'm waiting for this shit storm to turn on rap lyrics.........
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

Re: Celebrity Sexual Harassment Charge Sheet
Anyone have any detail on the Garrison Keillor allegations?
Those who don't know, Garrison Keillor hosted A Prairie Home Companion on National Public Radio for decades. He was a much loved NPR figure.
he was recently jettisoned from NPR over improper conduct allegations. The only thing they've publicized is this thing where he supposedly put his hand on a woman's back, and she was wearing an open backed shirt of some kind and his hand slid six inches up her back a bit. She protested at the time, and he apologized at the time. He apparently wrote to her to express his apology for touching her back, and she told him not to worry about it. He heard nothing about it until her lawyer called. That's what he says. Apparently, he says it wasn't sexual in any way from his perspective, and this is the only incident involving him.
But, he's fired, and all his shows are canceled, and his whole career is gone. I find it hard to believe a career is done over a touch on the back. There must be more to it that I have not seen. Anyone know?
