'The News from Lake Wobegon'

No news, just questions from the audience. GK learned to be a good liar as a child. For this essay, he decided to truthfully answer questions about LW. The secret in Powdermilk Biscuits is old rough mill stones which let the dirt come through. Senator K's relationship with the lady from Maine, especially if her 30-year old son will ever leave home. Wally Old Hard Hands Bunsen played a bit for the Chicago Cubs. GK is not reading Jack's letters because he is behind in his payments. The story of GK's aunt who went to Alaska is still not resolved. GK has forgotten the story of Luke the mouse. There are no snow leopards in LW. Catholics know more about sex than Lutherans. There are no back-sliding Baptists in LW. GK's first dates in LW.
