Some readers and contributors here find trouble with statements like that. That is how the Wausau Daily Herald labeled the Keillor column that I have the link below from. The Chicago Tribune labeled it Unreality is the current reality. I wish Keillor were right, he ends by saying eventually we will wake up. I wish I had that much faith.

While I was reading this column I was thinking of one reader/contributor in particular who takes great offense when I say that logic is illogical. Of course logic is logic and illogical thoughts are illogical. I was assuming one could assume that I was talking about reality, not the fantasy world where one would assume that we as humans would function logically.

Keillor says in the column basically that the Republicans would be laughed out of town for being totally illogical. He says that their ideas make "perfect sense if you're a shut-in and your TV is locked on Fox New, but not if you are ambulatory and able to read English."

Honest, I would have to agree, but that assumes that you use your mobility to see, feel, think. Not that you are unable to read, but you do, and you are interested in what is going on and why. Unfortunately that is not the case. Keillor is using fighting words, riling up the right and even the center by suggesting they can not read, observe and think. The catch is they can, they know it, they think Keillor is insulting them and ignoring him as a liberal kook. But the reality is it would be illogical to assume that they will think logically.
