Here, with great heart, supple wit, and a dash of anger, Garrison Keillor describes the simple democratic values-the Golden Rule, the obligation to defend the weak against the powerful, and others- that define his hard-working Midwestern neighbors and that today's Republicans seem determined to subvert. A reminiscence, a political tract, and a humorous meditation, \u003ci\u003eHomegrown Democrat\u003c\/i\u003e is an entertaining, refreshing addition to today's rancorous political debate. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e * A \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestseller\u003cbr\u003e * Updated and revised with a new introduction for the 2006 midterm elections\u003cbr\u003e * A Featured Alternate Selection of the Book-of-the-Month Club\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Garrison Keillor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.10h x 5.10w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143037682\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCommonweal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2006 pg. 23\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGarrison Keillor, author of nearly a dozen books, is founder and host of the acclaimed radio show \u003cb\u003eA Prairie Home Companion\u003c\/b\u003e and the daily program \u003cb\u003eThe Writer's Almanac\u003c\/b\u003e.
