Garrison Keillor VS MNspeak: The Final Conflict

There's a guy on Minnesota public radio named Garrison Keillor who has ordered one of his stable of lawyer-horses to ride out on the prairie to rustle a pesky blogger who made a satiric T-shirt that Garr deemed infringement.

Mistah Keillor's lawyer sent MNspeak a cease and desist order via alternative postal service WASTE. This is the deal: Keillor runs an entertainment radio web empire called Prairie Home Companion. MNspeak made a T-shirt that says, Prairie Ho Companion. No big deal, right? That's legal. It's a parody? Wrong according to Garr.

So a legal fight over watering rights could be in store. If so Blottered will be there waving, sitting
in plastic bubbles that admit no viruses, with decontaminated Blottered groupies in our laps!

MNspeak wants to know if anyone knows a lawyer who has a taste for raw prairie dog.

"I am starting to talk to lawyers about my options, and am filing a report with the ACLU this week. But since this site makes minimal money, I have no plans to pay for legal assistance -- if anyone knows a young sparky first amendment lawyer who wants to investigate a potentially high-profile case (on a pro bono basis), email me at rex@mnspeak.com."

He got the bloggin' prairie blues,
all up in his eyes, down under tear ducts
fallin out like semaphore,
lain in the mud and smoked like a cheroot

Comments:
I'd heartily suggest Ron
Rosenbaum, the really great
lawyer who just happens to
be on KSTP-AM. His new time
starts at Noon after New
Year's. Ron Meshbesher will take on clients like you who hunger and thirst after justice as well. Don't let Garr get away with his arrogant crap!
