Geese, God and the American people

Garrison Keillor once wrote, "It is more worthy in the eyes of God and better for us as a people if a writer make three pages sharp and funny about the lives of geese than to make three hundred fat and flabby about God or the American people."

I will try, as I always do, to continue writing fat and flabby words about geese, God and the American people.

I think this is a great modern paraphrase of the Magnificat. Particularly Luke 1:53: "He has filled the hungry with good things"

Also perhaps a fulfillment of the beatitudes, Luke 6:21: "Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you shall be satisfied."


Or maybe this is a case of Things being filled with good hungry.
