Listen
Garrison Keillor: Bertha's Kitty Boutique reminds you that heating bills are going to be high this winter and on these cold winter nights, there's nothing more comforting than a warm cat. (PURRING) And if one cat can warm you up, think of what 6, or 10 of 'em could do.
These are skinny designer cats, these are big heater cats (MEOW) who use tuna for fuel and produce enough BTUs to heat up your whole bed and your bedroom too. And we have them in all styles to go with your bedroom décor — tabby cats, angora, Siamese, orange cats, black cats — anywhere from 30 pounders up to the family size.
Heater cats from Bertha's (MEOW) Hurry in while supplies last.

A national holiday in Lake Wobegon is always gaudy and joyful. But what is going on between Clint Bunsen and Miss Liberty?
Everyone is here—Pastor Ingqvist, the Sons of Knute, Sister Arvonne of Our Lady of Perpetual Responsibility and her ocarina band, the Norwegian bachelor farmers, Dorothy and the Chatterbox Café, Wally in the Sidetrack Tap—as crowds converge on the little town to celebrate American independence, even as the chairman of the event broods on the great question of the day: Shall we struggle on valiantly here or shall we burst the bonds and find beautiful life in the golden west?
