Cary Tennis

Salon's advice columnist, Cary Tennis, is the Garrison Keillor of the next generation. Today he writes about his penchant for telling long, rambling, stories:

I cannot stand the silence, and I don't really care, so I fill it with junk, like an old redneck pulling up to the rock pit with a truck full of couches.

His column is worth the price of the annual Salon.com subscription; what a potent antidote to the daily newspaper advice crap.
