no love for NPR here. Only good reason for NPR, to listen to before picking up hippie chicks in coffee shops, or to get some sort of self satisfaction for driving your POS lithium packed, strip mined, barely better mileage than a Civic, Prius. BUY A BIKE YOU STUPID SELF SATISFIED JERK!

(should this go in the pet peeves thread?)

I like Prairie Home Companion and Wait Wait Don't Tell Me and Science Friday.

I like Prairie Home Companion and Wait Wait Don't Tell Me and Science Friday.

NO YOU DON'T!

but seriously, those shows are entertaining, I'm talking when they try to get serious about politics or news.

I like Prairie Home Companion and Wait Wait Don't Tell Me and Science Friday.

I can't STAND Garrison Keillor ... he comes off to me as a condescending elitist/leftist schmuck ... like he sees "common folk" as an odd curiosity to be lampooned and profited from (and ultimately controlled by urbane elites like himself).

Wait Wait Don't Tell Me is more obvious in its leftist politics ... but I find it much more enjoyable (same with Car Talk).

But frankly all these shows on NPR and PBS that people actually like will draw sponsor dollars and keep these media outlets afloat so they don't really NEED to steal money from me to fund the ones I don't like.

I beg to differ. He should feel safe and secure that "gun-toting Americans" exist.

To quote from Col Nathan Jessep (Jack Nocholson's character in A Few Good Men)

Son, we live in a world that has walls. And those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who’s gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg?...

And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives…You don’t want the truth. Because deep down, in places you don’t talk about at parties, you want me on that wall. You need me on that wall.

Just sayin'.

Both people in that video resigned, one of them before the video even hit the public. It was the very first thing I heard on NPR today when my alarm clock went off.
