I get so tired of NPR only making fun of Republicans, and never making fun of Democrats!
I listen to NPR rarely--maybe Whad Ya Know?, and even then the liberal "humor" can be a bit much. (Maureen Loud
was on there recently--yuck.) Speaking of NPR stations
(or similar ones):
--on a folk show on an NPR station (locally produced):
"some music to brighten you up, perhaps, on this sad
day for our country"--the DJ, referring to the fact
the Clinton had been impeached earlier that day.
On another folk show on a non-commercial station, a folk
group was live in the studio and they prefaced one of their songs by telling of how "we wrote this after someone was nice enough to give us a copy of 'Dude, Where's my
Country?' by Michael Moore, for Christmas." They go on
to sing a song about "thieves" in "the House that
was White". Gag me!
Harry Shearer's "Le Show" airs on many NPR stations. It can be funny at times (he'll probably soon do another
media satire with "Brother Rather" and "Brother
Wallace") but he is definitely a big lefty. (Frequently
bites that hand that feeds him, too, savaging his
employer ("Simpsons") Rupert Murdoch.)
You remain one of my favorite posters of all for your always excellent and on-target analyses of just about any subject under the sun.
I still find him more effective than chloroform ...
"Well, this week in Lake Woebeg ...."
ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Something about the voice, I guess.
Spot on, Swiss.
HAHAHA Nailed it.
I'm so pretty!
I'm so pretty!
First time I heard that clown, my skin crawled. And that was before he deep-ended. If you tried to manufacture a more pretentious person, you couldn't come close.
And his fake-hominess is so sickening. An elitist trying to sound like a farm boy. Kind of like listening to sports on NPR, though infinitely worse.
