Just 'casue you put lipstick on a pig, it's still a pig.

Just 'cause NPR calls it underwriting, doesn't mean its not an ad.

"KUSC-FM (91.5) relies on underwriting — those on-air blurbs saying, "this program is being brought to you by" so-and-so — for 18% of its income..."

Flaming barbra streisand!! Another example of the neocommies corrupting our language for their purposes! Those are COMMERCIALS!!! And, no matter how many times these lefties claim to be "non-commercial," they are lying. Any message of sponsorship whether for yourself (the endless fundraisers) or for someone else is a COMMERCIAL!!!

So now they get tax money, solicit members, run commercials and now have Clear Channel doing the bulk of their fundraising...also paid for by the taxpayer.

Hear the music?

KUSC is one the the very few all-classical music format radio stations in southern California. If this helps keep them on the air, fine. Especially since Clear Channel is one of the good guys.

PULL THE PLUG, BABY! IT'S TIME FOR BIG BIRD TO COME OUT OF THE CLOSET AND LEARN TO FLY.

P.S. My offspring have never even seen 'Sesame Street.' Aren't I a mean one?
