    for the record I love NPR. Especially the This American Life and Radio Lab and planet money…programs. You all must check it out. Especially on your 6 hour drives to the mountains (maybe that is just my former self talking). But why in Gods name is my tax money going to pay for it? To be honest, I don’t even mind the lefties…There is some damn fine programming. Oh and their music website is absolutely amazing!

    We have one in our family’s wisconsin cabin…I hate its space saving guts.

    It always turns off unless there is a serious demand…the shower goes from boiling hot to freezing in less than a second. I have to turn on two sinks at full blast to make it stay on. maybe ours is crappy, but I am overall not impressed.

    Brian,

    You are a stich…seriously moral high ground…are you kidding me?

    This is politics not paddy cake.

    Buck up, and revel in the childish nature of it all. I dare you to read a little history. Our politics today are so boring compared to the intrigue of yesteryear.

    BTW. Alan in fallbrook (you are a history buff right?) I just read a great book. Water and Power, it is about the raping of the owens valley. Now that is politics of the sort we need history books to remind us of.

    Personally, I applaud this sort of journalism…the more transparency for those suckling at the public teet the better. On both sides. Now if only they would focus on the banksters…not the inconsequential.

    The reason is quite simple. NPR is trying to keep its free money. Anything that could be used against them in the case of removing their funding will qualify as a terminable offense. Conservatives are not shocked/offended, but they would like to remove the tax payer funding of liberal editorializing, and they will use NPR’s own words to hang the organization. I think it has very little to do with offense. If your employee jeopardized your free money, you would can her too.
