N.P.R. has it's heart in the right place, but holy hell does it suck.

i fuckin lost it at the scream singing

Seriously, if you are having trouble scraping together the 28 cents, let me know. I will pay it for you to keep you out of jail.

[Anstarra]

I agree with you. NPR would be fine without government funding.

But are you seriously saying that you would like to pay all of your taxes except for the 28 cents that goes to NPR? I am not making that up -- that is the exact amount per American that went to NPR in 2012.

Meanwhile, $117.15 per American went directly to Lockheed Martin. One company. Just a slice of the defense budget costs more than the pre-natal vitamins needed to prevent birth defects for 47 American women.

You can have a fascist police state with a balanced budget and relatively low taxes. Cops, surveillance, military, border walls, clandestine agencies; all these things are technically cheaper than Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, public education, student loans and unemployment assistance, and they're all catnip for conservatives (as long as it's a Republican in the White House, of course).

"Big government" isn't always about high expenditures.

The Tibetian practice of scream singing rightfully died out in the 4th century BC but, two Berkeley trust fund students have revived it and here's a forty minute sample...

Genius

Conservatism might be about lower taxes, but AM radio conservatives are very much "racist fascist douchebags".

[tho2ea]

Racist fascist douchebags? I thought conservatism was about wanting less taxes...you people need to seriously unclench



[tho2ea]

This is just a bit, more about the alternative to NPR, Npr doesnt shout at you like most of the other shows...funny bit but nothing wrong with NPR format

[neanderslob]

Amazing.  I listen to NPR constantly but it's so true.
