R.I.P. NPR???

Sure hope not! 

There's a bill in congress to abolish funding for NPR.  Guess the Republicans think this is going to make a HUGE dent in the national debt.  Wonder if they'd do the same if  FOX News was funded by the government?

I guess cuts everywhere are needed, but I'm sure there are more "pork barrel" projects that are being overlooked, because someone has their political eye on it, and NPR does none of them any good.  Just reports the truth, as accurately, and unbiased as possible.  A novel idea, to be sure.

So all you who send in pledges better step it up, if you want to hear some of the more interesting programs on the radio today.  It really is a pleasant diversion to that rock and roll from the 60s, 70s, and occasionally 80s, that they play over and over.  Unfortunately it's the same 10 songs over and over and over.  Ever wonder how many songs Jimi Hendrix actually performed, but all we ever hear is "Red House," over and over and over...

I'd better get that pledge check in the mail before the end of Day 107!
