(clear throat and holds nose).... "Support for NPR comes fruuuummmm... PepsiCo, makers of Aquafina - a purified bottled water for daily hydration needs."
That one cracked me up back in the day (how does one "make" water anyway?) - had to post it just for posterity's sake.
Enjoy the weekend! Got NOW & Moyers on tonight! Parrrty!
Oh, anyone catch the "The Annoying Scott Simon Guffawing to Annoying Music Show" segment this morning? Nice(?) periodic diversion to what should REALLY be reported on. (sorry, hate being a gossip)
Indeed, the SS let loose, but at least he didn't cry for 'mercy'. Now that he's hopscotching his way through his show more than ever, like a kid surrounded by shiny objects, the limpness of his performance has increased multifold. His energy fading, his banality coming into full flower, he's the one Neocon Public Radio personality who's virtually withering before our ears. How long before he gets dumped? Bets, anyone? When it happens, he won't have the faintest inkling at to why.
Thanks, big!pink!, for the bullseye James 'Light-In-The-Wilderness' Wolcott quote yesterday. JW is always a pleasure.
I'm not a betting bunny in that regard, Porter. It is my belief that e(M)PtyR rewards lameness anymore; it's the "revolutionaries" that are given the axe (Bob E being the closest fit to that description?).
My name is Matthew Murrey and I'm from Florida, but have been living in the Midwest since 1984. I started this blog because no one else was blogging NPR's drift toward the right - and it made more sense than yelling at the radio.
"Q Tips" is an open thread post where you can place general comments or brief notes about NPR.

I make every effort not to interfere with comments - BUT I will generally delete violent, gratuitously vulgar, or obscene posts. I realize it can be a subjective judgment call. Even when you're really angry, try to play nice.

Well, AquaFina admits they get it from the tap, just like po' folk.
Yep, caught that little tidbit.
