Because I've clipped back my Neocon Public Relations radioactive exposure, my personal spirits have risen, but I see that NPR's immediate agenda is to fasten itself more and more securely to the corporate matrix. Why else would a media outlet hitch itself to a lame duck administration so fully? Huge decisions have obviously been made in high places. We can imagine 'the world is a corporation' conversations (reminiscent of 'Network' (1976)) that have transpired on the upper floors of NPR HQ. Vast sums are being poured into NPR for the job ahead. Loyalty oaths are probably mandatory. The on-air personalities are the mere foot soldiers in the cause, and man, are they busting butt to please.<BR/><BR/>BRANDING. Yeah, I heard that bit. Such slop must be balm to the insipid minds of NPR. I found it to be a withering, soul-destroying experience. Plus, it was just plain terrible show biz.<BR/><BR/>DON GONORRHEA. His patriotic devotion to Dubya! It had to happen. Don spent a lot of time on his knees to get the presidential gig. A big step up from Dee-troit. Mustn't offend The Decider. I never could stand Don, especially for that hesitant way he used to do his delivery. (Used to; like Dubya, Don can be trained...) I felt like a guy in an old Jerry Lewis film who screamed, 'Who the hell told him to TALK????!!!'<BR/><BR/>I'd better leave off there. As I write, all are now bowing down in DC to hail the conquering hero. Did you hear? Petraeus comes! He enters the Capitol, citizens! Hail! Tidings of Victory in our Eastern Provinces! Oh, where is Iran, General?

My god, if anyone has any doubts how far NPR is up the chimperor's ass, they need wonder no further. So Dana Perino calls to meet him at a Starbucks to tell him to get ready for the Iraq trip. Tells him he can tell someone at NPR (but only in person), and his wife. His daughter later gets angry that she was left out of the loop, but "forgives him." What I want to know is, when the Stasi got children to secretly rat out their parents in East Germany, did they go along as willingly?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27644679.post-28543815675089714882007-09-09T17:03:00.000-05:002007-09-09T17:03:00.000-05:00thanks for the reminder!thanks for the reminder!Mytwordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04307620268159811668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27644679.post-4806435949043874472007-09-09T14:14:00.000-05:002007-09-09T14:14:00.000-05:00I just came upon your site and expect to be a regu...I just came upon your site and expect to be a regular reader, but after a quick first scan, I feel the need to remind you that "it's" equals "it is".<BR/><BR/>cf:<BR/>Chimptacular:<BR/>(all it's title lacks is a comma!)<BR/><BR/>Branding:<BR/>to go with it's theme music <BR/><BR/>ThanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
