The runner up though, is Africa, where the bungling isn't even Keystone Kops quality. Life is cheap and tragedy is generic.<BR/><BR/>Mytwords, many thanks for sorting out this intentional tangle of deceptively-edited NPR meddle-talk. I have to confess, all the 'explanatory' and 'interpretive' NPR-speak that supposedly provides a digestible package for the listener not only disgusts me, it dizzys me up. Clarity is not the point here. I detect undertones of cooperation with covert agencies. Gwen Thompkins surely moonlights for CIA or more shadowy organizations, then covers up with her jazz-lite funnybone features from the quirky corners of the dark continent.<BR/><BR/>More and more, I'm hearing this authoritative kind of talk on NPR, which purports to summarize murky situations throughout the world. Again, I'm talking about the generalized bridge-talk that we're all very aware of. Who exactly ARE these NPR people to speak so authoritatively and condescendingly? All part of Cheney's 'Dark Side'. NPR is no doubt more than enthusiastic to be a player in this drama. It gets darker and darker.Porter Melmothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11473990960543501439noreply@blogger.com
