DC Tom Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I think you found your new conner He's not quite there yet. But I have no doubt that through relentless abuse and mockery I can drive him into a fit of apoplexy and ultimately lead him to achieve the full !@#$tardedly Sheentastic connerific potential I know he has.

Gene Frenkle Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Take it from this partisan hack who recently received the coveted Geno Frenkle Slam-Wow Partisan Hack Seal of ApprovalTM: when you defend one party, and then attempt to disparage the other party by linking to a seven-year-old story about a sexual harrassment suit as if the lawsuit just happened, or at the very least, was still on-going, you're a partisan hack. Now, I'm not sure if this qualifies you for the official Geno Frenkle Slam-Wow Partisan Hack Seal of ApprovalTM, but keep trying and I'll put in a good word with Geno. Wow, I really got under your skin with that one, huh? I've been thinking about it and I think I'm probably being a dick. I apologize for the personal attack, for whatever it's worth.

Keukasmallies Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 NPR and other low hanging fruit do present opportunities to slash government waste, but to fix the budget the decision makers need to go where the big time expenditures are in the budget: Man up, make some changes in Social Security, fix/simplify the tax codes, cut some of the long-standing entitlement programs. Make personnel cuts, examine defense spending, cut back on foreign aid payments, do some things that will have a long-term impact. But, the no-cajones legislators we continue to elect have only self-preservation fixed in their sights, so we'll all B word and moan through another budget cycle....

Magox Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 The deal with NPR is largely symbolic, having said that they do push liberal views and they do accept a very meager sum of public funds, and as little as it may be, it still is tax payer money and probably should be slashed. WHat's the big deal? I'm sure NPR can find some rich lefty donor to compensate the difference. If I were them, I'd rather go this route to stop being the target of all the right radio and tv "personalities". Too much negative attention vs. the reward in taxpayer money.

Much of the programming that NPR produces lends itself to academic types who are stereotypically liberal. For example, if you're looking for science news with a conservative bent, well, good luck. I understand where you're coming from, though, and I'm sure NPR wouldn't have a very hard time finding private funding. It's not like we're going balance the budget by cutting funding to NPR, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't they turn to some of their rich lefty pals in Hollywood? Natural allies I would think. NPR's huge listener base would be perfect to push their ****ty movies to.

Exactly, they fart around on NPR whose federal funding of $90MM is about 1/2th the annual interest expense financing the US military budget of more than $500 billion.

My point was that it would be difficult to find conservative hosts for many of the types of shows NPR produces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ieatcrayonz Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 A guy with hair can't shave his head? Sure but it doesn't grow back that fast and your more recent photo has pretty long "hair". There is nothing wrong with being bald. Own it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Own it. You would be right to be suspicious if the old photo were newer than the new photo. Someone want to explain again how NPR isn't biased? NPR is no more biased as any network or cable news network, which isn't saying much. Of course the rub is that it's publicly-funded, which I already said probably shouldn't be the case. I feel worst for all the conservative academics and science proponents who are being held down by George Soros and his hollywood pals with all of their ****ty movies. That's what we should really be focusing on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats true but it's not so much about the funding and more about NPR believing that getting government funding gives them the moral high ground over their competition. Face it, NPR is better than you and me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
