Good riddance. I don't know what was more offensive; her dark ages politics, and contempt for American principles; or that they had the gall to spend our tax money to assault our ears with her unbearable voice for so many years.

See? 2016 truly is a great year.  =)

I've never heard of her.  I suspect that is a good thing.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

I have, but I never listened long enough to know he opinions or political leanings.  I can not stand to listen to her voice.

I have.   NPR talk radio personality.

One show worth looking up is this one http://thedianerehmshow.org/shows/1999-11-03/gun-owners-rights.   Diane talks to Larry Pratt and some state level gun rights folks.  She ends up almost sputtering.

She had or has some medical problem that affected her voice.  I don't mind that.  Her voice reminds me somewhat of what I remember of my grandmother's voice.

"NPR" ... That's an acronym for "No Particular Relevance," correct?
