NPR President - "Our Listeners Are Smarter"

[Ben]

Maybe at stating the obvious, as in her last paragraph, where Ms Obvious states the obvious. Otherwise, in comparison to her example of NPR listeners discussing balloon boy, I see discussions here that would make her brain hurt. :)

Actually, according to Rush some time back, a survey of his listeners seemed to indicate his listeners are smarter, more educated, and better all around folks.

If NPR's are more intelligent, then certainly they can figure out a way to keep public radio (and TV) running without taxpayer money.

"If defunding to public broadcasting were to occur, it would be devastating to public broadcasting," Schiller added. "That's a fact."

so they're listeners are smarter, but they listen to a news source that has trouble with the English language.

Genesis, Get 'em Out By Friday

This is an announcement from genetic control:
It is my sad duty to inform you of a four foot restriction on
Humanoid height.

Extract from coversation of joe ordinary in local puborama:
I hear the directors of genetic control have been buying all the
Properties that have recently been sold, taking risks oh so bold.
Its said now that people will be shorter in height,
They can fit twice as many in the same building site.
(they say its alright),

Churchill:  Nancy, if I were your husband, I would drink it.

Where have all the high-quality acid wits gone?  After Churchill and Mencken bit the dust, there has been a decided dearth of scathing remarks. 

[sanglant]

i doubt you want to know this, but you asked.






i worked with a college professor(he worked with kids in k-12 and students going to college to teach), way back when i was in middle/high school.

it was his firm belief(and mine now that i have friends/family with kids in K-12) that we were medicating the brighter kids into submission.



sorry about ruining your day.
