No, these are people in the local stations, doing announcements, fund drives, yada yada. Every state I’ve ever lived in and listened to NTSLR had at least one Brit in the booth. I guess they think that gives them an “international” flavor or something. Excuse me – “flavour”.

I don’t think those are immigrants, are they, Enas? I think when they don’t have programming scheduled, NPR just switches over to BBC World Service.

Whoa, you don’t know about “Car Talk”???! OK, it’s one of the most popular NPR (NTSLR) shows of all. It’s a weekly show that has two brothers (Tom and Ray) that talk about cars, car repairs, and other car related stuff with callers. They’ve been at it for about 20 years and they’re really funny. They’re on at 10:00 am on Saturday mornings here, check your local listings.

Here’s their website: Car Talk.

Enas: What’s “Car Talk” about?

The only thing worth listening to on National Taxpayer Subsidized Liberal Radio is “Car Talk”. Hell, I’m more than half convinced the only reason NTSLR even exists is to give British immigrants radio jobs in the U.S.

You know, for a while I kind of championed the toilet-enabler guy. I mean, show me a law that says an adult must report other adults that sit on the shitter for an extended period of time. You don’t have to report alcoholics, do you? They are harming themselves… aren’t they?

But exposing yourself to kids? Uh, sorry, do not pass GO, do not collect $200, and please do become a cell-mate/teddy-bear for a big 350 lb sweaty guy named Bubba who cries himself to sleep every night.

I had to look up “xenophile”. Huh… … …

Why couldn’t they just say “kiss-ass foreigner-luvin’ groupie” instead of a fancy five-dollar word?

I make it a point to listen to NPR every day. And yes, occasionally in between bouts of xenophilism they put on a decent topic, but not often enough, I listen not because I enjoy it (actually I apply a dramamine patch to quell the nausea) but I believe in the saying “Know thine enemy”.

Brrr….I just got a summons for jury duty….during the week I’m going to be out-of-town for vacation. I can submit a request to be excused in writing but it doesn’t guarantee I will be.
They can’t make you change your vacation for jury duty, can they?

Okay, so Rhode Island is cracking down on illegal immigrants. We're in the shitter economically and our real problems are corruption and unions, but okay. Illegal immigration is a strain, too. So get this quote:

Carcieri was testy when taking questions after signing the order. When a reporter asked if his order might embolden xenophobes, Carcieri blamed the media for inflaming the immigration debate.

"Embolden xenophobes"? Who the fuck talks like that? Nobody, that's who. You just know the reporter said something like "encourage racists" and Carcieri snapped back something like, "no, you guys are pushing that idea." Emboldens xenophobes! Pff! I bet Carcieri did get testy, too. He does testy real well. He's about the only political bright spot in the whole damn state.

Wasn’t Kansas (and the rest of the US and most of the world) turned to ash in 1983 though? I saw it in a documentary. Steve Gutenberg was in it. Now I’m confused.
