   Or firearms. Or NASCAR. Or freedom…State Radio – here to give you what the State determines that YOU need.

   May your chains lie light upon you and may history forget that you were descended from free men.

   Considering Rat’s contempt for everyone other than himself, his claiming to be one of the “commoners” makes him almost hypocritical enough to get a job with Faux News Channel. Is his first name Glenn, by any chance?

   Rat claims to hate stupid people yet at the same time speaks the anti-intellectual clap trap that infests so much of the American landscape.

   so people don’t like the idea that NPR is funded by the government… okay i can respect that … what do they think of radio free Europe? also funded by the US government, maybe a bunch of communist sympathizers?

   I haven’t heard OPB (our local NPR branch) sing the horst wessel lied or the bolshevik anthem yet, but it won’t be long at the rate they are going. Revisionist history has replaced most history in the last two years. I used to really enjoy their programming, but Communist/nazi programming stinks.

   Back in the 1980s, I’d listen to Soviet radio just to see what gunk they were pushing. It’s distressing how much NPR and a number of newspapers are like that. Ouchie.

   Rat is a very special commoner.

   If you have a short-wave radio the broadcasts from Cuba are good for a laugh.

    Shouldn’t that be a white wine? I guess a rosé is close enough!

    @PeabodyMartini and since when does Intellectualism equate to Intelligence. One group is arrogrant pretentious self-righteous trash, the other just plain old intelligent. Rat has his problems, but he’s correct here. and with a name like “Peabody Martini” keep yourself locked up in your tower so that you can look at the rest of us as “stupid” your words.

    Just like Seth McFarlane’s closest character is Brain Griffin in “Family Guy”, Pastis has already admitted that ‘Rat’ is the character closest to who he is. I’m liking Pastis line of thought here.

    @SherlockWatson, another braindead idiot. “Faux News” has opinions, and so does MSNBC. Those shows within the two channels are editorials. Just because Fox News have editorials that run contrary to what you believe doesn’t make it fake news. Or do you think your clever with the wordplay?

    @Ray Cov

    You’re = contraction for “you are.” But then when one begins foaming at the mouth, the niceties of grammar just fly out the window I guess.

    If NPR is government-funded, why the endless fundraisers?
