The Off Topic Topic

Very.  I've only heard one reporter briefly pop a partisan boner on air in the last 10 years or so.  Coverage, guests, etc. all seem very balanced.

I think so, as well, but I'm somewhat left-leaning, so I wasn't sure if I thought it was because of that, or if it really was. I like that I get to hear the Republican side of things without all the crazy stuff that tends to hit other news sources. It's probably why I consider myself center to center-left rather than Democrat. I find that I agree with a lot of what the Republicans on NPR say.

I once listened to NPR 3 hours straight in a psychologist's waiting room. Talk about torture.

You probably have very little idea what my political leaning is. You focus on the parts that you disagree with, and ignore the times that I agree with you. If anything, the way that arguments are handled on Languish have probably made me seem quite a bit more "left-leaning" than I actually am. People are too busy pushing their point to actually listen to what's being said.

But then, I gave up a long time ago. Languish(tm) decides who and what a person is, and any information to the contrary is hypocrisy/ignorance/etc. *shrugs*

You're a woman; dertraditionalgenderroles thinks you're not supposed to have any political leanings.  Go make more babies.  Sure you're older, but try harder.

And make some sandwiches too.

Glad to see the cheer squad has nothing better to do.

I believe Speesh' "somewhat" was a response to the question of NPR's objectivity.

Ed already has the "post the status of my daily shits daily" angle covered.

You could try for something original.

My urine was clear with a lovely golden hue this morning.

I can see the lack of shareholder value.

I listened to it for 12 hours straight to and from Atlanta a couple weeks ago, as well as every morning and evening in the car.  It gets me all edumacated and shit.
