Huh?

Obviously, you haven't been paying attention, as the failure to pass health care is being blamed on Republicans.

And of course, Howard Dean blaming George Bush for voter dicontent in MA.

Are you always this insecure?

A business venture, already troubled and with a string of owners, is going out of business.

Seems cut and dry to me.

The far right are like sheep who need to flock together and be reminded they're right.  The far left can't agree on anything, so why would they tune into anything on a regular basis.

It really is a shame that the middle is such a scary place to both of those parties.

That's my guess. Or couldn't attract an audience. They've been in trouble right from the start.

I never heard it, even once. I'm an NPR guy.

Don't forget to add the periodic mumbling about NEA too.

Enjoy.

So what you are saying is that 52% of the funding for NPR whether direct or not comes from the U.S. Govt?

Sources please.
