This needs to be separate bills. It wouldn't surprise me if even some good conservatives won't defund PBS, but NPR may work.
Too many Tims| 10.22.10 @ 2:13PM
NPR will no doubt respond with an offer to hire X number of republican cronies and produce a few favorable stories and business as usual will go on.
Mad Hatter| 10.22.10 @ 2:22PM
NPR fired for even a non-PC hint,
NYT, only does news that doesn't give fits to print.
But to really see BS,
Just go watch PBS,
We truly need to be minding deMint!
Mad Hatter| 10.22.10 @ 2:29PM
Their execs, the Cloak of Righteousness did don,
Now their commentator Williams is gone!
He was sent reeling,
For telling his feeling!
Somehow, NPR's analysis seems wan!
Mad Hatter| 10.22.10 @ 2:35PM
NPR's terminating Juan's stint,
Put into Senator Jim's eyes a glint.
While I'm glad he spoke,
What is truly Broke,
Is all the reckless printing at de Mint!
