I'm generally liberal in my political views. But if you gave me a choice of waterboarding or listening to NPR for a couple hours, I would really have to think about it.

NPR is a confluence of 4 or 5 things I cannot stand--talk radio, deliberately muted speech tones, pregnant pauses, ultra-liberal circle-jerking, poetry read by anyone other than the original author, "on-location" reporting from someone I can't even [censored] see...

There's more stuff that I can't quite put my finger on. Ugh. Pain.

I agree with a lot of this Suzzer and there are segments I just can't listen to.

I guess I just got so sick of listening to the angry, arrogant, hypocritical, self-appointed morality police of morning radio that in comparison listening to a condescending communist somehow became a reasonable alternative.

If at least one of the three hours was Cah Tawk, I could probably weather the other two no matter what they were. If one hour is Fa-resh Air, the other two have to be ATC (All Things Considered) or better. Two hours of Fa-resh Air will require a good State of Nevada or Michelle Norris talking dirty to me during ATC. Any amount of Prairie Home Companion trumps everything and I'll happily take the waterboarding.
