Report out tonight that the new House majority, looking to curb spending in every direction, is targeting the federal NPR & PBS subsidy for elimination.
Look, I'm a fan of A Prairie Home Companion (well, some of its more headline bits to be exact). But did you know that Garrison Keilor's salary is 7 figures? And more power to him, but if the 900+ NPR stations around the country & PBS were allowed to sink or swim on their own then perhaps we would get MORE Frontlines & News From Lake Wobagon, & other commercially viable / quality programing & less BBC filler & multi hour segments on multiculturalism by grad students whom think their trip through Greenwich Village to find a fruit stand selling out-of-season plantains is a clever commentary on the homophobic nature of America ... I'm just saying, we're 14 trillion in debt, maybe for now we can skip funding such forays to find windows on the soul of man.
