NPR Holds These Truths to Be Self-Evident
Driving around this morning I heard NPR's Morning Edition air a full reading of the Declaration of Independence, performed by hosts, reporters, newscasters and commentators. The program has done this for 19 years, but this marked the first time I heard the reading.
The reading was both moving, because of the content, and amusing, because I tried to identify the readers. When I heard a familiar voice, I instantly had an image of the person in my head -- Ted Koppel cocking his head to the side and waggling his eyebrows, Carl Kasell taking a break from "Wait, Wait . . . Don't Tell Me." I thought one reader was Cokie Roberts, but it was really Nina Totenberg (could they be the same woman?).
Well done, NPR, with your acknowledgement of the original "inconvenient truths." Enjoy your 4th and keep the spirit going for the 5th and beyond.

National Pretentious Radio.
Radio for the lefties to lap lattes too.
Sorry, but those snobs do not impress me.

Giving NPR folk the Declaration of Independence is like giving eternal monkeys a typewriter.
Eventually, and quite by accident, you get something of value.
