My dad has been posting things from Ben Carson on Facebook. I just CAN’T. Gah.

Yeah. I want my president to be better than I am. Because I’m a super-flawed person who should never be put in control of anything too important because absent a supervisor I will just spend my time fucking around rather than getting work done.

I’ve never understood people who want their elected leaders to be as dumb as they are.

Here, let me google that for you. FFS.

I mean, if you listen to the Friday news roundups she is very pro-Bernie. I wouldn’t bitch too much more about a question she asked with no malicious intent and apologized profusely for.

Almost *Anyone* over Gross for me. Often times I end up yelling at her (only in the privacy of a car, as her show comes on during lunch here) for not asking the obvious questions or letting BS slide - something I never do with Rehm or many BBC reporters. She’ll be missed.

NPR is in my me-space, no matter which local I am listening to on a given day/trip. My heart clutches whenever I hear Republicans talk smack about my beloved NPR and they threaten their funding. Sometimes, for weeks or months on end, it’s the only way for me to really broaden my horizons when bogged down with the…

I’ve heard people mock her because of her quavering voice—implying she’s from a generation long past and that she’s over the hill. I guess it would be accurate to say she’s from a former generation that is probably more conservative than those of the Jezebel readership. Nevertheless, I drive for a living and value her…

Dina Temple-Raston! Cokie Roberts! Sylvia Poggioli! Fiona Ritchie! Linda Wertheimer!

Ditto.
WAMU is in my ear mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Diane Rehm and Kojo Nnamdi are my daily radio professors on all subjects.

Their names are so great that sometimes I wonder if having a great name is a prerequisite for employment at NPR

I’m so upset about this. I love Diane and feel like she’s helped me develop a much more nuanced view of the world than I would have otherwise. And what will I do without the Friday News Roundup?

Leila Fadul. Windsor Johnston. Eleanor Beardsley. Ophira Eisenberg. Just saying their names gives me a bit of a shiver, they’re so pleasant to say.

I didn’t realize that NPR didn’t have a lot of women. Whenever I think of NPR, I think of all their outstanding female hosts and correspondents. And their fantastic names. (Looking at you, Ofeibea Quist-Arcton)

Seems like this tour’s been going on since 1989.

Not Captain America, but it’ll do.

The quality really has gone to shit. I’m SO TIRED of fucking tissue t-shirts. I just want a shirt you can’t see my bra through, thanks. No, I will not buy one of your camisoles to go underneath. Nice try, though.

You can be a neurosurgeon, but think the pyramids were for grain-storage.
