Sh*t Public Radio Listeners Say

"Sh*t Public Radio Listeners Say" is a rethinking of the "Sh*t xx say" meme going around the Interwebs.
This particular one is about public radio, and it's gaining viralness.

 UPDATE: The video was uploaded Jan. 22. As of Jan. 31, it has more than 20,000 hits.

Crazy, shameless pundit talks about Chelsea, Rhinebeck on WAMC. Shame on him

I was on the National Public Radio's affiliate WAMC-FM this morning talking to David Guistina on "Morning Edition" about why in the world anybody would talk to me about anything, and other things that start with "Rhinebeck."

Here's the clip.



Apparently, I have an accent. I'll give you five (Monopoly) bucks if you can translate what I've said.

Life imitates column that was not meant to be imitated by life

Yours truly, today:

• The media doesn’t know anything concrete about the wedding.
• The media will report that they don’t know anything concrete about the wedding.


USA Today's front page story, today:

We don't know for certain who's coming (but probably not President Obama, and not Oprah), nor precisely how many (400 to 500 seems to be the most popular guess). We don't know about the dress (maybe Vera Wang, maybe Oscar de la Renta, according to various media reports), we don't know about the décor (air-conditioned tents already are up) or the menu or the music. Is the rehearsal dinner in a stone barn at a local estate, Grasmere, or at the nearby mansion of Clinton supporters Toni and Martin Sosnoff?
We don't even know who is officiating and whether the ceremony will be Jewish (he's Jewish) or Methodist-Baptist (Chelsea's parents) or some combination.


We don't know anything. Read all about it.

Also, National Public Radio called as I was writing this to talk about how nobody knows anything, or something like that. It's a haze now. so as always, I blame Obamacare.

NPR does Lady Gaga's 'Telephone'




Shereen Marisol Meraji, Producer of "All Things Considered" said on her YouTube channel that, "I was inspired by the 82nd Airborne's version of "Telephone," so I made an NPR spoof. If you like Robert Siegel and Nina Totenberg, you're gonna love this."

Here's the 82nd Airborne's version.
