Any time I listen to 'Wait Wait', the host, Peter Sagal (and usually Mo Rocca too) make at least one joke seemingly pulled right from a topical GBS thread.
Sometimes almost literally verbatim.

This week was a bad example, but they brought up James Bond being replaced by a woman and Sagal made the joke of her now needing an objectified bond-boy called 'octo-dong' which I'm pretty sure was posted right in the GBS thread about it. I mean, that's not the world's toughest joke to write, but it's what caught my ear THIS time and I KNOW I've heard him and others on the show use stuff I've seen posted pretty much directly as material, so I wouldn't be surprised if they or a writer or something reads this.

What I'm saying is please work 'Big Beef City' into your show material this week and I'll know for sure tia.

A few critics in dark corners, however, are whispering politely that there is a chance that their 'ignorance' and 'fascism' may in fact be 'silly' or even 'goofy'.

NPR loves people who grew up in the Midwest and then moved to East Coast City for/after college. They have real heartland knowledge but were smart enough to leave those hicks behind and become urbanites. They were great for 2 years of Chud Safaris.

quote:

All right, an interview that ran on this program last Friday sparked a great deal of criticism. The interview was with Jason Kessler, an organizer of the white supremacist demonstrations in Charlottesville, Va., a year ago. He also planned yesterday's Unite the Right rally here in Washington, D.C. Many commentators criticized NPR, saying we gave Kessler a platform to broadcast hateful views. NPR put out a statement saying it stands by the airing of this interview. NPR's David Folkenflik put on his media critic's hat to take a look and a listen.

The newest Planet Money is about the topic of “Elizabeth Warren wants to tax the ultra rich, which failed in Europe! What can we learn from that?” They go into many reasons why the idea is a bad one and would probably cost more than revenue. For the other side they find some guy who got rich by investing on Amazon early on and says he’s worried about people with pitchforks coming after him during a revolution and therefore rich people should pay more in taxes before the guillotines come out. The hosts keep pushing him and asking him how far it would take for him to no longer support the tax and he admits that if he no longer makes profit off of residual income and interest rates he would no longer support it.

Guess the idea is doomed to fail! Even those who support it are big hypocrites, now a word from our sponsors, Bettermint and Wells Fargo!
