a giant loving volcano appeared over middle america today, spewing forth liquid gold but wiping out millions of americans, including women and children. millions more are homeless or suffering. traders on wall street responded favorably to the recent influx of 'liquid' capital. lets do the numbers. *jaunty jazzy tune of 'we're in the money' plays*

There are no clouds in the sky, no stars. A dull moon, agitated at your presence, hides itself behind a copse of trees. You have never felt more alone.

FactsAreUseless posted:I don't recall the On Point story. They were talking about Keillor from PHC. The CBC guy was Jian Ghomeshi from the show Q, who is long since fired. This saddens me. Tom Ashbrook was the host of On Point, which was/is your run-of-the-mill current events call-in show on the east coast. Surprise surprise, he was also a sex pest and meToo'd in december of 2017.

This was like 2014 and I was still a mostly politics-less “leftish” person without a clue. lol that was a classic episode, he was feeding his mentally ill dog crates of exotic kangaroo meat. he became a ur-example of the same bullshit he serves up on a weekly basis. i wonder if the dog lived longer than his marriage

Flake is a republican, but he also says he's a moderate, and is undecided on _______. Over the next hour we'll be following Flake as he goes about the business of the senate and makes up his mind on _____. masterful. it makes me think that there are truly both sides on each issue.

"Welcome back to on point, I'm Meghna Chakrabarti and we have the one guy in Nooseneck Arkansas on the lines that listens to NPR. Hey caller, what do you think about the current situation in Iowa regarding the recent ban on super abortions?" "Thank ya kindly, Megan Chefboyardee. I just wanted to call in to say I'm tired of these horse jockeys in washington telling OUR PRESIDENT Donald Trump what to do! The gridlock in Washington has gone on for too long. And I'll tell you what, its all the fault of them stinking..." "Thank you, caller. That certainly is a concern." *wipes spontaneous nosebleed hurriedly* "I'll turn this callers concern over to my guest, noted SUNY Plattsburgh professor of neonatal terminations, Dr. Jason Weoddababbieatsaboi. Jason, how does President Trump fit into the super abortion debate, which is something I'm sure a lot of our callers are asking themselves." "Thanks Meghna. And actually before I get started my last name is pronounced "Wendelton" and my background is in Woman's Studies. Trump doesn't quite fit into this debate at all. Also, I was told before the show we'd be talking about the impact the sports bra had on the development of third wave feminism. But to further elaborate on your caller's statement, we should just look0 into how all of this is tied up to the power dynamics of a society that forces a family to have dual incomes to survive. I think we can see that most of these social issues come down to rampant income inequa..." "Interesting. Well, unfortunately doctor we've run out of time. Join us next time, when we'll speak with noted constitutional scholar and composer Moby about his new book, "Gee, the 90s sure were swell".

"Hi welcome back to All Things Considered, I'm Stevinski and this is the insufferable culture part of the program where we interview a real life mandolin musician from war-torn Scotland, Mr. Jeff Jeffersby. Good evening, Jeff. When you were writing your album, "I wrote this album because my mom died and I'm sad", what would you say was the overall emotion going through your head at the time?" "Mostly sadness, what with all the mom death going on in my life." "There you have it, folks. I'm Stevinski for NPR" *Jeff's album plays, and for the purposes of this post I can't tell you what any of the music ever sounds like in these loving segments because I have already switched over to sports talk or another affiliate*
