Yeah! O'Keefe plays punk'd! Aren't you proud of him?



It seems you were pretty proud of a similar stunt recently.


THIS is fucking hilarious! And very, very telling...(Transcript: http://host.madison.com/wsj/article_531276b6-3f6a-11e0-b288-001cc4c002e0.html)







It's a shame he's probably killed Big Bird and countless other educational venues for children. But what do you care as long as dessimating NPR and PBS saves money, right?

It doesn't even matter that NPR has been praised by the Tea Party for their coverage:

Maybe if the right and teabaggers actually cared, they wouldn't be so fast to praise such shenanigans.



This may surprise you, but I'm a frequent NPR listener.  But I know what they are, and more to the point, I can't see why an entertainment of mine deserves a federal subsidy.  Obama's budget cut out heating oil subsidies, but kept NPR.  I realize the Michael Moore wing doesn't think there is any such thing as a fiscal crisis, it's just a hoax for Republicans to be meanies, but in the reality based community that I come from, our problems are real and serious.  At some point, even a liberal is going to have to start making hard decisions on the budget, and this is no hard decision;  it's budget fluff pure and simple.  If you can't cut NPR, I doubt you can cut anything... until it's too late of course.
