GOD HELP US

You gotta love npr .

I listen to it daily, reactions running the gamut from disgust to real enjoyment.
But the best part is that I give them no money other than that which they get from the government.

Anyway, diane rheme (sp?) had convened one of her ‘expert’ panels a week or two ago and a caller called, wondering if the recent volcanic activity and earthquakes could have been caused by coal mining and oil drilling and global warming.

Say what???????????????

I put down the coffee cup, waiting for the ‘distinguished’ panel to gently and politely educate the buffoon who called in.

Guess what…to a man and woman, the panel opined that the caller had a good point; that there is a lot we do not know about ‘natural forces’.

No gently advisory of reality.

You gotta love npr.

Might I also add that George Bush is likely at fault in some of these things? I surprised that the distinguished NPR panel didn't offer that up in the overall assessment. After all, by their own admission "...there's a lot we don't know!"
