I was listening to NPR (which recently had its funding slashed by conservatives) this morning, and one of the producers of Morning Edition is “Anita Grant.” HARRR! Trust me, I wouldn’t make up a pun this stupid. Okay, I did a little poking around their site, and it turns out to be Neva Grant. My [...]

…if he will stand up and say what should be blindingly obvious to all Americans these days: “Real patriots use public transportation.” But… but what about those folks who drive six-wheeled pickup tracks with multiple, tattered American flags hanging off the back?
