now posting regularly

What's that you say?  Today is Wednesday?  Really?  Hmmm... last Wednesday of the year, even?  Wow.  Well, let's just say that this holiday week hasn't been a very big one for NPR in my life, since it appears I have a whopping three pieces bookmarked from this past week.  It'll have to do, but I know that 2011 will bring many, many more NPR shout-outs.

  • "Nixon-Era Probe Of Dan Schorr Uncovered A Great Reporter, FBI Files Show"-- This All Things Considered story fascinated me, because I knew so little of Daniel Schorr's history.  I just knew I liked his pieces on NPR, and his voice always sounded so trustworthy to me, if that makes sense.  I was interested to learn about this aspect of his professional life-- oh, how silly our government has been.
  • "The Fate Of Saddam Hussein's Quran"-- Another All Things Considered story, but instead of fascinating, this time around it's quite revolting, actually.  You've just got to read it to see what I mean...
  • "Jon Stewart's Latest Act: Sept. 11 Responders Bill"-- My favorite NPR story in quite a while comes from Weekend Edition Sunday.  Yes, Jon Stewart is a true force, and despite his claims to be running a fake news show, this man has a real understanding about what needs attention and what is just plain BS in Washington.  Love, love, love him.
Alrighty.  Holiday week means holiday level of links, I guess.


Loving NPR into the new year,
