NPR FD!

Thank goodness!  The BBC just came on NPR , which signals the end of the day’s fund drive and the start of actual, uninterrupted news.  Colorado Public Radio (CPR) does something witty called the “warp drive.”  This is a short fund drive in advance of the actual fund drive.  Supposedly, if you contribute and they meet a certain goal, then the real fund drive will be shorter.  Well, darn it, we contributed during the warp drive and it still seems long! 

 

And they are not entertaining.  I have the feeling that the CPR staff running the fund drive think they are hilarious and entertaining the listeners, but they are wrong.  If only they put Cookie Monster on instead – that might be entertaining.

Speaking of Cookie Monster, there are some funny pictures on the interwebs of the CM. 

Like this one:

I hope the fund drive ends soon…
