not more music, more news

Some news bits:

This little rant about the tyranny of futura bold italic reminds me of the "david bauw-ie" comment made by Avril - somehow we expect the next generation to build from what the last has done, to know it and reference it smartly, but often its just some haphazard application of known quantities - how much reverb can i put on this - is that galaxie 500? how out of tune can i sing? is that the television personalities?

In a truly frightening move, the Bush Admin. and Republican circus is calling to cut funding to NPR because of their liberal bias, and want to replace national news programs with 'more music':

"We heard sentiments from the board that they are interested in support of more music," said Vincent Curran, a senior vice president in charge of the radio division. He said that the board had made no final decisions on funds.

In one of the few times you will ever read this on my blog, I advocate that they play less music and talk more about how insanely corrupt and evil our government is, and say it loud and often until somebody listens.
