What About Bob?

I have yet to experience a weekday morning without him, and I already miss Bob Edwards.

Sure, I love Renee Montagne. In fact, I’ve sort of got the hots for her. Ok, I really have the hots for her.

But what is NPR going to do next, colorize the airwaves like Ted Turner did movies? Retro-mix the All Things Considered theme song with a hip-hop beat? Add a nonstop chuckle track looping in the back of every Morning Edition broadcast like the other insipid drive-time shows that make commercial radio such a festering cesspool of idiocy?

If NPR is really interested in capturing the “youth market” (whatever that is) clearly, there’s only one solution: they need to populate the studio with hentai Sailor Moon lookalike lesbians. Hey, it works for Howard Stern.

Remember what you’re about, NPR. Remember why we like you.
