What's the show on NPR where it's like, a whose line fake gameshow, only with soft spoken hokey english teachers making horrible jokes. Sub-dad jokes. Elementary school teacher jokes. That came on one day when I was driving and I was in awe of how terrible it was. My personal hell.
That show is fantastic and you are a terrible person. It's "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me".
That show was, lit trilly, the most awful thing I have ever heard in my life. Humor so non-flammable that it leaked out of my radio and gave me mesothelioma.
Thousands of hot, local singles are waiting to play at bubbulon.com.
Olympic Ping Pong Table Tennis is great, though. Endless multitasking possibilities. If I could put this on in the background while I did other things every year I would.
it is because gooey doesn't engage in debates really anymore he just shoots the shit in [chat] and apparently hangs out with people in texas or wherever he is
we have forgotten that he is a terrible person, deep down
i have not forgotten
NEVAR FORGET

Damned philistines unable to appreciate the value of a series of puns based on news of the day.
Just turn the dial back to Stern!
nobody gets to the olympics without the gubmint's help anyway

American athletes would preform better but they know a third of their winnings will go back to taxes so they're discouraged. "I could nail this dismount perfectly but then I'd have more paperwork to do in April. Better fake a bad landing to avoid that hassle."
Very little of it would end up being paid in taxes btw. All of their training expenses are deductible and most of them have little to no income beyond the medal awards. You'll get some small exceptions but those will be for the Olympians who rack up some serious endorsement money. Which will be Phelps and maybe the girls from the gymnastics team.

you should be privatized

i actually had a breakdown the other day when I got to the section of my thesis proposal that was the "feasibilty and broader impacts"
The BBC ran an article the other day suggesting that US olympians don't get financial support from their federations, and instead rely on commercial sponsorship.

There are a lot of talented, successful athletes who agree with me -- because they want to give something back. They know they didn't -- look, if you've been successful, you didn't get there on your own. You didn't get there on your own. I'm always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so fit. There are a lot of fit people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something -- there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there.
If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great trainer somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you've got a gold medal -- you didn't earn that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn't get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the athletes could make money off the Internet.
The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together. There are some things, just like fighting fires, we don't do on our own. I mean, imagine if everybody had their own fire service. That would be a hard way to organize fighting fires.
the thing that irked me about this speech wasn't the "you didn't build that" as much as the "Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet."
that isn't why the internet was created at all!!
Whoa whoa hold on. When I took issue with that in the President thread I was history's worst fucking monster. Also every mook with a wikipedia tab open was suddenly Mister Internet History Major, talking to me like I thought gopher was an animal.
that is because i have descretely pushed off the mantle of "token conservative, act like an asshole to me" to you
i am now "that guy who i disagree with most of what he says, but can't figure out why"
We need a new conservative regular around here. I need to get in on this liberal ambivalence shit you've worked out.
Not to dig up old history, but there are a few things wrong with the recollection of events in here.
The BBC ran an article the other day suggesting that US olympians don't get financial support from their federations, and instead rely on commercial sponsorship.
This is pretty much true. We don't have any assistance outside of having some training facilities for most of our Olympic sports. There also are rarely organized groups supporting them. This is why Colbert put in the money helped make sure we had a speed skating team in '10 winter olympics and such.

Probably? I remember there was a little dust-up about the Olympic uniforms being made in China, and the sentiment from the US Olympic committee when pressed by Congress was basically "fuck you; we have to pay for all this ourselves"

It makes you wonder how many potential medallists there are in the US that just never get the opportunity.
I remember Mark Cavendish saying the thing that kept him in cycling was that UK Sport paid him a salary for two years to train and compete. Otherwise he'd be a bank manager right now.

No that is the weekday line up. Weekend is weird.
Morning Edition
Car Talk
Wait Wait Don't Tell Me
This American Life
Fresh Air Weekend
Radio Lab
And rarely do I listen past that. Sunday is mostly just PHC after Morning Edition.
