Why I listen to NPR

Not just because I'm a bleeding-heart, West Coast-living, registered Democrat with a crush on Ira Glass...but also because on local radio, especially in the morning, one's ears are treated to scintillating segments (sorry for the alliteration, it flares up when I'm annoyed) such as, "Is It Gay?" Debate is then held over whether things like having personalized checks or being a male cheerleader is gay. Not that these people are social scientists, but I'm going to have to point out here that correlation is not causation. Thank god for Morning Edition!
