Did anyone else hear NPR yesterday where they had a "make-your-own" fireworks program? (SOT, I think....,) complete with multiple guests giving on-air instructions on how to make fireworks from "mostly available" ingredients, including: melting saltpeter on your home stove, or making your own wick for your own hand-made fire-crackers, and my favorite: somehow obtaining red phosphorous while not getting put on federal anti-meth lists, and others...

But then, as you'd expect from liberal media, WUNC had all-day-long PSAs suggesting that no one set off their own fireworks, and to leave it to the pros.....

On the one hand: "Make your own half-ass fireworks", and on the other: "even store-bought ones are too dangerous!"

LOL.....

if you started scraping off the back of paper matchbook strikers now, you might have enough by next 4th of July to make a roman candle.

Imagine that, a radio station that gets a lot of its funding from the federal government was running PSAs paid for by the federal government

they don't get that much funding from the federal gov't.

NPR reports that 11% of their annual funding comes from the federally funded Corporation for Public Broadcasting. That's a significant amount.

11% ain't shit.

I understand why you might not bat an eye if you lost 11% of your pay considering 11% of $0.00 is still $0.00, but those of us with net positive income (like the CPB) are somewhat differently positioned.

uh oh

i feel a trollfight coming on

Take your boy Duke here for example. I doubt he'd say an 11% increase in his child support payments "ain't shit."

I'm sure Mrs. Fail Boat wouldn't mind if the size of her hubby's fully erect penis increased from 3.0 to 3.33 inches.
