NPR has ***OFFICIALLY*** jumped the shark.
On Wednesday December 03, 2008 at 4:56 p.m. one of their correspondents referred to an artist's work as "trippy". I guess we are to assume that all listeners to NPR have dropped acid? :shrug:

1. Oh please.
Every time NPR interviews a conservative or a preacher, someone on DU just has to hop on and announce they've sold out to The Man and are a front for the international bankers' war cabal. Now one correspondent in one story uses an adjective you don't like and they're... what? Drug fiends? Hopeless squares? Just what the heck is your problem with the adjective 'trippy'?

2. I don't like National Propaganda Radio, heretofore referred to as "The Man" co-opting drug culture.

5. I go on the assumption that everyone I know has dropped acid
Boring old world it would be if they hadn't.

12. Today they also were amused that Obama's administration could be...
"diverse" and still "competent"

Seriously, I heard it at lunch.
