| To Pledge or Not to Pledge? Consider life�s arrows and slings, Then consider what NPR brings: It�s a world full of news And enlightened reviews That helps one consider all things. Get the story |
| Alas, Public Radio... Don't let your lack of support be its death knell. |

| It's pledge time again at the Savant's local public radio station and it really isn't a question of whether to donate or not. It's only a question of how much. It's hard to find as good a source of unbiased news or as broad a coverage of world news within the U.S. For years, now, public radio has been the Savant's main muse; often sparking the idea for a new limerick as he listens on his long commute to his day job. I don't ask for doantions to keep this site running, but I do encourage you to support your local public radio station. Help keep my muse alive! But soft... What news of other pledges breaks? |
| The Case For Can a nation be called pluralistic With a pledge that is monotheistic: Each Hindu and Buddhist, Or pantheist nudist Reduced to a single statistic? (On the other hand, weren�t we all pantheist nudists roaming the African savannas in an earlier age?) The Case Against A dyslexic right-wing demagogue Could have the Supremes in a fog By claiming our Pledge Would lose its fine edge If we leave out the words �under dog.� (On the other hand, weren�t we �one nation underdog� during the Revolutionary War?) Get the story -And a balanced history of the Pledge and this case from the Weekly Standard |
