Hard to believe it’s been three years…
…since the last Morning Edition on NPR. I know, I know, they’re using the same name for their “new and improved” morning show, but it ended three years ago when the pinheadsstripes replaced Bob Edwards with the Ken and Barbie Comedy Hour.
Ok, ok, I know…I gripe about it a whole lot. But by now you should realize how long I hold a grudge against an organization that screws with my mornings. No One screws with my mornings…

(So I re-registered…I’m back (again)) I’m still with you 100%. I absolutely do not listen to “ME”. I will boycott it forever (or at least as long as you-know-who are the hosts). I have noticed something interesting locally: KQED (the huge NPR station in San Francisco), (who didn’t support Bob) almost never has ME promos during its broadcast of ATC in the afternoon/evening anymore. One of the smaller, central coast NPR affiliates (associated with the university in Monterey) uses them and I have to either switch channels or mute it when I hear “that voice”…….AARGH. Anyway, would still give anything for Bob to be back in that chair in the morning.

I put on my local NPR station in the morning when I figure there is possibly news I want to hear. Otherwise I’m tuned to XMPR to hear Bob Edwards. It’s too bad that it would cost so much for him to do a two hour show of international news in combination with his spectacular interviews.
