"AIDS Activists Teach Inner City Kids to Love Shakespeare."

NPR parodies itself.

Or according to Mickey Kaus:

The Perfect NPR Story.

Is there a place on earth that hasn’t used rap music to assert its long-suppressed cultural identity? NPR has not found that place. Just in the last two days we’ve had the Crow Nation and the Taiwanese. Previously: “A New Beat Gives Young Mongolia a Voice, Identity” and “Rapping About Land and Identity” (Palestinians). Don’t forget the Somalis. And “The Rap Songs of Arab Spring.” If “All Things Considered” can’t kill hip hop, I guess nothing can.

But we just have to have public funding for NPR or we will lose this valuable content forever!

The narrative changes, conveniently.

Dissent - patriotic under Bush, an incitement to violence under Obama.

Question patriotism?  Anathematized under Bush, quite acceptable under Pelosi.

And, now, as Liberal Blogger Mickey Kaus points out:

Which leads me to wonder: If the current frenzy for "civility" means Republicans have to take the sharp edges off their Tea Partyish rhetoric, will that really help Democrats? Democrats may think so. Byron York speculates that they're quietly congratulating Obama for raising the civility issue in his Tucson address even as he denied that incivility had anything to do with the shooting—a strategy Obamaphile Jon Alter had advocated before the speech. Boy did it make Palin look bad! What's more, just when the number of GOP representatives is about to dwarf the number of Democrats who'll be listening to the State of the Union address, there's MSM momentum behind the idea that the parties should sit in an interspersed jumble so viewers won't be able to tell. Brilliant! Republicans are in a position to be mean to Democrats, and there's suddenly a campaign against meanness. What a happy coincidence!
