“Radical” Russ quoted on NPR’s “Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me”

Shared from RadicalRuss.com—

Well, what a surprise! I got two e-mails from friends who heard me quoted on National Public Radio’s program, “Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me”. You can listen to the streaming audio clip (with RealPlayer) by clicking here.

The quote in question comes at about the 4:12 mark of the first segment of the show. They are playing the news quiz where they quote a headline and ask a contestant to identify the news item:

CARL: “High school science finals will be so much easier now that the kids can just write down ‘God did it!'”

That was a blogger named Russ Bellville, one of the many people covering the State of Kansas for their latest victory in the ongoing battle against what?

So welcome to anyone who’s just found my little corner of cyberspace. Take a look at the main page and you can follow my twisted views on other news items of the day… I can even forgive them for misspelling my last name.

This week, our headliner is someone you’ve never heard of who wrote hits you’ve definitely heard of, Mark James. We’ll take you to the Amphitheater for some experimental music from India and Germany. We’ve got some Texas pop-punk and California stoner rock in the Mosh Pit. We dedicate a new stage for Opera, featuring tenors from Peru and Czech Republic. We’ll open up the Country Bunker for some traditional Irish fiddle. We’ve got traditional French chant and French torch song in Le Cabaret. We’ll close up shop this week at the Festival Stage in Brazil.

I used to be a Twitter power user, but since Elongated Muskrat has turned it into a Nazi pub, I have since migrated to Threads. Whaddaya gonna do? It’s the social media run by the lesser-evil billionaire. I’m also on BlueSky, Mastodon, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok as well, just not as often.
