NPR Free
One thing about being stuck in the middle of the desert with a rental car: radio sucks. There is no NPR here. The one "talk" radio station has a definite religious bend. Yesterday I heard repeatedly the voices of individuals who identified themselves as democrats declaring that they could never vote for Hillary (or any woman) or for Obama (described as a "Muslim in disguise"). I have some weird idea that I want to hear the president give the "State of the Union" address tonight. No one here has been able to let me know if it will be broadcast live on EST or on delay. The responses I've heard echo the first one I received when I asked: "I don't know when it's on and I really don't care." Maybe if I spoke Spanish I'd be better off, as the two most popular stations are in that language. I keep reminding myself that this too is America, and that it is the diversity of this country which makes it great. I just keep wishing that I could get my NPR when driving out here.
