Sad News

National Public Radio has at least one talk show with almost no left-wing political content: Car Talk with brothers Tom and Ray Magliozzi, aka Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers. It is the only NPR show that the DrsC listen to since we gave up the weekend morning news shows a decade ago.

The sad news is that the brothers are retiring effective sometime this fall, according to this Los Angeles Times story. The program will go on for awhile using recycled material and I suppose we mostly won't notice much change, except for their oft-repeated exhortation to call the toll-free number; to be fair they should edit the "call us" out.

I wonder if they'll start pairing the original call with the Stump the Chumps outcome - that could be fun. Hat tip to Lucianne.com for the link.
