[joe-frank-list] Joe on NPR

[Steve Bacher]

I haven't listened to NPR in many years.  The (non-Joe Frank) news 
anchor sounds to me now just like an AI-generated voice-over.

The hotel story itself is just as dull as the kinds of discussions Joe 
used to parody on his own shows.

The "Ode to War" is classic JF.  I have a feeling Pete Hegseth would 
approve the message.
