Excerpt from a post today in rec.arts.tv.mst3k.misc:
Listening to the news on NPR is a treat, because the news anchors never seem too fazed by whatever tragedy they're discussing. Whatever the news item is, it's read in that calmly reassuring "golf announcer" voice that I love. If the destruction of the world were ever imminent, I'd want to hear about it on NPR. "You're listening to All Things Considered on listener-supported National Public Radio. The nuclear holocaust is about... oh, twenty minutes away, I'd say. Should any of you listeners surive, be sure to tune in for our in-depth discussion with Andreas Vollenwinder tonight at seven. We'll be discussing what possible effects the total cessation of life on Earth will have on the arts community."
