Now that National Public Radio has officially become a laughingstock, there are likely to be a lot of NPR jokes making the rounds. To facilitate the process, I've written some setups:

  • These correspondents from Fox, MSNBC and NPR walk into a bar...

  • What's the difference between NPR and Twitter?
  • Did you hear NPR's new advertising slogan? It's...
  • I love NPR's new logo. It's...

Have fun.

I'll take the easy one -

How can you tell when a memo from NPR is distorting the truth?

When it's a memo from NPR.

  • How can you tell when a memo from NPR is distorting the truth?

When it's presented to you with a soothing monotone voice.

Correspondents from Fox, MSNBC and NPR walk into a bar...to meet their principal source for an investigative piece about what makes Sarah Palin tick. They all walk up to the bartender, and ask him to direct them to the right booth. "NPR, okay, Bernardine Dohrn is waiting for you over there...MSNBC, yup, Gloria Steinem is waiting for you over there...and Fox, Sarah Palin called, she'll be about five minutes late."

These correspondents from Fox, MSNBC and NPR walk into a bar and they see a man dressed in traditional Muslim garb drinking a Martini. The Fox correspondent remarks, "Funny, I didn't know Muslims could drink." The MSNBC correspondent rebukes him, "Don't be ignorant, you racist Islamophobe." The NPR correspondent didn't say anything because he was already hiding under a table.

NPR doesn't need 140 characters to bore you.

I didn't think so. No one else noticed either.
