If I Pledge, Will They Stop? [Updated]

NPR this morning did its annual reading of the Declaration of Independence. Excruciating stuff. It was like a lame celebrity radio performance of A Christmas Carol–or worse, like the SNL NPR parody bit, but without the occasional laughs. All those smug, self satisfied voices, one shtick after another … I’m not saying it was torture, but damn, drop the cute and do some freaking reporting.
Update: A little while ago on WWOZ I heard, I think, Johnny Cash reading Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address. Much better.
