#1 And if he had said, "When at the airport and I see a catholic priest talking to a little boy, I get nervous", his contract would be extended 10 years with a signing bonus.

#2 Grow up Mr. Cantor. With all the pressing issues of the day, tilting at the NPR funding windmill is opportunistic and petty.

#3 I will take a line out on NPR's federal money any day. There is no reason for us taxpayers to be funding the Left's Pravada.

#4 Throw PBS in there too. Their childrens' programming ranges from odd to creepy. Seen SStreet lately? Only at last minute under pressure did they not show that bouncing tit set who wants to like the lollypops of the boys. The newspeople are riddle with uneducated hacks. Whats that leave, Bob Ross re-runs?

And don't get me wrong..9/10 opinions of Mr. Williams I disagree with and the remainder I listen to for the nostalgia of the slogans I was pitched as a kid where I have found mostly sales pitch rather than beliefe. Mr. Williams is one of the few who at the least came across as believing his views.

#5 Grow up Mr. Cantor.

I'm on Rep. Cantor's email list, Depot Guy. Every couple of weeks he sends a link to his website, and I and all the others can vote for which item on the list I would like to see cut from the budget. Once the votes are in, the Republicans try to get the winner attached to a bill. Thus far, of course, the Democrats have completely shut them out (the Republicans can ride in the back, as dear President Obama said the other day). But the Republicans are asking the voters to prioritize, rather than simply pandering on the issue of the day.

#6 Following up on what tw said, Cantor also asks taxpayers to nominate programs to be cut.

Here's the website.

Of the ones I've seen nominated, every gd one of the are wastes of our money.

#7 I think it would be quicker and more efficient to ask people which ones they want to keep. And if they can't think of the program, kill it.

#8 Good point, NS.

Of course, the DemoncRats would want to keep everything but the defense budget....
