This is actually of supreme importance to be right now:

Subject: This time, it’s for real: Save NPR and PBS

Hi,

You know that email petition that keeps circulating about how Congress is
slashing funding for NPR and PBS? Well, now it’s actually true.
(Really. Check at the bottom if you don’t believe me.)

Sign the petition telling Congress to save NPR and PBS:

http://www.moveon.org/publicbroadcasting/

A House panel has voted to eliminate all public funding for NPR and PBS,
starting with “Sesame Street,” “Reading Rainbow,” and other commercial-free
children’s shows. If approved, this would be the most severe cut in the
history of public broadcasting, threatening to pull the plug on Big Bird,
Cookie Monster, and Oscar the Grouch.

The cuts would slash 25% of the federal funding this year—$100 million—and end
funding altogether within two years. The loss could kill beloved children’s
shows like “Clifford the Big Red Dog,” “Arthur,” and “Postcards from Buster.”
Rural stations and those serving low-income communities might not survive.
Other stations would have to increase corporate sponsorships.

Already, 300,000 people have signed the petition. Can you help us reach
400,000 signatures today?

Thanks!

This means I've said things then that may be different now.
I might have wised up.  Let's hope so.
