I mean, if you think about it for more than three seconds, it's not a comparison that scans at all. It's a feeble attempt at topicality, at best. And then he finishes up with his self-aggrandizing comments about how he belongs on the premium tier. Um... no? I would not pay 7 cents a month extra to hear you pontificate. The only people on NPR who've earned that are Ira Glass, Leonard Lopate, Garrison Keillor, the Marketplace people, and John Schaefer. And I would only pay for Ira Glass if he agreed to fire Sarah Vowell.
