'An Afghan shepherd calls to his children in November 2001. “A shepherd was calling his sons to bring in the goats and sheep. You can see the tree destroyed in the bombing, the broken wall he's standing on.

Did Linette Lopez just say on Marketplace (fav show listen every night BTW what up Kai) that Americans need to work more... hours per week? I think she may have had one too many martinis with her NY sociolite friends. Here in the real America we're tired, because we already work our tails off, 47+ hr adv week. Maybe I'm way off base but would love to hear her defend her claim. She may have gone to Harvard or Columbia but I sincerely doubt she has put in a 50 hour week on a factory floor. See More

I love NPR. My only quibble is with the logo they're using in Facebook. It's crazy ugly. (Unless garish yellow plus wash...ed-out gray is the hip color combination of the season or something? I admit that I'm no expert.) And it's also incomprehensible. In the feed it looks like a bowl-shaped flapper hat swimming in macaroni and cheese. The larger version looks like the head of an evil robot stuck in some sort of weird black and yellow Tetris dimension. Why not just stick with the regular NPR logo? See More
