Things I learned from NPR recently

1.> Che Guevara did not bathe often - he did not believe in it.

2.> 3% of the human genome is devoted to our sense of smell.

3.> "Satire" comedy pieces should contain either good satire or good comedy.

I mean, seriously, I expect this kind of shoddy attempt at humor from a paleozoic beefcake like Daniel Schorr, but what kind of "satirists" spend this kind of energy for an All Things Considered piece? What the hell do these two do with their time when they're not writing/producing awful sketches? AHHHHHHHH DAMN DAMN DAMN I'm so angry I've got to google them...

...and there you have it. Per their one-line bios following a Salon piece (also not funny), David Slavin is an actor and voice-over artist; Bruce Kluger is a columnist for Us Weekly magazine...

But MY GOD! That Salon bit was written in 2001! These two assholes have been "writing" "satire" for at least 3 years and they can't create anything worthwhile? Even with all of Bruce's experience at Us Weekly? Sad.
