There can be only one (?)
Witness the strange circumstances pitting two of my favorite things against one another… In this corner, wearing the blue trunks stitched by Norwegian bachelor farmers from Lake Wobegon, Minnesota Public Radio! And in this corner, also wearing blue trunks and accompanied by the lovely Tipper, Al Gore! Touch gloves please. Now come out fighting!
Honestly, how did it come to this? Al Gore’s got a new “librul” TV network called CurrentTV. MPR’s got a (fantastic) music-only public radio station called “The Current.” Both are accessible online, I guess. (Note to MPR: Why do you not have an iTunes-capable stream feed? Windows-only feeds are so red-state.) Apparently sharing is out of the question, so litigation is necessary. What a wonderful way to expend energy on both sides. Here’s hoping for a speedy resolution.
