I think not, or you would have gotten the message loud and clear last night.

It takes a big man to admit he made a mistake. So I'm sure you won't be admitting yours.

Please, prove me wrong.

Dear Clueless,

So you have 160,000 listeners, 300 of whom show up, all of whom are opposed to your brainlessly irresponsible act in firing the heart, soul and -- apparently -- brains of WYPR. And of the other 159,700 listeners, how many showed up to defend you? ZERO.

If you only had a brain, this would be about the most definitive research you can do.
