A parody of what I heard on the radio today.




I've been listening to WUSS FM public radio
since I first arrived in Los Angeles two years ago.
As an attorney for the ACLU,
I don't have much time
to listen to any other station or opinion
nor would I care to.

My work taking down the crosses
that adorn the many hilltops
marking the pathway of early explorers
and Spanish Missionaries,
kicking the Boy Scouts off of their deeded land,
and protecting the
rights of Islamo-faciasts
takes up most of my time.

However busy my schedule is,
I always find the time to listen to WUSS FM.

Why just the other day,
after picking up a
nicely-chilled bottle of Chardonnay,
French Brie,
Russian Beluga caviar,
and Persian crackers at the wine shop,
I hopped into my Hummer,
turned on the radio
and WUSS cast me into a trance-like state.

It was music to my ears...
Open Borders, Higher Taxes
and Al Gore winning out
the Nobel Peace prize
for his Power-Point presentation 
over the woman who had risked
life and limb to save all those children
from the Nazi death camps
during World War Two.

Yes, it was truly one of those driveway moments.
You know the kind.
Sitting with the engine on and listening...
just listening.
Unable to move.
Frozen in euphoria.
I knew that my sushi was getting
warm inside the house,
but I just couldn't pry my loving ears away.

To hell with my Maguro Sashimi, I thought.
I didn't even care if the Ponzu sauce
had began to separate and settle.

No, I was just so in to WUSS.
I'm a real WUSS fan.
I love WUSS and WUSS doesn't just talk to me,
it actually defines me,
except of course for programs like
"Prairie Home Companion". 
Even that show has its followers.
It's just too bad that most of them
don't vie for socialist reform like the rest of us.

Oh well, it's not a perfect world
but through litigation that will all change soon.

My husband and I support WUSS and so can you.
Call in you pledge today.
WUSS needs your firm support
to maintain a rigid programming schedule
that keeps folks like me engrossed and entertained.

You'll be happy in the end...I know I am.


Rod Letcher Esq.
ACLU

Dear Rod: As CoProducer of WUSS fm Radio. I say you're fired! Why? You ask. What did I do wrong? You ask. You were driving a hummer! I can't believe it! Don't we pay you little enough to buy yourself a used Ford Escort?
We will allow this however: You may still listen to WUSS radio.
