Dude, I Already Pledged Allegiance -- and Funding

HOW IS it that the two radio stations I listen to most when I'm in the car are having simultaneous fund drives? The Preston & Steve Show notwithstanding, WHYY and WXPN are the sole stations in the region that I can tune to and leave on, guaranteed, for more than five minutes at a time. No other stations are so consistent in offering interesting and different content in such long blocs. But, geez, when they go into pledge mode, the intriguing stuff gets locked in a closet and replaced by wave after wave of self-righteous staffers smugly informing me of how much better my life is thanks to their stations' presence. Which is probably true. But I'm already a member of 'XPN, as Mrs. Shallow Center is of 'HYY. We've drunk the Kool-Aid, thank you very much, and we'd rather not have it forcibly poured down our throats again. Especially when it's accompanied by such strident, shrill raving masquerading as please for funding.
