Thursday

and have always listened to WETA. However, they have taken to calling it the Trump Kennedy Center. I emailed them and told them that Trump does not have the authority to change the name, and why are they going along with it. They wrote back the most horrible corporate bullshit email I've ever seen. I wrote back and told them I will no longer listen to or support WETA as long as they call it the Trump Kennedy Center.

So I started listening to WBJC in Baltimore. Now they have started calling it the Trump Kennedy Center too. Damn.
