Chicago Is Proud To Be Anti-Ketchup

Published July 18, 2018 at 5:09 AM EDT

DAVID GREENE, HOST:

Good morning. I'm David Greene. You know, being from Pittsburgh, the home of Heinz, I will proudly speak up for ketchup. I'm not some crazy ketchup addict. Like, I'll never understand putting it on eggs. But Chicago, what is your problem? I know you frown on putting ketchup on your hot dogs, but this is out of control. You seriously have a sign on Interstate 94 that says no texting, no speeding, no ketchup. I've seen the photos of it. Live your life, Chicago. And really, enjoy those french fries. You're listening to MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
