APRIL FOOLS: NPR wants to ban Girl Scout cookies.

It’s a pretty bold move to blast Girl Scout cookies, those precious sugary treats whose limited run from late winter to early spring is just about over for the year.

But a few brave voices argue it’s no longer all that delightful to see little girls peddling packaged cookies, or to buy them in the name of supporting the community. (And no, this is not an April Fools’ joke.)

Which explains why I never listen to NPR, or pretty much of anything government sponsored.
