I suppose Sesame Street has always been an outpost of flaming liberalism, they did keep interjecting spanish words into the typical broadcast, regardless I always had a soft spot for the show. It apparently helped teach me to read at a very young age and who doesn’t just dig Snuffleupagus? He’s the lay down shit, man, the absolute best. I guess I should have seen it coming when white people were banned from the show but now they’re going to have AIDS-baby muppets? Yeesh.
“C is for crack whore, she’s Mommy to me.”
I say again. Yeesh.
I guess rubber-ducky’s bathtub gin operation is just too passe anymore. Don’t you think Oscar was supposed to be the typical conservative type in their little slummy Berkeley type commune? Man, I bet he’s down in his garbage can writing screed after screed against this sort of hogwash. Anyone know if Oscar blogs?
Saw Harvey last night. I highly recommend it to anyone. I’ve never seen Jimmy Stewart’s version but he’s got to be the quintessential Elwood P. Dowd. I love his line (Elwood’s), “Doctor, I have been struggling with reality for many years and am happy to report I have finally won out over it.” We did Harvey back in high school and I never quite got it, last night I totally got it. Freaking cool play. Irish folklore and all.
And speaking of Ireland. Goddamn protty buggers are marching again. Ohhh, sure, it’s all the IRAs fault. Silly papists! Bollocks. These bloody damned Orangemen have caused more trouble in the last several years with their insistence on marching through the worst possible places than the IRA has caused in a similar span of time. Don’t get me wrong. I despise the IRA, haven’t thought well of them since DeValera bucked the free state treaty in 1921 and went to war with the people themselves but I hate Protestants even more. Stupid English lackeys.
Aaaaand finally, I was watching a commercial for Molson last night where a Quebecois got up and proclaimed loudly that he was NOT a Canadian. Funny, as if being Canadian weren’t bad enough he’d rather be FRENCH! Funny.
