The Sesame Manifesto

By Capt. Fogg

It's impossible for me to watch a Fox "panel" chew on a story without thinking of an alligator feeding frenzy or a bunch of mean dogs fighting for possession of a bit of rawhide. Actually it's impossible for me to watch Fox News at all, but for those of a tougher breed, here's a prime example of that ruthless war on reality called Fox.

Listen carefully and you'll spot the message that Sesame Street aims at lower income, Urban kids and you'll smell the racism and you'll hear the Republican anthem that the fraction of a cent per taxpayer that this show costs is "on principle" too much and especially because it tries to elevate the underclasses in direct contravention of Divine Law and Ayn Rand, whichever is the more powerful.

Does anyone really believe that Big Bird is a Communist or that Sesame Street is ruining America and the morals of its children? (perhaps Doctor Spock fans can sigh with relief now that they've moved on to a new chew toy.)

Perhaps you do, perhaps you watch Fox anyway. Perhaps you're a malicious idiot with delusions of persecution, but here it is again:

  2. Well, you know that you can't trust these muppets, right? They have a secret agenda to warp our children's minds!

  3. Perhaps it's all a smokescreen to hide the secret Teletubby war on heterosexuality.

    Honestly, why is there one person left on Earth who still watches Fox?

  4. I think these jackbooted conservatives are so sanctimonious in their quest for power, they cannot recognize their own moral turptitude. What a bunch of sick, ingnorant squawking heads.

  5. I'm with Colbert -- truth has a liberal bias. That's what these guys are really complaining about. Hmmmm... so I guess Elmo and the Cookie Monster and E & B should be telling the little ones all about The Free Market (TM) and its infinite virtues. If poor sick ole Granny can't get health care under some GOP smoke-and-vouchers regime, why, that's "the market solution," don't you see: the market has decided that Granny's life is worthless; it's just not profitable to keep her going anymore. The market is ALWAYS right, children! Bye-bye, Granny! (Cue Sesame Street happy music....)

  6. It's like they have no idea that they are a caricature of cartoonish evil.
