Oscar may not be the only one living in a trash can...

While I was reading this, for some strange reason, the first image that came to my mind was all of Sesame Street in garbage cans. How sad. Then I thought of the political cartoons to follow with all the puppets in garbage cans sitting outside the White House.
Characters that have for generations have been loved by people world wide. A show that taught many of us not only how to count and read but also taught us tolerance and understanding of the world and people of different colors and cultures may be forced to end because they don't fit the agenda of a morally corrupt government hell bent on stamping out anything that would educate the masses in a positive manner. The Bush Administration is wanting to dumb down America (even more than it already is) because an uninformed person will not push for change.
So what is next for PBS? Well if W and his axis of evil have their way it will be some all white puppet cast of wealthy, "christen," Texas, oilers who teach the masses that they should like working for minimum wage at Wal-Mart.
