    This calls for a drink. I’ll have a Sullenberger cocktail. You know the Sullenberger cocktail? Two shots of Grey Goose and a splash of water…….

    He hates Big Bird because he represents education: something Conservatives oppose if you’re poor.

    And the head of Sesame Street Workshop has a salary of $684K, so why should I subsidize him.

    @trimguy: thank you!@skipcarlson: you obviously have never had any dealings with a non-profit organization. I work for one, a county library system. All of our government money has been allocated to other, for-profit agencies, so we have no choice but to ask the taxpayers for help. You think that’s easy? Hah! You should talk to some of our patrons, the ones who come into our libraries and use our free to them but expensive for us facilities, yet will not support us, because they think we should support ourselves. With no government money, and no tax money, how is that supposed to happen? @edfenster: you don’t. You don’t pay his check, the foundation he works for does. I mean, really! You believe everything Faux News tells you, don’t you?

    You do realize, don’t you, that although they are required by law not to make a profit, they can use the returns that would otherwise be profit for their own expenses, as well as giving them out to other non-profits?

    Sigh, such political gnashing of teeth and rending of garments over a large puppet that tries to teach children right from wrong and to respect and love one another.

    Explain to me again why those lessons are bad things? Why is it OK to use my tax dollars to fund protection for oil companies and dictators in the name of ‘national defense’ but not to teach children to read and be kind to one another?

    We could all use a bit more of Big Bird’s wit and wisdom and a little less of that which passes for ‘wisdom’ from hate mongers …. But history is rife with examples of why that won’t happen easily.

    Sigh.

    It doesn’t matter how noble the project. It is unwise to borrow money you can’t afford to repay. They can afford to pay their own way and they will if they have to.

    No, you’re the one who needs education. Any firm, not-for-profit (to use today’s preferred term) or otherwise, that pulls in $15 million a year does not need to slop from the federal trough. Sesame Workshop does not provide the government any value (before you want to stomp on contractors who do provide direct value and service to the government). What we choose to fund — photographs of crucifixes in beakers of urine, lineups of talking vaginas (including those advocating girl-on-girl rape; check the original script), the slaughter of unborn children — says a lot about the depths of depravity to which our nation has sunk over the last two generations.

    Defunding Sesame Street would be a small price to pay to rid the air of the NPR phonies. Ironic though, by bad mouthing Obama and pimping the pagan they will help him get elected. Did the same thing to Carter in 1980. Which is why I haven’t contributed a dime since 1979.

    @KM, don’t talk to me about education. It is my business. As a librarian, I have to try to reverse the backward thinking of the people that come in. Which people, you say? The conservatives, of course. The ones that try to ban books (my children might learn something about the real world! Oh, horrors!) The ones that tell me that the library is obsolete (by no means, we still need to serve the have-nots, and those that do, but don’t know how to use it). I could go on, but I know that you can’t reason with the unreasonable. By the way, I have a Master’s degree in Library and Information Science, and in college I majored in English with a teaching degree. In order to keep my job relevant, I take refresher courses, keep myself up to date with technology (not an easy task, as things change daily), and also make sure that folks like you do not interfere with the purpose of the library, which is education.

    @angelfire: you are correct. I’ve met many uninformed, biased people on both sides of the aisle. Print books are still needed, by those who can’t or won’t go digital, and by those who still prefer to have books in their hands (count me as one of them). However, the world is being digitalized more each day, and it’s adapt or go extinct. You can’t stop progress.
