Are they going to use Jimmy Fallon’s Doors-esque interpretation of the old theme music . . . ?

I genuinely believe we have spent way too much money on Leftist idiocies, and we have left our children behind, and that is not OK.

“It was certainly uncommon for me when I was reading those science fiction books when I was a kid to encounter heroes who looked like me,” Burton said. “Gene Roddenberry’s vision of the future was one that embraced me. That vision where people have resolved all of our issues of race and class and sex and economy."

You know, this kind of talk always rubs me the wrong way. My heritage is Mexican and I look it. But being born and raised in this country (as was my father and his parents), I never felt like my heroes had to look like me (or vice versa). I read the same books, watched the same Westerns and Sci-Fi and super-hero TV shows, and idolized the same Rock stars as everyone else and never once thought, "Gee, it should would be something if some of these heroes looked like me!" The thought never entered my mind.

In “Reading Rainbow’s” current iteration, children can watch videos and read books on the Internet with smartphones, tablets or computers.

I imagine The Rush Revere series is a part of that?

Yeah, I don't think so either.

One of Rushes callers should put these guys on the spot by publically donating his book to them.

If he removes that silly looking earring he would be taken more seriously.
