Geee,
Wish i could F*up at my job and my boss lets me stay on for an additional year! Hey by the way boss, Can i get a payraise in addition to another year on the job? ;)

Pat Mitchell, who has headed up the network since 2000, will leave when her contract expires in June 2006.

They call that 'stepping down'? BULLoney!

[whereasandsoforth]

The left lives within their on definition of normal. It's assumed that the rest of us are "normal" like them. Its tough to find out your reality doesn't mesh with the majority of good people. PBS can take their lesbians and stuff them where the birds won't fly.

[1FASTGLOCK45]

Yup, those lezz and geys don't fly very straight do they?

[the invisib1e hand]

what a bunch of spineless pussies. I really don't want my tax money going to prop up such leeches.

[cgbg]

And there are federal funds in the '05 and '06 for PBS because...?

This, the NEA and the NEH are funding leftists and have been since the day of their creation. They should all be defunded immediately--no more excuses!

My first job here in MA was working a night shift. So during the day it was either soaps or PBS. PBS back then (20 years ago) had actual educational TV during the day. After the morning big bird, they had math classes, english classes etc. Now they have pretty much cartoons all day. Some are pathetic. There's a new one this year called "bee ber" or somethign like that. It makes the Tele-Tubbies seem like Nobel prize winners.

[PJammers]

Pat?? Is this the same Pat who use to appear on Saturday Night Live?

[MinuteGal]

By June, 2006, everything will be cooled down and forgotten in regards to this woman. She will "change her mind" in answer to "loving pressure from her collegues to remain".

Just another liberal ploy to take the present heat off.

I wonder what her yearly salary is. It should be public record somewhere.

LoL! No kidding! What's up with that?

When I have to fire someone, it's get out the door now, we will sort through your desk and send you your personal items later.

It seems that people in these positions are fired "regretfully", that the "board" actually supports their actions, but for public apearances it's better to fire them.

Is it true that WGBH has an extra character in a neckbrace on Sesame Street called 'Don't Drown Me Elmo'?

[Cagey]

Digital Spy? Talk about twisting a story. They say she "quits amid 'Buster' row", not BECAUSE of the so called "row". I doubt the "Buster Row" has anything at all to do with her leaving.

Is it stuned?

"...reasoning that "we wanted to make sure that parents had an opportunity to introduce this subject to their children in their own time."

Yeah, right. That's why they just "happened" to make a cartoon featuring lesbians even though they had absolutely nothing to do with the subject of the cartoon!!

What the hell do a couple of lesbos have to do with making maple syrup?!? It was nothing more than an in-your-face attempt at indoctrination.

Pajamadeen strikes again.

and American Mystery!, a special about Indians living in the Southwest

Mystery shows loosely based on Tony Hillerman's novels. We got one from the library last week. I thought it was pretty faithful in the characters and atmosphere, although not much resemblance in the actual plot. I hope to find another.

"we wanted to make sure that parents had an opportunity to introduce this subject to their children in their own time."

Gee, thanks for the permission to do so instead of cramming this PC horse snot down our kids throats.

I as the evil thinking parent might tell my child that being a lesbian is a sick and immoral perverted lifestyle and have to explain why "Buster" needs to be made into stew
