I have always believed that regardless of what he said in public, Dr. Seuss was pro-life; at the very least, his income depended on children.

I don’t really believe that the “pro-choice” folks don’t understand that “a person’s a person no matter” where, or how small.
I believe that they DON’T CARE, because it’s more important to take away one of the consequences of choices made prior to conception.
“It’s a deep-dyed ee-vil political plot...”
Hope that tune makes the cut!
“We know what you’re up to, pal,
You’re trying to shatter our morale,
And raise the cost of figs and dates
And wreck our compound interest rates
And shut our schools and steal our jewels
And even change our football rules
Take away our garden tools
And lock us up in vestibules!
But fortunately we’re no fools!
We’re the Wickersham brothers...”
Liberals can’t stand having their own words turned against them.
Maybe he was. It’s really a shame that his wife isn’t, but let us hope that he was.
“who is a supporter of Planned Parenthood, abortion and the homosexual movement”
They all go together, don’t they.
The parallel between Dr. Suess’s story and the pro-life cause is, however incidental, very much apropos. Tough luck for Dr. Suess that the concept and words, “a person’s a person no matter how small,” merit little in the way of unique language or thought, as if no one else may make use of these words in a pro-life context. Meanwhile Mrs. Suess doubtless holds the recipe for beezlenut stew.
The Grinch movie was okay, but unnecessarily long and just plain unnecessary. Besides flipping the characters so that many of the Whovians seemed to have forgotten the meaning of Christmas until the Grinch came along, it was padded even more than the 23-minute cartoon (which, by the way, didn't exactly follow the book -- but Chuck Jones' changes worked great and Boris Karloff's narration just sealed the deal!).
Meyer's as the Cat in the Hat just looked absolutely freaky, so much so that I never had any intentions of seeing that film. The CitH cartoon was a classic in my house when I was a kid; we watched it every year. I've seen it once as a parent and discovered two things: first, "Hey, that's Allan Sherman doing the voice!" and second, it was dreadfully painful to watch as an adult. Oh, well.
I liked the two Horton cartoons as a kid. I hope that they don't screw them up too badly. I'm sure that the rhyme will be tossed out immediately, but hopefully the story will hold up. (Hey, that worked for Madelline, so maybe it could work here, too.)
I just found my new tagline!
The real issue is that WHOre Audrey Geisel. She has pimped out great Dr. Suess books into crap movies! Dr. Suess was very protective of his works. Only really had trust in 1 man to do it right, and that was cartoonist Chuck Jones! The Grinch and Cat in the Hat both sucked.

I’m sad that Dr. Seuss, who was a pretty good guy, got saddled with such a witch for a wife.

“Seek not death in the error of your life, neither procure you destruction by the works of your hands. For GOD made not death, neither has He pleasure in the destruction of the living. For He created all things that they might be; and He made the nations of the earth for health; and there is no poison of destruction in them, nor kingdom of hell upon the earth. For justice is perpetual and immortal. But the wicked with works and words have called it to them, and esteeming it a friend have fallen away, and have made a covenant with it, because they are worthy to be of the part thereof.”
Wisdom 1:12-16
I don't know sir, I've never tried.
Yop! Yop!
Dr Seuss was a lowlife in his personal life. Look into how he treated his ailing longtime wife, and how he carried on with a friend’s wife who later became his second wife.
Rotten man.
