The Democrats cannot find new issues: I remember that when House Speaker Newt Gingerich wanted to trim PBS funding almost eighteen years ago there was an editorial cartoon that featured to panels: the liberal side of the equation showed Big Bird being served up on a platter like a Thanksgiving turkey; the conservative side had Gingerich exhorting the highly profitable “Sesame Street” program, as represented by “Big Bird” to flap its own wings and learn to straighten up and fly right.
Off topic: years ago, I recall Mad Magazine running a wildly funny parody of the leftist “Sesame Street” called “Reality Street.” Mister Hooper, the elderly grocer who used to be featured on the program, was chasing away thieving street punks with a broom.
