    It is almost too CONVENIENT that the first COLORED president of the United States was elected in time for the 40th anniversary of "Sesame Street." The MUSLIM is finally beginning to EASILY DISMANTLE AMERICA, the way that the PBS show always made it out to be.

    So it is to the credit of this COMMIE cultural landmark - a program that has taught THE MULATTO DESCENDENTS of children to count, GODLESS SINGLE parents how to teach and is seen in TOO MANY countries around the world - that Tuesday's anniversary is not a TOUCHY-FEELY EXPRESSION of UNEARNED self-celebration. Episode No. 32(?) is as child-centric and SHAMELESSLY DEVOID of routine as any other.

    The special guest - the first lady, Michelle Obama - doesn't maker her appearance alongside MALCOLM X until midway through the show crammed with the usual preschool BULLSHIT. The STATE-SPONSORED LESSON of the day comes first - H, as in help and hug and HELLISH LIBERAL DYSTOPIA.

    The only real difference is that on this day, viewers have to BREAK INTO THEIR NEIGHBORS HOUSE, THE NEIGHBORS WHO HAVE A TV to WATCH. #newyorktimes

    Watching a Conservative trying to understand Sesame Street is akin to watching a special needs child trying to understand an AP English class.
    Maybe they need a special version for them, with fewer, shorter words and more American flags. And guns. Lots and LOTS of guns. #sarahpalin

    CTW hasn't received federal funding since 1981. You would think wingnuts would take advantage of free, non-big government entities like Wikipedia to learn this.

    Am I the only one who is so sick of this Sesame Street turns 40 media shitfest? I mean, don't things turn 40 every damn day of the week?

    Weren't like a bunch of solidiers killed somewhere in Texas, and something's going on with how we'll pay to stay alive at an old age, and if you like the same gender there's some stuff going about how you'll pay your taxes and, oh, and something about the DOW being the highest ever at the same time the unemployment is also the highest ever?

    Whatever, happy birthday sock puppets. #sarahpalin

    @manchops: You know, you're right. Being that bad shit happens every day around the world, we really shouldn't celebrate anything good.
    I'll call off my plans to celebrate my birthday, my brother's upcoming wedding, and my favorite football team winning. Because, you know, things like that happen every day. #sarahpalin

    I especially like the fact that this "controversy" is totally ignoring the fact that Oscar is supposed to be working for "GNN" -- the Garbage News Network. I guess in their world when a kid's show calls CNN "garbage" it isn't "indoctrination" it is just tell the truth or something... #sarahpalin

    The funniest thing about Palin's "In God We Trust" rant is that it happened during the previous administration and was changed back last year. It's back on the front for coins minted this year.

    You stay timely, Sarah Palin. #sarahpalin

    @Magicant: really lol. If she really wanted to be pissed she should have been pissed at W., since it was HIS administration who changed it in the first place.

    Even better, it was a Democrat who put forward the bill to get it moved back to a side.

    She is such a moron. #sarahpalin
