Sesame Street: 25 Of My Favorite Memories - Progressive Boink: "The Martians, oh, how I loved those constantly affirming

The girls were raised on Sesame Street. Unlike Barney, it had something for everyone. I liked Elmo, the early Elmo. (that's a joke to references to the early dylan, young, etc. that may be too obscure. I seem to specialize in obscure these days. But I digress.)

That's not much of an issue for most Americans, I think. But to those still appreciative of the benefits of class, it might be.

Tom "Cash and Carry" Delay

Josh Marshall: "When Democrats go corrupt, they betray their principles. And certainly it's happened enough times. With someone like DeLay, there are no principles to betray. It's just money and power from the git-go. And really that means just power. A cash-and-carry operation."
