If kids weren't watching Howdy Doodee back then, they were getting their arms scraped in the dirt or climbing trees, or throwing rocks at one another outside.

You bet! We spent hours outside playing unPC things like cowboys and Indians with realistic-looking six-shooter cap guns that made loud noises. Man, that was fun!

This is actually an endorsment of Ken Tomlinson. He's obviously very effective.

:-)

My dad and his friends used to play cowboys and indians back in the days. There was a girl who had a crush on my dad and always wanted to play with them, so they gave her a broken pistol.

Isn't Kenneth Tomlinson a Clinton appointee?

Yes. But he was also a Reagan appointee (Voice of America). He is a diehard conservative.

"The children! Think about the children!"

Bullpuckey!

This censorship squad is twiddlin their dee for a good old fashioned book burning. "Throw Coulter and Hannity on fire." But if we dare say a mean word about their fata$$ darling Micheal Moore, why that's CENSORSHIP. These people are either true believers or useful idiots for 'the cause'

You want real fire and brimstone, bring back HUAC. Let's see how many of these Rosenberg-lovers are actual card carriers.

Fast Eddie Markey, whose efforts to help bring DOWN our cable bills wound up making them go UP.

My friends and I played army in my friends backyard during the day and snuck out late at night for 'commando missions' which would consist of either egg throwing at neighborhouses or a little dingdong ditch. My mom (a useful idiot) would cringe when she saw me shooting my imaginary gun. I have had my share cuts, scrapes, bruises and a near fractured skull. I turned out to be pretty well adjusted. These commiecrats want nothing less than pu$$ified men. not this pig.

Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.), founder of the Bipartisan Congressional Public Broadcasting Caucus, emphasized that the cuts would hurt what he sees as a unifying force in the country.

“Today, because of the multiplicity of choices, we really don’t have that national voice that once united us,” Blumenauer said. “NPR, PBS are as close to a national voice as America has any more.”

Typical Portland lawyer: thinks that PBS is America's "national voice".

Earl, you are an uber-wonk and really need to get out of both DC and Puddle City more often. Spend some time with farmers in Hood River or Baker. They'd laugh out loud at your notion that PBS has anything resembling a major role in their lives.
