Please don’t kill Elmo
The Bush Administration wants to slash the budget of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. This could have serious consequences:
A spokeswoman for PBS has said that the cuts would be “disastrous” and would undermine PBS’ ability to “support some of the most treasured educational children’s series.”The horror! I mean, I no longer watch Sesame Street (or at least not very often), but my mom insists that the Muppets taught me to read. Plus, Maria was my first crush. I loved it when she played Charlie Chaplin.
And without Bert and Ernie, there’d be no Avenue Q! Super Grover, please save the day. Our inner children are counting on you.
