Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling for October 12, 2012

Y’know, with that widow’s peak, maybe Ryan is the Count’s evil, innumerate twin.

Yeah, Ryan does have that wild eyed look about him. The difference is that the Count teaches us real math not fuzzy math.

Did you ever wonder why the Romney-types don’t want to cut military spending? They want us to be safer? Hardly! They get the lucrative military contracts that really do little for our safety. THAT is their part of the gummint handouts.

The Count’s evil twin? Evil, sure… but he’s still Eddie Munster to me.

Ryan IS the Count’s Evil Twin; Count Badly!

Mitt IS a corporation, my friend.

“Will you throw me into debt, into debt on Sesame Street?”

With all due respect to The Who

Ryan know what it’s like to be the bad man to be the sad man behind blue eyes.

Parents know we got our money’s worth with Sesame Street.

I am in the minorty again but PBS should have commercials. I mean they have some good shows and it is about time they help pay for themselves. There are tons of companies that would pay to advertise on some of thier shows and they can use the extra from the muppets to pay for painting shows

ronald rini – If PBS had commercials it would be the same as any other network, and would be beholden to advertisers to produce shows that hit the proper demographics. Or to put it another way: Why don’t the current networks produce shows like those on PBS, if they would attract the advertising dollars of ‘tons of companies’?

And all the money the oil companies get from the government! The taxpayers should get a piece of that pie, too! But all they get is the shaft of $4 and $5 gallon gasoline.

Mitt and Paul are out to get rid of the poor. Leave them without healthcare, take away their kid’s schools, They think there are too many of us. I used to think the government paid for hearing aids, no they don’t and the little help we get, Romney is going to take away. We are supposed to be of , for, by, the people. It has changed already and is by, for, and of the rich. The real re-distribution of wealth has been going on for years, and it is not tricking down but flowing up.

If medical journals weren’t dependent on pharmaceutical advertising we would have unbiased publishing of clinical trials for drugs. If PBS took ads, we would have educational programming biased by the preferences of the advertisers.

If that is supposed to be the Muppet News Anchorman, he’s got to be related to Bert ….

When we pay taxes to fund our fire departments, do we demand our money back if our own house does not burn down? If we are not invaded by an opposing force do we seek refunds from the military? If everything is quid pro quo, what do we get from monetary extremists who conjure profits from arcane language in byzantine financial deals? Keep Sesame Street, and chase out the profit-addicts who would turn the United States into a dystopian casino.

I thought you progressives were all against federal subsidies for rich people… “Sesame Street” brings in hundreds of millions, and don’t need federals subsidies…

On Sesame Street, the character Mitt looks most like is Guy Smiley, man of many occupations – most memorable singing “Gone with the Wind” as everything and everyone blows away!
