FIELD REPORT - at 04:00 hours, Seal Team 6 engaged subersives at 123 Sesame Street in OPERATION: IRON AUSTERITY. A precision drone strike on the 47% mooch, Oscar the Grouch, also claimed the life of ELMO, who playfully remarked, "That tickled" before succumbing to his wounds. Our high-value target, The Count, has been detained where he can no longer punch holes in our budget math. The Count: Five! Five trillion new tax cuts!? GITMO Mitt Romney: I like being able to fire Muppets.

Set the Count free & let Big Bird fly home to what’s left of Sesame Street.

Man, I got sad seeing the Count and Oscar is such dire circumstances. This is a depressing ’toon.

What budget math? All the rate cuts will be financed by not cutting loopholes and we’ll make it up on the volume.-No time, no time! People would change the channel!

I believe this is a clear and factual representation of mittens stated plans for PBS and NPR. Maybe it was fortuitous he let this one slip out… oh wait, he’s been saying that all along. Some of us Americans have just not let it sink in until now.-This one turns out to be consistent over time and not one of his infamous flip flops.

MIt and Ryan want PBS, NPR, and Big Bird dead because they actually report news accurately, and teach kids to add, subtract and do basic math: which shoots down all their budget and economic data supporting their other “plans”.
Yup, double down on “defense” at three new submarines a year (for what?), and cut taxes in half or more, and the budget will balance itself. This isn’t “Sesame Street”, it’s the story of 3,000 little pigs in banking and on Wall Street.

Actually, guys, a rep from CTW has said that Sesame Street can survive without federal funding; the show makes enough in the way of license fees, royalties, and corporate donations to where federal funding isn’t needed. As such, the company would much rather Sesame Street be left out of any discussion concerning PBS and its federal funding levels.

As Liberty University takes in more than PBS (all of it, not just CTW) maybe Mitt will cut that funding and shut down THAT abuse of the Constitution??

No worries. If Mitt is elected his cabinet will have plenty of muffits. (Only the names are changed to protect the innocent.)

I don’t know why you got to drag elmo into this.
