A CHILDREN'S SHOW
We Watch on Television and Trust What the Characters There Tell Us. Because we trust them and know that they have only our best interests at heart. No character here would do us harm because they want us to have a future that is bright. Our happy show will be on forever. Maybe even longer than that. At some point we will grow up Some of us don't want to grow up, but all of us must. Or do we?
THE DOWNING STREET THEME SONG
Scary Days
Nukular clouds, Okay?
We’re on the way where Iraq gets beat
Can you tell me how to get,
How to get to Downing Street?
Come and say
Everything’s A-OK
And when we get there
Roses at our feet
Can you tell me how to get
How to get to Downing Street
It's a magic carpet ride
Every door will open wide
To Happy people like you--
Happy people like
What a beautiful
Sunny Day
Sweepin' the clouds away
On my way to where the air is sweet
Can you tell me how to get,
How to get to Downing street...
How to get to Downing Street
How to get to...
GROWING UP IS PAINFUL. It Means Taking Responsiblity for What You Have Done. At some point you realize other kids are affected by what you do. Some kids see this and yet retain some of the child in them forever in a good way. Some kids don't see this and think they can name the game forever. As adults, even with a touch of the child in us, we don't have to endlessly play one kid's game. Or do we?
OUR LITTLE PLAYGROUND HAS GROWN BLOODY. Some of The Kids Won't Be Coming Back from Recess. The teachers won't tell us what happened, but some of us thiink we know. We would tell our friends we loved them. All of us are sad to see them go.
I heart Heretik.

Very good and very sad. Kool-Aid goes well with cartoons.

And you all know what Bush and Ernie like with their Kool-Aid...crackers, anyone?

So appropriate--good job. Bush is pathologically immature and has learned nothing from the mistakes he made in his early life. All he learned was to hand over responsibility to a God he thinks is always on his side. Sad, really.

Excellent! Even my 4.5 year old is learning accountability - please, thank you, I'm sorry - and has consequences for misbehavior. She gets it - why can't Bush!!
