Elmo is a Commie and I miss Super Grover

Now I know why that little Sesame Street puppet is red!  The FCC is using Elmo to advocate broadband as a so-called "civil right": http://omaha.peoplespresscollective.org/2010/09/16/fcc-uses-elmo-to-declare-internet-access-a-civil-right/.

Don't you just love propaganda?

Sure, people without jobs need a fast internet connection (paid for by the tax payers) to keep in touch with the other losers who are too lazy to get a job, via Facebook. You know they must be bored from sitting all day, but wait, how can they afford a computer? Next up....computers for the poor and homeless.

Amazing the things they come up with during campaign season.

Oh, good one.  I forgot about the entitlement "civil right" of computers.  A right to broadband is pretty useless unless you have a right to a computer, too.  Good catch!

We must be aware that the government will also be in a position to determine that others' right to access the Nation of Islam (noi.org) exceeds our right to access NFOA.  Beware the Gatekeeper of Zuul.

Haven't you heard?  The "need" of the lazy and incompetent demands that we who produce sacrifice the fruits of our labors to give them what they want.

Ayn Rand called it.  We're sliding into the world of Atlas Shrugged.

Ayn Rand called it.  We're sliding into the world of Atlas Shrugged.

Heh.  Actually, Ayn Rand called and she wants her plot back.  Wouldn't it be a great headline if the Ayn Rand Institute sued Congress and the Obama administration for plagiarism?

I may have to add a reread of Atlas to my Winter book list.
