Today's program has been brought to you by the letter L and the number 54,232,617.

So team Obama puts out an ad using Big Bird and it turns out they did not ask permission, Sesame Street has asked Obama to pull the ad.

The letter L stands for liberals and lies.

In fact their singularly stupid focus about cutting the PBS subsidy says all you need to know about liberals.

Where PBS is concerned we are still operating in a 1960's funding model when there was limited programming available.  That isn't the case anymore with the explosion of cable, satellite and internet programming there is no lack of educational programming, in fact there is more of it than ever.

There is no reason for our  government to assist in funding something that exists in large supply in the marketplace.

And what is the liberal's view?  To cut funding for something that should be able to support itself in the free market is considered a ridiculous position to them.  A position worthy of being ridiculed, a position worthy of creating political attack ads using trademarked material without permission apparently.

Payroll by Sesame Street in 2009 was $54,232,617.  This from an outfit that produces 26 new episodes per year.  How many 1%ers are in that $54,232,617?  (For the record that is the answer to the guess the number post a few posts below this)  If you'd like to see their 2009 tax return here it is...

Does this look like an organization with a cash flow problem?  Gee they spend money on Tickle me Elmo advertising, why couldn't they sell some advertising of their own in order to support their bloated payroll?

Saturday night I saw old hateful Tom Barrett on the TV at a Paul Ryan event saying the people want us to attack Wall Street not Sesame Street.  Sorry Tom, pulling funding from an outfit capable of supporting itself is not an attack.  And for the record why do you wish to attack the financial center of our country where my retirement money and union pension funds are invested?  Do you not understand the fact that when you attack Wall Street you hurt all of us?  No he doesn't, liberals attack business at every opportunity.  But Tom Barrett is apparently in favor of government subsidies for millionaire puppeteers.

Tom Barrett, Barack Obama and the others liberals think the path to prosperity is to attack business, regulate and tax more and continue to choose rich people that they like to give money borrowed from China to.  That's not political spin, that is a fact.

Frankly the liberal reaction to this should tell you all you need to know about the letter L and the number 54,232,617.
