I have a simple question: Why do Republicans want to kill Big Bird from Sesame Street so badly?
Romney says he likes Big Bird but implied that maybe he would like Big Bird better served up as a Chik-f'll-a sandwich. Ryan is more straightforward, he just wants to kill Big Bird even though he likes Big Bird. He's tried to kill him the past and will try to kill him in the future. He took seemed to imply that he might prefer Big Bird as a Chik-fil-a sandwich. But don't take my word for it, take his: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/05/rick-santorum-big-bird_n_1942119.html NOTE: Big Bird is a "he", right? Or is he like Bert and Ernie, that is, it's a puppet hence gender neutral (which is supposed to stop questions about Bert and Ernie's living arrangement -- which always made me wonder about Abbott & Costello as well as the Three Stooges). ;-) As psychologists, I think we should be concerned with these signs of attempted birdicide, especially the significance of Sesame Street for psychology. A search of Dissertations Abstracts turns up **1276** dissertations on Sesame Street (or at least containing the phrase Sesame Street). Stop and consider how much more work dissertation advisers would have had to do in coming up with research topics if not for Sesame Street! ;-) -Mike Palij New York University [email protected] --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected].
