House Republicans vs. Big Bird

Oh man, it is on. If you really want to piss off volvo-driving, latte-sipping liberals, try to de-fund public broadcasting.

"A House subcommittee voted yesterday... to eliminate within two years all federal money for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting -- which passes federal funds to public broadcasters -- starting with a 25 percent reduction in CPB's budget for next year, from $400 million to $300 million." (WP)

Of course, this is just the latest step in a long-running campaign to undermine public broadcasting, which is clearly the tool with which the gay atheist feminist socialist liberals are going to successfully brainwash America.
