Sesame Street Becomes Newly Relevant
In honor of President Bush's exciting, expensive plans to establish a lunar base (a lesser person than myself would insert something snarky here, like asking whether Don Rumsfeld thinks the moon needs a regime change), I present you with a little song.
When I was a little kid, I used to cry whenever Ernie the Muppet would sing this piece. My mother worried about my emotional health.

Now you can worry about my emotional health. I cried when I read this. I miss you!!! You are fun to read. Hats off to Josiah for getting the blog thing going.
