  1. Recent news articles only (past 30 days)
  2. Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
  3. Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).
  4. Be civil; no hate or personal attacks.
  5. No link shorteners
  6. No entire article in the post body

"Show me where on touch-me Elmo Elmo touched you"

I mean, raising kids in the Elmo days, after growing up on a Sesame Street without him? Damn right Elmo hurt me. He's not quite Caillou bad... but he nuked the show's enjoyability.

You know, if republicans responded to the elmo sign with a Caillou sign saying "No money for PBS if they show this little asshole", they'd have a point.

The best advice on this I could ever give you is, do not ever, even for a second, rely on Republicans telling the truth ever.

EVER.
