Bush Battles Bunny


Several local public broadcasting stations may defy the Bush administration and PBS and air an episode of the animated children's series Postcards from Buster that features an animated bunny visiting a real family headed by a lesbian couple, the Los Angeles Times reported today (Friday). Earlier this week, the program was denounced by the Department of Education's new secretary, Margaret Spellings, who said that the Department's "purpose in funding this programming certainly was not to introduce this kind of subject matter to children, particularly through the powerful and intimate medium of television." PBS subsequently announced that it would not distribute the episode, but denied that the education secretary's views played a role in its decision. WGBH-TV in Boston, which produces the Postcards from Buster series that includes the controversial episode, said that it plans to air it, pointing out that a condition of the government funding was that the program expose children to cultural diversity. The Times said that other stations will decide whether to run the episode after previewing it over the next few days.

They'd really have to work hard to make something with an animated bunny AND lesbos bad.

Yep, can't have kidz exposed to anything dangerous like reality.  And there's certainly nothing more important that the gubmint might want to focus on now.

Is the whole damn administration a pinata of idiocy?  Seems like anywhere you hit it, something stupid falls out.  :P

I wish Washington DC would be attacked by Aliens, then Bill Paxton could be our President.

And I'd be perfectly cool with that.  Who knew the dinosaurs were coming by just looking at his cup of water?  And who looked good in leather doing it?  And who starred in the more tolerable sequel of that movie?  It be Jeff.

And I could continue on with my life in peace, since I'm so far out in the sticks that it'd take the aliens so long to affect my area that I'd probably be dead of old age.

I was referring to Jurassic Park not Independence Day, Faye.  Just in case I confused you there.

I sympathize to the point where I didn't like them being rude about it, but honestly I wouldn't want some Republican interrupting my "Married With Children" either.
