And I find an article about that lady who writes conservative books for children, because, I guess, everyone in the world is reading their kids soft-core porn or something and it must be stopped! This woman's kind of a bitch, really, and not that funny either. Come on. I despise Hillary Clinton, I truly do, but if you're going to mock her you need to come up with something better than "Congresswoman Clunkton". Bitch, please. I've seen funnier shit from Freepers and DailyKos, and those people are the most humorless bastards in the world. And calling Madonna "Rayonna" sounds a little racist to me, but what do I know, I'm a RINO.

What really got to me, though, was the comment about liberal bias in children's books. There's the obligatory swipe at Heather Has Two Mommies, naturally, but then she says "...[and] Rainbow Fish, which glorifies socialism."

Bzuh?

A book about sharing, a book which I always thought had some kind of underlying Christian theme (it seems to be popular among the Precious Moments/WWJD jewelry demographic), a book about a sparkly fish...is glorifying socialism? Teaching your kids to share toys in order to be a nicer person at pre-K is now one step removed from goosestepping toward Lenin's tomb? I think I can confidently say that I would not be very comfortable allowing this woman's children to play with Leah, if that's the way the cookie crumbles at her house. Because while I am not the Rainbow Fish's biggest fan--the cartoon is annoying, the book is long and does not flow easily when read aloud, the aforementioned fondess by the precious Moments brigade--it's a kids book. I'm not the target audience. (And also, sparkles!) And to equate the teaching of basic manners to fa-chrissakes socialism is a big fat bucket of crazy and leads to children growing up to be Rick Santorum.

In fact, Marcus Pfister is more than welcome to use that if sales ever start slipping: "The Rainbow Fish--because even one Rick Santorum is too much."

You're welcome.
