my prediction(s) for sesame street -

eLmo Learns the error and sin of his gay LifestyLe choice, and repents.

bert & ernie spLit up.

no more aduLts hanging on the stoop or at mr. hooper's since they're too busy working.

maria - deported.

biLinguaL education - so gone!

and my favorite change:

today's episode has been brought to you by the books of job, and Leviticus.

16. Conservatism is dead
The second PBS gets with the program on something, it goes out of fashion. You heard it here first!

6. NOVA replaced by the 700 club
Edited on Mon May-02-05 01:09 PM by MadAsHellNewYorker
classical music out for gospel

tel-a-thons replaced by pray-a-thons

"in the life" is so gone

and of course, no more live broadcasts of presidential debates, and other political events, unless it is a bush-infomerical

15. working on the weekend?
Edited on Mon May-02-05 01:22 PM by MadAsHellNewYorker
i hate having to do that. it makes me feel like im in an endless loop of work for 2 weeks straight.

Im doing ok, in a bit of a funk this afternoon...this morning it was beautiful and sunny out and I was so happy...now its dark and cloudy and it looks like its gonna pour. I also got an e-mail from "an old flame" (i guess that is the best way to put it) and it kinda brought me down a bit. Not that he said anything bad, he just gave me a link to his blog and (hes an art student) there are a few pieces that struck a cord, just kinda capturing us and me...

alas...

I need a day off really...wanna catch a game of putt-putt? I have never played real golf other then at the driving range ;)

24. Ted Nugent will be a guest on Sesame Street
He will hunt, kill, and eat Big Bird as a lesson in survivalism and how animals were put here by God for us to consume.

19. I expect Sesame St. to become a lot whiter.
Look for Cookie Monster to develop an addiction to Oxycontin and the associated hearing loss.

Big Bird will be killed off during hunting season.

Also expect those songs about numbers and letters to sound a lot like new country.

28. The Car Talk guys talk exclusively about Hummers.
Garrison Keillor moves his show to Podunk, Georgia.

Terri Gross interviews Ann Coulter, just because.

Ira Glass has to get a job. And he makes a self-deprecating radio show about it. :evilgrin:
