The Political Dr. Seuss

At the risk of putting possible new readers to sleep, I normally try to distance myself from the whole politics "thang." It's like Charles Durning said in one of my favorite holiday films, Home For The Holidays: "Opinions are like assholes: Everybody has one and everyone thinks everyone else's stinks." So eloquently put. However, judging from reading a lot of other people's blogs lately, it seems I'm not the only one who's breaching the topic lately.

With that said, I just wanted to bring to anyone's attention who's interested, an upcoming special I saw advertise on PBS, while watching the presidential debate a few weeks ago. On Tuesday, October 26, PBS will be airing a documentary entitled The Political Dr. Seuss (check your local listings for time and channel). For those who didn't know (me included), early in Dr. Seuss' career (1940's), he did a stint as a political editorial cartoonist. Being the pop culture fan that I am, I thought the show looked interesting. "Fun is good."
