Let’s play a little Sesame Street game with today’s headlines. Do you know how these stories:
Why Is Mexico Asking the U.S. Senate for a Registry of U.S. Gun Owners?
Knee-Jerk Reaction? Maryland County Bans All Gun Shows Indefinitely
Are connected directly to these?
College: Fire professor who forced students to vote for Obama
Is TV’s New Cold-War Spy Thriller Anti-American? Producer Admits ‘We Want You to Root for the KGB’
Leading Geneticist: Human Intelligence is Slowly Declining
Many people will not see the connection between these stories, nor would they understand them if they were explained – which is actually one of the primary connections.
[Note: in case you need a hint to figure it out, try “Dewey, Lippmann, Bernays”]
The irony is in your title, B. Who funds Oscar the Grouch? I am not talking about Michelle, else I would’ve mentioned Cookie Monster…..
Kells,
More like Cookie Monster FUNDS Michelle…..and I ain’t even talkin’ fashion.
Brilliant link of seemingly disparate News items Joe … really really well done !!
Don,
Thanks. As I said: I’m trying.
P.S. glad to know I’m not the only one who sees the connections
