A thought experiment....
So if the wingnuts took over Sesame Street:
Mr. Hooper's Social Security would be gone, replaced by a federally approved Microsecond Arbitrage (credit: Kurt Vonnegut) mutual fund annuity headed by the geniuses who ran Wall Street ratings agencies and Wall Street in the ground. He'd be working as a bike courier to avoid eviction.
Maria and the Count von Count would be swept up by immigration as suspected al-Qaeda operatives, arrested without probable cause and they would spend 1-1000, 2-1000, 3-1000 days in jail awaiting deportation. Maria's U.S. citizenship from her birth in Puerto Rico would not be recognized due to her failure to produce the original birth certificate from Francisco Franco's Spain.
Bob would be owning a Chik-Fil-A and would be looking at Big Bird as the next entree; he would also be a fundraiser for Focus on the Family and no one would be rude enough to mention his own apparent lack of a heterosexual female wife woman as his obedient helpmeet.
Gordon would be excluded from the Sesame Street under constitutionally permisssible discrimination on the basis of race, the Street having been rendered privater by sale to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints for their administration. Rand Paul makes an appearance to assure viewers that liberty has been maximized - ESPECIALLY Gordon's.
Bert and Ernie would be the token scapegoats on the show; their apartment would be picketed every day by Maggie Gallagher, Elaine Donnelly and the rest of the anti-GLBT crew. They would each have to wear stereotyped leather ass-less chaps, especially Bert. And don't let me get into what happens with that goddamn rubber ducky and Bert doing the Pigeon. Wingnuts will bring in a bunch of Prop 8 YES veterans to work the puppets after the original crew walks out and their union gets locked out.
Oscar the Grouch would quote Glenn Beck and Atlas Shrugged all day in lieu of other more interesting and creative insults.
Big Bird (having shot Bob in self-defense like a good American bird should) would team up with Ted "Bang Bang....." Nugent, and go find Mr. Snuffalupagus, shoot him, field-dress him and eat him.
Grover would gets renamed Grover Norquist, and his primary scene is drowning an FDR doll in Ernie's bathtub.
Cookie Monster would get renamed "Deficit Monster" and instead of cookies he eats the chairs and staplers of fired federal safety and regulatory workers.
If any of this gives you a nightmare, I apologize. This was brought to you by the letters F and U, and the number zero.
