TODAY'S TOP BLOG PICK
From "Mommy is a Democrat, a "heartwarming children's book" according to one review. So far as I know this isn't required reading in our public schools yet but it certainly should be in every right - thinking household!
Is there a Republican alternative to this dreck? Of course, but, because Republican kids are so much smarter , they can handle a bit of nuance and so the preaching is a little less heavy handed. That book, of course, is: Thidwick, because he has a kind heart, offers a ride on his antlers to, first, a pair of ungrateful squirrels and then an ever-growing succession of free loaders. When his life is threatened Thidwick begs his riders to get off so that he can save his life but they refuse, claiming that their desire for comfort and their "need" for a ride gives them the right to Thidwick's life.
Fortunately, just as hunters are aiming their guns at Thidwick his antlers loosen and he throws off the whole load of beggars. The last pages show Thidwick happily munching on moose grass and the Democrat/animal riders, all stuffed, mounted above the Harvard Club's fireplace. So fitting. I read it to all my children.
