Back when I was in grade school, we did the social studies 'write the embassy' thing. From Nicaragua (this is in 1982) we got a TON of childrens books in Spanish which being childrens books I could read. They were of course all heavy in communist propaganda but they were still less political than Captain Planet.

I fucking hate people who try to indoctrinate other peoples kids to their political view point, period. I see it on the left far more then on the right, but I’m sure there are examples.

That would be Ted Turner et el.

We've been reading Curious George Takes A Train. It starts out "This is George. He is a good little monkey and always very curious. Today, George and his friend, the man in the yellow hat, are taking their friend Mrs. Needleman on a picnic to the country."

I am left wondering why, in the 1950's, a married woman is going to the countryside with a zookeeper unescorted except for a troublesome monkey. I've decided that they're having an affair.

And I'm happy that the man in the yellow hat is getting some. It answers the question of why George lives with him instead of the zoo.

I read this horrible book today at work called "Mouse in Love."

Anthropomorphic mouse whines: "She loves me...she loves me not...she loves me...she loves me not...looking all over the world for the perfect mouse for me...turns out it's the mouse next door!" Yeah. It was sappy. I almost vomited.

Plus, the entire time I was thinking about mice really being "in love." Gross.
