I Guess This Is Why I Never Watch TV
Those of you who watch Paula Zahn on CNN are probably familiar with her Viewers' Choice "Person of the Day" feature.
Well, I happened to catch this yesterday. The three nominees for "Person of the Day" were:
--Bill Clinton, for his work fighting AIDS in Africa.
--The brave students of Red Lake High School, who returned to school for the first time since the deadly shooting spree there.
--The Cookie Monster.
Need I say who the winner was?
Again: the choices were a former President of the United States; the child survivors of a bloody school massacre; and the Cookie Monster.
It was noted that the Cookie Monster, perhaps anti-eponymously, now warns children (due to our heightened awareness of the growing epidemic of child obesity in our nation) that it's OK to eat cookies sometimes, but not all the time.
