A long time ago, when I was 22, my first child was born. That kid grew up on a little Canadian kid's show called Polka Dot Door, produced by the TV Ontario network. And Dad, more often than not, sat through those shows with his little one. Nine or so years later when a brother, and a year after that when a sister came along number one son was moving on to Knight Rider and The Dukes of Hazzard. But there was a nice overlap where his siblings picked up where he had left off with Polka Dot Door. And Dad was right there to welcome them. So you're looking at a Polka Dot Door veteran. The show began in 1971 and ran to 1993. I didn't watch the full run but I did get in my fair share. The formula was pretty simple. A young male and female host, which seemed to change every week, sang songs, told stories, made crafts and generally did their best stimulate little brains. The show opened as follows... Imagination Day! Oh boy! ...
It was quite the week on the geopolitical front last week with Iranian President Iamanutjob speaking at the United Nations. Boy he sure stirred things up and many nations walked out on his speech in boycott. President Obama addressed the international forum too but not before a blitz of the media capital of New York in an effort to preach the good word about his health care reforms. In a somewhat muted development Diebold announced they were getting out of the vote counting business. And the editorial cartoonists, bless their hearts, caught it all...

I am so so sick of seeing Obama! The cartoonists have it right!
HA! You pegged that one perfectly!
LMBO! You even got the right rhythm!
That was perfect Noname! Just perfect!
AND...I'm stumbling you. (I always forget to do that! But you are more than worthy of stumbling!)
Don: Man, Don, you never cease to amaze me. That was a mighty obscure analogy. I had to look up "krill" to realize you were making a Red Lobster reference. LOL
Quirks: Thanks for the st-st-stumble
Loved the "President Iamanutjob" thing. Awesome.
