“Me Want Cookie”

“Me Want Cookie”

Well, I was hoping to lay down this pen for awhile but after watching last evening’s election I am compelled to speak up.

Big Bird became a big distraction this election year but I am more captivated by the super friendly Cookie Monster character right now. The only thing Cookie Monster wants from every episode of Sesame Street I watched as a kid is “more cookies, me want more cookies….OMM-nom-nom-nom..." Well, the cookie jar is very much empty now (17 trillion in debt is implosion like empty). Miss Piggy has the latest Hollywood bling but is broke as could be. And Big Bird, which may become our national bird, now victoriously carries the mantel for more Big Government. The majority of Americans have voted for a re-run of the muppets instead of choosing Mr. Rogers; a voracious appetite prevails over self-control, more cookies over more principles and discipline, and more entitlements instead of donning work shoes and going to work.

I just hope and pray our country can withstand four more years of this entertainment mentality. Meanwhile, we don’t lose hope in the midst of all this change because we really know Who is pulling the strings and we will work for better days for Main Street and The America we hold near and dear.
