Sometimes, the jokes write themselves. And with Newsbustards, sometimes is pretty much always.

Does anyone here recall Nickelodeon presenting a cartoon homage to President George W. Bush? No? Of course not. "Wrong" politics. However, if you think your very young children are safe from being exposed to subtle political brainwashing while watching Nick Jr., which presents Nickelodeon cartoons for children 5 and under, you would be wrong.

You’d be wrong, alright, because get a load of this insidiously disguised Leninist-Maoist propaganda.

Barack Obama is the first African-American to be President.  That is what’s called a historic event.

Leading a country is no easy task. So what does he do to relax you may ask?

He loves shrimp and linguini and the chili he cooks. He also plays Scrabble; collects comic books.

He likes classical and hip-hop and jazz music too. He always goes shopping for the same type of shoe.

He reads lots of books…

A-ha! Listening to classical music, eating foreign food, wearing utilitarian clothing, reading — see what’s happening here?

Wake up, America! It’s only a matter of time before your toddlers, who you thought were just watching "Dora the Explorer" or "The Backyardigans," will be mindlessly singing the complete text of Das Kapital to the tune of "The Internationale."

Thank God for those vigilant patriots at Newsbustards for catching this stuff.
