House Won't Cut Public Broadcasting Funds
WASHINGTON - Big Bird and National Public Radio won a reprieve Thursday as the House restored $100 million that had been proposed as a budget cut for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. The 284-140 vote demonstrated the enduring political strength of public broadcasting, whose supporters rallied behind popular programs such as "Sesame Street," "Postcards From Buster" and "The NewsHour With Jim Lehrer."

"Bah!" Indeed.
I just saw a "thank you for lobbying the government for more money for us" letter from them on the table.
I wonder if the wife's keeping secrets from me.
How about if they equalize their income with mine, eh?
