The cost-cutting House Republicans have voted to end funding for NPR and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, causing Liberals to declare that the end of civilization is upon us.

"Do we really want to turn back the clock on Sesame Street," they ask, "and force children into back alleys to learn the alphabet? Should women have to use coat hangers to improve their radio reception to hear All Things Considered?"

And of course, our answer is: "Yes, please! As soon as possible!"

Defenders of the government funding say that the country is already in such incredible, unfathomable, unpayable debt that the nearly half-billion dollars a year received by the CPB is chump change too small to worry about. Which is sort of like saying "when you're standing in the middle of a war zone, how much damage can one little bullet do?"

Liberals also say that without taxpayer funding of NPR and CPB, there will be no programming diversity amongst the nation's other 739 television networks and 43 million radio and Internet stations.

When all else fails, liberals point to Sesame Street, Barney & Friends, and Dora the Explorer and say that these shows are desperately needed to provide education to children who would otherwise only receive tutelage from the highest-paid and most unionized teachers on Earth. When they're not out sick.

Once upon a time, a long time ago (before the Internet and cable TV and trillion-dollar debts, if you can imagine such a thing) NPR and CPB might have made a little sense. But now, they've gone the way of the dinosaur.

Granted, it's a singing and dancing dinosaur - but taxpayers can no longer afford this particular song and dance.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting - Fair and Balanced.
