1. And here's why I care little for Big Bird in this debate. . .

The issue shouldn't be so much that Romney wants to "do away with Big Bird," but that he believes trimming a "nothing" item from the budget will make a wit's bit of difference in the whole scheme of things.

That he desires to strip away from children and parents -- indeed from all of us -- an exceptionally useful part of our lives speaks volumes to how little he understands the American people. That he believes this will in any measure impact our current financial struggles speaks volumes to how little he understands the budgetary process.
