One Man’s Propaganda is Another Man’s PSA

Did any of you watch the Cartoon Network Hall of Games Awards with your kids or grandkids last week? If not, don’t feel guilty. Neither did anyone else. Even though Lady M was on, promoting our “No Child’s Fat Behind” program. She just wanted to tell kids to eat their veggies, preferably organic, because their parents aren’t informed enough (yet) to tell them themselves.

I’ve got to run now, we’ve got another Big White Awards show this afternoon! It’s the 2010 National Medal of Arts and National Humanities Medal. You’re not going to want to miss this one! Meryl Streep is one of our winners this year! I’m giddy with anticipation.

In the meantime, why don’t you all run out and grab some lunch. Just be sure to choose wisely, there will be consequences!
