The argument to cut PBS funding when there are so many more wasteful programs in line ahead of it makes the whole idea seem a bit petty. Can its budget be reduced? Can PBS do more for itself? Probably. But commercial-free programming for children is a good thing in this world. Even with no kids, I am happy to pay for that.

SHERLOCK: Tell me how to get to... It just trails off--what could it mean?



HOBO: Maybe the media actually is biased?

MITTENS: Maybe with good reason.
