"Gloom and doom?" Ahhhh... ya mudda's mustache! G'wan witcha. If ya can't see da fix we's in... welll... ya aint got BRAIN ONE!
So dig this: some of COTO (Coalition Of THE Obvious) are kittys! That's right... cats! Why, these kittys even let the ants talk! And the ant says some straight-up stuff about our place in the Universe. I betcha a Shadow Dancer would approve! So when I heard of the Pinky Show, I thought about Pinky Lee and not these guys... girls... cats. It's a low-tech hand-drawn educational-style show.
Pinky helped me explain why the Iraq invasion is an "illegal war" to some of the thicker members of the email list. Too commie-pinko liberal? How about swords into plowshares? Is that commie-pinko liberal? I'm used to being called a pinko... because I think the Marxian social theory is at least worth thinking about. But after hearing Pinky read Global Mind Change, well call me pinko until your lips fall off.
It's the best voice I've heard since my daughter had me listen to Pink. Pinky the cat does not sound preachy and irritating as us old gekken are prone to sound. We don't mean it that way... but "...how can you sleep when the rest of us cry?"
And while the rest of us network our credentials and talk about our Emmy and our Grammy and our sweet home Alabammy and the Pulitzer on top of our Wurlitzer... Pinky does quite well just being a curious kitty. Written superbly... spoken beautifully... all the things that should be obvious. The "war on drugs." GMO s. Fear, Agression and Empire. Globalzation.
Let Pinky do the talking!
