Homeland Security-Sesame Street Style

In a move that partners Big Brother with Big Bird. The Department of Homeland Security has decided “to encourage family preparedness plans in the case of emergencies” to brainwash the youngest members of society.

When it comes to securing the homeland, who better to help you sleep at night than various characters from the popular children’s show, “Sesame Street” … ?!?

I’m not joking.

And the Department of Homeland Security represents the biggest expansion of government since the New Deal!

“We all want our children to feel safe in this world,” said Meryl Chertoff, wife of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, at a ceremony held at the John Tyler Elementary School to announce the partnership. “And who better to do that than our Sesame Street friends, Grover and Rosita!”

Grover puts it best in his introductory remarks, published in a pamphlet titled, “Let’s Get Ready!”  Yes, my little darlings they want to indoctrinate you into paranoia. Now remember A is for Al Qaeda.

Truly scary….
