Money To Blow

Instead of Big Bird, as we suggested (Yellow Bird), our favorite "Dumbass" David Goodner went to the Romney rally dressed as Elmo.

I was surprised the Ragister referred to them as ragtag.

This bunch despise the 1% and Wall Street, but are big fans of Sesame Street because that is their intellectual level and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Sesame Street, more like Wallet Street, is part of the 1% with 2011 total revenue of $134 million and their total assets are valued at $289 million.

Former Sesame Workshop CEO Gary Knell earned $988,456 in the fiscal year that ended in June 2011, and the current CEO, H. Melvin Ming, made $584,572 during the same period, records show.

“Carroll Spinney, who has played Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch since the show’s inception, earned more than $314,000 in compensation in 2011.” 

Time to leave the nest and go free, Bird.
