Go, Dogs, Go!

I happened to tune into a marvelously interesting documentary on Theodore Geisel last night on PBS. It was titled "The Political Dr. Seuss", and covered Geisel's early work as well as the childrens' books many of us grew up on.

One lovely anecdote was the time Art Buchwald challenged Ted by accusing him of never having written a political book. Geisel promptly picked up a copy of his book "Marvin K. Mooney Will You Please Go Now!", drew a line through every mention of Marvin's name and replaced it with Richard M. Nixon. This, of course, drew gales of laughter from Art. He talked Geisel into letting him publish the resulting text in his syndicated column.

Nine days after it appeared, Richard Nixon resigned.

Ted told Art they should have done it years before.

And in that vein, let's hope we can get a similar result; the sooner the better.
