Subject: [Puptcrit] Sesame Street's new fairy


If you have visited Old Salem, Massachusetts, or read anything about its history, you'd know that some religious nuts there killed witches or suspected witches, none of whom had the magic charm of the new Muppet on Sesame Street.  Apparently a lot of people still haven't learned a damn thing about tolerance, AND terrorists are not limited to just one religious faith.

The people who are afraid of "witchcraft" hated Harry Potter too, whose magic taught a whole generation of kids to read, just like Sesame Street did for more than a generation.  We can use a lot more of that kind of magic.

Speaking of magic, The Los Angeles Guild of Puppery celebrates 50 years of puppet magic in October at THE MAGIC CASTLE IN HOLLYWOOD on a Sunday afternoon.
