I wonder which one is the top?

1. I'm surprised it took them this long to admit it

It's always been obvious Bert and Ernie were gay.

I wonder...if Sesame Street is in Massachusetts, and Bert and Ernie get married, how many freeper/teabagger/talibornagain heads are going to explode?

4. If they get married on the show, I don't think it will just be Freepers getting upset

Some moderates will have heart failure, and I bet even a few here will frown.

2. Aw, jeez, then how do you explain Peppermint Patty?

She's my neighbor, and she's cool. Her partner has a nice dog.

3. That story is from last year and so was the 'outrage.'

Long forgotten.
