RE; Dr. Seuss and Paula Deen and, yes, there is a connection. Some comments on your column in today’s Miami Herald on a brash young Senator with less than 2 year’s experience daring to lecture both his elders and betters. Can you think of any other Senator who did that? Let me give you a hint. His initials are B.O. and even though he lives in public housing his 2 kids go a $52,500 a year per child grammar school

Ms. Fabiola,

Alas, I only got to the end of your second paragraph.

No mention of Dr. Seuss was ever heard in my house when my 2 children were being raised. Each of them has 2 degrees and have held professional licenses in 4 states. I mention that to show that they were able to overcome their stilted learning environment.

40 years ago, Paula Deen used the dreaded “N” word, the word that White folk dare not use. Since Dick Gregory had not yet published his extraordinary autobiography we know that Paula was not looking for a book . For this she has been exiled to one of Jupiter’s lesser moons. Lower cholesterol might be a benefit of her banishment.

Back in the magic time, the days between August 22, 1939 and June 21, 1941, a time that modern American Liberals desperately want to disappear, a time when modern American Liberals thought that Adolph Hitler was an OK guy, one of the biggest cheerleaders was the man who wrote the Dr. Seuss stories. Qui tacet consentire. By his silence he said it was OK to put Jews in the oven. I chose not to have him lecture my children.

Should I ever adopt the modern American Liberal custom of burning books his will be among the first to be tossed on to the pyre.

I may have to wait for Lent to get past your first 2 paragraphs.
