Overheard off Sesame Street:


Kermit

"Wow, Big Bird. So these leaks about telephone and Internet surveillance by the U.S. government all came from a geeky looking defense contractor who washed out when he tried to join the army reserves. And not only that, he supported Ron Paul in the 2012 election campaign—the same Ron Paul who is the father of Rand Paul, who is planning to run for president in 2016. What is the world coming to when you can't count on defense contractors to keep their big mouths shut? This guy who didn't graduate from high school brought the largest democratic nation in the world to its knees!"

"I'm just being a wiseass, Big Bird, you are as bright as you need to be, and that's a good thing, and there isn't a nicer creature on this earth, or anyone better at rolling a good joint. Now I've got to do some thinking, though."

"Thinking about what, Kermit. And he was only kidding about rolling joints,
RIGHT KERMIT?"

"Only kidding, right. But what I'm trying to think up a way to somehow blame Elmo for all of the national security leaks. I'm thinking if I took a couple of hundred of those "Tickle me, Elmo' dolls and changed them to 'Spill the Beans, Elmo' and put in special recordings leaking military secrets, and then put them on to store shelves, we can get the FBI involved and take that little bastard down."

"I don't know Kermit. That seems like an implausible plan. Why don't you just go get Miss Piggy to beat him up or something? The world knows he has it coming."

"Or maybe I'll just sit her and plot and scheme… without ever doing anything. Sometimes, Big Bird, the scheming is just as much fun as the doing."
