My daughter is a big fan of the PBS show Arthur. Too be honest, I like it too, especially the Postcards from Buster segments. Buster even has a blog. For those of you without young kids, Buster (a bunny) flys around the USA with his pilot dad visiting interesting places.
By the way, we've seen episodes on the Chinese New Year in San Francisco, Lebanese Christians and Orthodox Jews in New York, Hmong in Madison, Muslims in Chicago and many episodes on Hispanics in the Southwest. We also saw square-dancers in Kentucky and surfers in Cocoa Beach lest one be overwhelmed by the multiculturalism.
So Buster is going around the county, but he might as well be going around the world. I was reminded of the derision heaped upon non-passport holding Americans by Michael Moore. Passports? With all these ethnic groups living here in the US, we don't need no stinkin' passports.
