PBS superstar Fred Rodgers has shuffled off this mortal coil. ☹ This guy was the coolest square going and a real class act in every way. He will be missed. Fortunatly, modern technology will allow my little dude to visit his neighborhood and learn and develop and sing songs and all the other fun, positive things happen on his show. See ya, Fred. The world is a better place thanks to you. * * * ☹ ---

I guess you can shut this one, but I bet Fred doesn’t mind having a couple… * * * Fagjunk Theology: Not just for sodomite propagandists anymore. ---
