What's wrong with a Postcard from Vermont?

Bush's newly appointed Secretary of Education is scared of bunnies, or PBS, or maybe lesbians. As one of her first official acts in office, she has denounced PBS for spending public funding on producing an episode of a loved children's TV show, Postcards from Buster, because one of Buster's upcoming postcard is from Vermont, where, along with enjoying Sugar on Snow, he visited with a family or two where the kids were lucky enough to have two mommies! WGBH, the Boston PBS affiliate, will make the episode available to other PBS affiliates who wish to air it, but Buster's blog of the visit is only preserved in Google's cached copy (thanks, Google!)

Grrrrrr.... Buster travels the world to expose children to all different kinds of families. The Vermont families visited by Buster for this episode are less than happy about PBS's decision to pull the episode. Me too :(
