TBP – THE ISLAND OF MISFIT TOYS

This is the 50th Anniversary of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer appearing on network TV. I really am old. Watching this show was always a highlight of the Christmas season for a little kid in the 60’s and early 70’s. We only had about 8 TV channels in those days. For a little kid still believing in Santa Claus, this was an almost magical show. It still holds up well after all these years.

I think TBP is like the island of misfit toys. The people who read and comment on TBP don’t fit in. We are simply misfit for today’s warped delusional society, so we have taken up residence on the island of TBP. As I watch in wonder what passes for truth and economic policy in this empire of debt, I feel like a Charlie in a Box. Does anyone else feel the same?
