Slog - Comments on I Believe the Children Are Our...Um...Yeah... http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/07/i_believe_the_children_are_ourumyeah You might not know it. Oh, no. You might not even believe it. But do you know what I am? Among oh-so many other delightful things? Do you? Well. I’m the fucking champion of America’s children. That’s what I am. Believe it.

Also, your quasi-hipster dissing of small towns is just lame.

Mon, 28 Jul 2008 14:26:43 -0800 Comment by Dougsf No kid wants to read a book with a creepy dudes face on the cover.
