explaining politics to the very young
We've got kids (one 4 and one 14), and sometimes it's hard to explain the primary campaign to them. I've come up with the following key, which may come in handy for others who face the same predicament:
John Kerry = Pooh
Dick Gephardt = Rabbit
Al Sharpton = Gopher
Howard Dean = Tigger
Wesley Clark = Owl
John Edwards = Piglet
Joe Lieberman = Eeyore
Carol Mosely Braun = Kanga
Dennis Kucinich = Little Roo
George W. Bush = A Heffalump
Dick Cheney = A Woozle
Christopher Robin = The American People

I hate to admit it, but I've never read the original Winnie the Pooh stories ... only the Disneyfied ones.
I'm now inspired ... thank you ...

Explaining? I think they are smarter for what we give them credit for. From the mouths of babes the truth shall speak.
