I loved this book since preschool. note the bubble letters accented with one tasteful serif on the P, 3D, and cloud backgrounds. I was programmed to be a graf writer

It’s a beautiful book, and terribly funny. He just gets more and more agitated… and of course, the monster at the end of the book is himself!

I would note that Grover’s monstrousness is purely the result of othering. He’s no monster!, even if his journey in that book as described above sounds like a Republican having an awakening…

It is not… It’s a very pure story of Grover learning that he’s just perfect and that being a monster is a-okay!

Oh, I know that. But being very anxious and upset about a monster only to realize at the end that you are the monster does seem like a very Republican thing… Except for the self knowledge part.
The message of the book of course is, as you say, very inclusive and humane. Not a Republican thing at all!

I don’t know… I kind of want people to stop comparing republicans to things I love… They don’t deserve to be compared to Muppets… even Sam the Eagle.

Here’s an odd thing i wonder sometimes. What is up with fake marble columns of friont of US homes, especially southern ones? First of all, they’re not marble, not even stone! And second, how did that shit even get started? 
Google hasn’t been any help.

Middle class people trying to look all fancy with columns that look like plantation houses… There are still a good number of those kinds of houses around the city here… although right now, everyone is looking to buy in neighborhoods that either have mid-century modern or craftsman or bungalows.

There’s definitely lots to blame him for. Also, it’s a shame he couldn’t get the texture files on the columns to line up properly.

Yes, sure, but I should’ve been more specific about what I’m wondering: why such a fake, imported thing glommed onto plantation houses? How did that specific aesthetic even start?
Um, did he have that built?

His father in law did. Lee lived there for 30 years until it and the surrounding lands were turned into Arlington National Cemetery
I believe that Lee was the one who chose to have the columns painted to look like marble though [ETA - nope]
