Horton Hears Nuestro Himno

You think it's bad these darned aliens want to sing our national anthem in Spanish, brace yourself. It gets worse. Try El Gato Ensombrerado on for size. That's right. The Cat in the Hat has gone Espanol and has breached the borders of my all-American household. (Okay, all-Guatemalan-Mexican-Irish-German-Belgian-French-Spanish-
Cherokee-English-Swiss household -- in descending order of percentages). My bilingual wife, thumbing her lovely Hispanic nose at American patriotism, believes our children should grow up bilingual as well. Can you believe it? Right here in my own house people are going around speaking Spanish! And even calling traditionally American things -- like plates and fun-- by their Spanish names. This hurts real Americans. No wonder Rush Limbaugh is addicted to painkillers. When Dr. Seuss showed up in a sombrero I really saw for the first time how out-of-hand things have become. These Spanish speakers are going to be singing our national anthem and reading the children's literature canon in Spanish and actually understanding them!! The next thing you know you won't be able to tell them from ordinary everyday Americans like us and then where in the hell are we going to be? Horton Eschucha a Quien! A who? A what?
