...The One-Minute Pundit

We are sorry to hear Art Clokey, Gumby's father, has died. Gumby's one of those things I never paid much mind to in my youth, or if I did was it in derision -- look at the silly stop animation! and those silly looking toy fire engines! Hear that silly stock music! -- but somehow the BOOMERS did to this what they did to STAR TREK and JEOPARDY!!!!! and made it an ICON!!!!! (favorite news-hack word for when he's not thinking). That fact alone means we can't go back to the simple virtue that made Gumby just time-wasting filler for the afternoon kiddie-show hosts. Thomas Wolfe was right.
