... and Phineas T. Bluster is this country's most popular radio host.
The term 'peanut gallery' used to refer to the balcony of a theatre where
the - warning, an outdated term here - 'colored' were required to sit. They
allegedly ate peanuts up there, thus the term.
The Howdy Doody show would be pilloried (also outdated - know what it
means??) today for using such a reference. Incidentally, it was the
bleachers where the kids/guests of the show would be seated.
How would Native Americans take to Princess SummerFallWinterSpring??
Who was the first Clarabell??
