When a young St. Paul boy got to pick the theme for his third birthday party, he didn’t pick Nemo or the Wiggles or Dora the Explorer. He didn’t even pick his favorite sports team.
Henry Schally picked “The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer”.
His mother, Jennifer Schally, designed party hats complete with pictures of the PBS news program’s regular contributors. —3-Year-Old’s Birthday Party Theme: ‘NewsHour’ (WCCO)
Here’s the money quote: “Outside of 6 to 7 o’clock every weekday night, he’s pretty normal,” [the boy’s father] Troy Schally clarified.
Update: The Washington Post’s coverage of Henry Schally’s NewsHour birthday is still online.
Update: Sadly, Henry Schally died in 2013 at age 10.

The Washington Post still has its NewsHour birthday party online.
I think this is probably the fate that awaits my children, except they'll have Sean Hannity-themed parties....with a pinata in the shape of Alan Colmes.
