Please, please, please let us win this election... from a blurb on cnn about Palin...
Stein says that as mayor, Palin continued to inject religious beliefs into her policy at times. "She asked the library how she could go about banning books," he says, because some voters thought they had inappropriate language in them. "The librarian was aghast." That woman, Mary Ellen Baker, couldn't be reached for comment, but news reports from the time show that Palin had threatened to fire Baker for not giving "full support" to the mayor.
Banning books? Are you serious? I'm going to bed.
Growin' up gorgeous

Amen! I don't care if it is sexist to say that she's unqualified, SHE'S UNQUALIFIED! My MOM could have run for that matter! Bah! What a bunch of hypocrits!
P.S. I love the Daily Show's thing by Samantha Bee mocking McCain's obvious pandering to women. As a Vagina-American, I'd vote for her....
book banning.
I'm soooo fucking sick of people trying to tell me what I can and can't do.
THE BOOKS ARE KILLING OUR CHILDRENS' MINDS!!!
The Daily Show coverage has been very funny.
I think that since McCain could croak any minute we need to be especially aware of his potential veep's qualifications. It kills me that half of the people the Republics are pandering to are likely to be against a woman being president. As Dave said to me the other morning when we were discussing Palin, seems that mcCain is making a desparate move.
From Liberman's speech last night.
"eloquence is no substitute for a record"
What exactly is the record of the person you're putting in line behind the 72 year-old, multiple cancer scare candidate?
My money is on Palin dropping off the ticket in the coming weeks.
I don't know about desperate but it sure seems dumb.
I'm saving copies of Catcher in the Rye and the Tin Drum for Kaia as we speak, just in case. Throwin' in some Penthouse and High Times for good measure!
I always heard this statement in library school (and I encourage you to apply it to libraries you frequent): "If there isn't something on your shelves that offends somebody, you've probably got a pretty poor library."
Our librarian says the same thing. As a parent, if you don't think it is appropriate then deal with it on a personal level. Lauren has classmates who can't read Harry Potter because it has witches. Yet we read them aloud to her when she was very young. In a pentagram. With goat heads decorating the room.
As if Harry Potter leads to satanism.
I am watching her get ready to speak now and want to stick my head in an oven; a pinko,liberal oven! Pack your bags punkin' pie, cuz we's movin' to Canada!
The harry potter thing sends me reeling. I just want to slap people sometimes. OK most of the time. Don't tell my daughter I said that...
What kills me is that the same parents who poo-poo Harry Potter encourage their daughters to be Hannah Montana fans. I greatly prefer that my kid love fantasy fiction over having her think that the "Disney" version of being a girl or a girl pre-teen is what she should be modeling. Parents are often shocked when I mention that my girls don't watch Disney- that Lauren prefers Mythbusters over High School Musical.
Plus how could anyone read Harry Potter and not love it?
