You Bore Me And You’re Not Alone
Occasionally, I feel guilty about the fact that, despite being a Bonafide Honest-To-Jeebus Liberrian, I hardly ever post anything remotely library-related. You have no idea how much this sad fact torments me! Oh, the nights’ sleep lost, the hair pulled out. For god’s sake, I’m starting to go bald! Therefore, I will do penance by pointing out that tomorrow is the first day of Banned Books Week, in which the American Library Association draws attention to all the literature that stupid people have tried to censor over the years.
Of course, what would Banned Books Week be without obligatory appearances by those very same stupid people? This nice lady, for instance, decided to take this opportunity to compose a lengthy screed lamenting the fact that we don’t ban more books. Specifically, she seems pissed off that more libraries don’t ban books urging tolerance for homosexuals. Or maybe she wants libraries to stock more books demonizing homosexuals. Or maybe she’s just stupid and confused. I’m voting the latter. (link via World O’ Crap. )
And speaking of The Gays: if, as assorted religious nuts have opined, Hurricane Katrina was God’s Divine Vengeance on Queers, does that mean that Hurricane Rita will be God’s Divine Vengeance on Rednecks?
Just a thought.
