1. After SEVEN years he's still pissed he couldn't keep up with that kid reading aloud...

from "My Pet Goat." What a petty little prick he is.

3. Thanks for this Information

I sent it along to all my book group memebers, especially the Republicants. Wonder what response I'll get.:blush:

4. Reading should probably be banned and punished with a long jail sentence...

It would glamorize it and young people will start reading, exchanging, and probably even stealing books, any kind.. JUST KIDDING, HONEST!!!

5. The local RW'ers gained power in county politics,

cut funding for libraries, started to petition for certain books to be removed from school libraries, and added several extremely RW POV books to community college libraries. These people love ignorance, fear readers. I hope they will be retreating soon if we win the election.

7. From the White House bio:

"Mrs. Bush has a special place in her heart for books and libraries"

Or not. Why doesn't she give him hell about things like this?

8. RE: Why doesn't she give him hell about things like this?

That's because Prozac woman-like everyone else on the hill-is completely full of shit.
