It's interesting that this is banned books week. I was/am considering challenging the shelving of a book at the local library [link] . I think it is more appropriately shelved with adult political humor. My thinking is that it's, well, mean. It's not that it's supporting ideology with which I disagree, but that the attacks and monster-ization of identifiably real people makes it inappropriate for the Children's section.
But I don't know. I support the right of the book to be available. I support the idea of children learning about different viewpoints. ::sigh::
You're not saying it needs to be removed, Debet. I see your dilemma, though. On the one hand, I would tend to agree with you about where it needs to go, on the other, especially given the experiences we've had in the schools here in Jacksonville, the kids with parents who will approve of that book have already had those ideas indoctrinated into them and it's not going to be telling them anything they haven't already heard and the kids whose parents fall on the other side of the fence, tend to go to their parents and say, "This is stupid, what's going on?"
So...
You could buy that book I've seen on kos.."Why Mama Is A Democrat"

And here I could've sworn Republican politicians were the ones screwing interns and assuming wide stances.
Republicans screw America while they're at it.
Yeah, Clinton may well have been screwing Monica, but at least America was getting the reach-around.
HELP! I'm looking for two young adult books that were historical fiction. They were about two sisters running a confectionary during the Great Plague in London. Any ideas?
Nevermind. I am a moron. I googled "sisters running candy London Great Plague" and it popped right up: [link]
Were we aware of this? (especially Jilli)
I've been playing with the soulless Victorian -- and I realized I don't know enough about Victorian undergarments
