Adult Porn?

Some cooler heads prevailed in Mississippi yesterday. In a 5-2 decision, the library board has decided to reverse its decision to ban Jon Stewart's "America, the Book." (Link to Story)

Board members were quoted as saying:

"I've been a librarian for 40 years and this is the only book I've objected to so strongly that I wouldn't allow it to circulate," Robert Willits, director of the Jackson-George Regional Library System, said after the ban. "We're not an adult bookstore. Our entire collection is open to the entire public," he said... "I haven't heard anything but a good response by our decision to keep this material out of our libraries," Ogborn said. "Our libraries are not a trash bin for pornographic materials."

I have seen the picture of the naked justices. Porn, I can guarantee, it is not. If anyone could get sexually simulated by the picture of the plus years bodies, they have some serious issues.

If you have not yet had a chance to read "America," I highly recommend it as a great satirical book about the absurdity we Americans must endure from our political process on a daily basis. One of the better books I have read in a long time. But then again, if you haven't noticed, I tend to like sarcasim
