Your scenario is nonsense. No one would expect the librarian to go along with banning a book that they already ordered and put on the shelf.

Palin is smart and she would know this. Heck, a school child knows this.

Good. I’m glad to hear that some managers are open to that. The ones in NYC are snooooooty.

Speaking of banning books... let’s see what happens when Christian books and Bibles are put into the school library.

“How about “Barry Has Two Daddies”?”

Haa haaa! Good one! And true.

Leftists librarians don't "ban" books; they just "run out of funds," to purchase particular books... like these:

"She asked the library how she could go about banning books," he says, because some voters thought they had inappropriate language in them".

Now you've heard the rest of the story

Just so you know, Seattle’s Best was purchased by Starbuck’s in 2002.

Reminds me of the story of the two men in NY who ran clothing stores right next door to each other. One would have a blow out sale, complete with signs disparaging the other, then the other would undercut that sale the next week, along with similar signs about the other. Everyone thought they were worst enemies and cut-throat competitors, but the exact opposite was true- they were brothers or cousins- and they used the “cut-throat competition” meme to both of their own enrichment.

Life surely isn’t exactly as it seems sometimes, huh?

I suspect I am 10 times as conservative as Sarah, and I have never wanted, nor ever knew anyone who wanted to ban books. I simply want people to buy the books they want, and let all of the liberal books decay to dust.

I didn’t know that. Business is getting smaller and smaller. Not surprised though. Clorox just purchased Burt’s Bees.

Sips espresso out of the polished skulls of puppies.

I'm sorry I missed this one!

Bravissima!

If I made a tee shirt saying that some people might think I’m being serious.
