Banning? Larry Page and Sergey Brin could learn a trick or two from my mom. Back in the olden days, when trash burning was still allowed within the city limits, she burned my copy of Harold Robbins' The Carpetbaggers. Up in flames in the back yard. Alas, she was too late. The corrupting influence of the NYTimes best sellers list had already commenced to setting me on this downward spiral.Google's YouTube has now banned all videos glamourising weapons.
Wonder if that Page/Brin/Google/YouTube video ban includes Tennessee glamour boys Jackie and Dunlap's Red State Update take on GUNS! over at YouTube. Better view that update quick before some Obama supporter complains about the bitter gun-clingin' going on and Larry and Serge have that video removed.
Here's Malkin on book banning.
Snopes on phony Palin book banning furor.
Even Blitzer on CNN shows the Governor Mrs. Todd Palin book banning story as more hysteria in the stacks. [Link no longer open.]
And hey, e-v-e-r-y librarian bans books simply by not purchasing what they do not like. In the jargon of the field it's called: selection.
