Out, damn Bradbury!

From kleinerkolibri:

Alton Verm filed a "Request for Reconsideration of Instructional Materials" Thursday with the district regarding "Fahrenheit 451," written by Ray Bradbury and published in 1953. He wants the district to remove the book from the curriculum.

"It's just all kinds of filth," said Alton Verm, adding that he had not read "Fahrenheit 451."

Fun with Foley

A friend of mine goes after the Dem and GOP responses to the Foley junk with the following fun read. I'm posting this one since limacine wouldn't let me show you his.

Excerpt:

A Trinity of Big Lies in the
"Foley Diddles, Denny Fiddles" Follies

(1) Fag-abetting Democrats
(2) Endangered kiddies, and a
(3) Poor victimized, molested drunk

The possibilities for a New York Post headline were endless, but I’d have gone with, “Foley Diddles, Denny Fiddles.”
