Good for you. A subversive education is the best kind.

I love libraries, have done since childhood. Places of refuge and exploration, secret societies for the love of reading. Better than a security blanket for me. I had a crush on a librarian with long tresses and an intense air when I was 16 and spent many afternoons among the stacks, lovestruck and book-crazy. I devoured it all indiscriminately, from Kierkegaard to Kerouac, Donne to Dick … From books I gained my subversive education.

Apparently, Palin didn’t mention any specific books. She only asked the librarian how she would act if Palin did decide to ban “objectionable” books. No books ultimately got banned, it seems, because the librarian took a stand and had the people of Wasilla behind her. Go librarians!

According to a Wasilla reporter, there were three specific books she wanted banned. I’d love to know what they were.

Hopefully, she’ll humiliate herself sufficiently in tonight’s debate to send a wake up call to her any one who was considering voting for that ticket.

I love it! Another negative on Palin. The woman will send this country back 50 years with mentality like that!
