Guy who threatened school board over masks lost his bid for county executive, is now threatening the vote counters.
Did @ThelmaLou and I call it right? Well, did we?
Christ on a toasted cracker. 
Speaking of which, maybe someone could propose burning some copies of the New Testament…
Surely one of those nasty books they want to burn has a “451” in the title, right?
I see what you did there, but another one would have “Mockingbird” in the title. Another would have “Huckleberry.” Another would have “Catcher” and “Rye” in the same title.
My mother was a bookseller, for an independent bookstore. She took particular delight in “Banned Books Week,” an invention of her bookstore, when the store displayed, in its windows, all the books that had been banned by various school boards, and they were on sale. Mom strongly believed that no book should be banned, and enjoyed selecting the window offerings for “Banned Books Week.”
Thanks to Mom, neither my sister nor I were prevented from reading anything we wanted to, at any age.
Nah, they keep that one, it gives them an excuse to drop the N-bomb while claiming to just be innocently quoting classic literature.
The Goddard (Kansas) school district ordered the removal of 29 books from all its libraries. Those books were on a list submitted by a concerned parent over what the innocent students in the district might be subjected to reading. Included on the list were books by Margaret Atwood (The Handmaid’s Tale) and Toni Morrison.
A couple of problems, however: district policy dictates that if a book is challenged, the process is to go through a thorough review to determine if the subject is not in line with the educational guidelines. And, oh by the way, not all of the books were available in the Goddard libraries.
Turns out that 28 of the books were on a list being circulated nationwide and challenged in various school districts.
The district, to its credit, reversed its decision, stating that the district will
Communicate with families that they do have access to the database of books their children have checked out, they can receive notifications when their children check out a book, and that they have online access to the catalog of books available.
Definitely. There’s way too much resisting of (Righteous) authoritarian rule in that one. We can’t be providing inspiration to kids to do that sort of thing!
Indiana Senator Mike Braun is under pressure for filing untruthful campaign funding reports. His staff claim that it was one of their workers who filed the false reports, and they haven’t been able to find him for three years. Daily Beast called his mother and got a message to her to have him call them back in a matter of minutes.
The party of Personal Responsibility. That is, it’s somebody else’s personal responsibility.
Fox’s Harris Faulkner is shocked to discover that Biden is running the White House.
My mom told me she “thinks it’s sad” that Joe Biden thinks he runs the White House.
Mitch McConnell, Democrats Leave the Supreme Court Alone!
WaPo opinion piece by McTurtle. Posted without comment cos my irony meter is in flames and I need to put it out.
My irony meter blew up as well. The gall of him to wag his fingers at “the left” for their treatment of the Supreme Court, flirting with adding seats, or imposing term limits. Shut the fuck up you justice blocking pile of turtle shit.
Suffering from “Shell shock”, libtards? /s (I feel dirty just from writing that in jest).
I laughed 
Lauren Boebert gets into a fight with Jimmy Kimmel. Behold the results of going into a battle of wits unarmed:
… Just to prove how wild Boebert’s videos can be, Kimmel and his team set out to Hollywood Boulevard so they could show clips of Boebert to pedestrians in a game of “IRL or SNL?”
“We told them they were from Saturday Night Live last weekend and asked them if they thought SNL had been too mean,” Kimmel said, explaining the game. “Wouldn’t you know it, we found all sorts of people who thought her real videos were written comedy bits.”…
To be fair, he might still be a sexist pig. But Boebert is definitely insane.
