Wasilla never disappoints.

Courtesy of Alaska Public: 

Wasilla city officials heard public testimony Monday night about a library book that is concerning some parents. The book, “This Book is Gay” was written by a U.K. author, James Dawson, and some parents say it is not appropriate content for the library’s young readers. The dispute started earlier this month. When one mother noticed her 10-year-old with a copy of This Book is Gay in his hand, she was shocked. Vanessa Campbell told the Frontiersman newspaper the book contained graphic sexual descriptions, and has no place in the library’s juvenile nonfiction section. 

This Book is Gay is written for young readers, or any readers, grappling with questions about homosexuality. It’s tone is humorous, and it contains cartoons, but some of the content explains sexual practices, and that is what concerns some Wasilla parents. 

Campbell complained to library director K.J. Martin-Albright, but Martin-Albright, after review, decided not to move the book to another library area. 

Campbell filed for reconsideration, a rarely used process, to get a change in what section of the library the book will be shelved. David Cheezum, owner of Palmer’s Fireside Books, is on the committee that will make that decision.

One local Wasilla resident had this to say about he book:  

“It is straight-up pedophile kind of behavior.”

Ah, the old "homosexuality equals pedophilia" canard.  Gee that never gets old.

Well I am sure that Sarah Palin could not be more proud of her fellow Wasillians. Especially since she targeted the book "Pastor, I am gay" written by Reverend Howard Bess back when she was the mayor of the glorified bait and tackle shop.

Well that would seem to be an appropriate choice for a fountain.

Once installed it would be the only honest thing about the place.

You know perhaps it would be worth reviewing what al-Qaeda's plan was for destroying America:

  1. Provoke the United States and the West into invading a Muslim country by staging a massive attack or string of attacks on U.S. soil that results in massive civilian casualties. 
  2. Incite local resistance to occupying forces. 
  3. Expand the conflict to neighboring countries, and engage the U.S. and its allies in a long war of attrition. 
  4. Convert al-Qaeda into an ideology and set of operating principles that can be loosely franchised in other countries without requiring direct command and control, and via these franchises incite attacks against the U.S. and countries allied with the U.S. until they withdraw from the conflict, as happened with the 2004 Madrid train bombings, but which did not have the same effect with the July 7, 2005 London bombings. 
  5. The U.S. economy will finally collapse by the year 2020 under the strain of multiple engagements in numerous places, making the worldwide economic system which is dependent on the U.S. also collapse leading to global political instability, which in turn leads to a global jihad led by al-Qaeda and a Wahhabi Caliphate will then be installed across the world following the collapse of the U.S. and the rest of the Western world countries.
So just to be clear it is not President Obama who is working on behalf of al-Qaeda, in point of fact it was the previous administration that did everything they asked of them. And more.

Before the Republicans apply that next layer of white wash let's take a moment to remember the REAL George W. Bush.

"I don't know what the fuck I'm doing!"
Courtesy of American Idiot: 

The canonization of George W. Bush and the white-washing of his bleak, destructive, and in many ways criminal Presidency has begun. We’re not sure what the point is of opening an entire library dedicated to a bumbling, incompetent functional illiterate whose criminal and political connections helped him steal his way to the White House…twice, but while we contemplate the rage we feel that Bush Jr. will most likely never be tried for war crimes, at least we can still laugh at the farce, the fraud and the failure that is George Walker Bush.

If you are like me this last week of people talking about George W. Bush as if he were actually somebody worthy of respect, or cherry picking his two terms for the few kernels of positive information, or claiming, and this one damn near gags, me, that he kept us safer than President Obama, has kept you in a consonant state of agitation. 

So I thought it would be therapeutic to show George W. Bush  as he really was, without all of the false accolades camouflaging his legacy.

Yeah, THAT guy actually ran this country for EIGHT ENTIRE YEARS!

And the Right Wing has the balls to nitpick at every single decision made my our current President? 

That is why nothing, and I mean nothing, that they say negative about Barack Obama is worth listening to. You simply cannot support this dipshit for eight years and then request that people take you seriously when you offer criticisms of the next President of the united States.

Period!

Okay THIS makes me feel better about yesterday.

Apparently this is an out take, but I think it should have been the official photograph. (Oops, correction, it is photoshopped, Oh well I love it anyway.)

By the  way, just in case you forgot, here is a list of 50 reasons that you despised the Bush presidency.
