<p class="EC_MsoNormal"><span class="EC_apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: 'Times','serif';">Let's spend a few moments browsing the list
of books Mayor Sarah Palin tried to get town librarian Mary Ellen Baker to ban
in the lovely, all-American town of Wasilla, Alaska. When Baker refused to
remove the books from the shelves, Palin threatened to fire her. The story
was reported in Time Magazine and the list comes from the librarian.net
website.</span></span><span style="font-family: 'Times','serif';"><br><br><span class="EC_apple-style-span">I'm sure you'll find your own personal favorites among
the classics Palin wanted to protect the good people of Wasilla from, but the
ones that jumped out at me were the four Stephen King novels (way to go Stephen,
John Steinbeck only got three titles on the list), that notorious piece of
communist pornography "My Friend Flicka," the usual assortment of Harry
Potter books, works by Shakespeare, Walt Whitman, Kurt Vonnegut, Mark Twain
(always fun to see those two names together), Arthur Miller, and Aristophanes,
as well as "Our Bodies, Ourselves" (insert your own Bristol Palin joke here),
and the infamous one-two punch of depravity: "To Kill a Mockingbird" and
"Little Red Riding Hood." But the cherry on the sundae, the topper, is
Sarah Palin's passionate, religious mission to clear the shelves of the Wasilia
Public Library of that ultimate evil tome: "Webster's Ninth New Collegiate
Dictionary." That's the one with " equality," "free speech" and "justice "
in it.</span><br><br><span class="EC_apple-style-span">Go over to your book case and
take down one of the books you'll find on the list (I know you've got a couple)
and give it a read in honor of the founding fathers. Then tell me I'm not
the only voter who doesn't want this woman within thirty feet of the United
States Constitution. </span><br><br><span class="EC_apple-style-span"> Sarah Palin's Book Club</span><br><span class="EC_apple-style-span"> </span><br><span class="EC_apple-style-span">A Clockwork
