Like the Nazi Princess she is, wrapped in a flag and topped with a cross (It's called a Jesus Burrito), Governess Palin enquired about the removal of some all-time Classic literature from the Wasilla library back in the day. We're talking Shakespeare, people - what's the problem with a little cross-dressing fun?
So, the librarian balked and a town brou-ha-ha ensued. *Policywanker's Note: A "brouhaha" is a 16th century dramatic exclamation used by on-stage characters representing the Devil.
ATTENTION OBAMA/BIDEN CAMP: Get on this shit! These are NOT "mainstream values" they are "downstream... way, way downstream, like storm drain/fetid offal run-off downsteam". Got it?
This partial list is taken from the official minutes of the Wasilla Library Board (sorry, this is all true):
A Clockwork Orange by Burgess
A Wrinkle in Time by L'Engle
Brave New World by Huxley
Canterbury Tales by Chaucer
Carrie by King (Noooo! Not Carrie!)
Catch-22 by Heller
Curses, Hexes and Spells by Cohen (That one, she kept for personal use)
Death of a Salesman by Miller
Harry Potter (all of them, natch)
Heather Has Two Mommies by Newman (there's Lesbians in it)
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Twain (there's a Black guy in it)
My Friend Flicka by O'Hara (there's a Black horse in it)
Our Bodies Ourselves by The Women's Collective (there's a "how to make a baby" recipe in it)
Slaughterhouse 5 by Vonnegut
Tarzan of the Apes by Burroughs (you got me on this one... what could be more mainstream than a mono-syllabic male grunting demands for food and sex?)
Twelfth Night by Shakespeare
The list is 90 books loooong...
But the coup de grace is -
Webster's Ninth NEW Collegiate Dictionary - Banned for simply having the words "vagina" and "penis" in it.
