Facepalm, part deux
Facepalm, the non-fandom edition:
This is not the first time people have tried to ban Farenheit 451 That in addition to the cussin', drinkin', and Bible-burnin' the ostensible reason for banning is that it disses firemen makes it double-plus good humor. (via dark_aegis & nnwest)
I can't WAIT until that student is handed Huck Finn. It doesn't just have the n-word, it portrays - gasp! - slavery!!
Fortunately, right before I have to resign from the human race in disgust, tempestsarekind tells me that Gaiman's The Graveyard Book has won the Newbery and jonquil links to an article about the fubar-ed crowd control at the Inauguration (suricattus, when they talk about thousands of people at a northern checkpoint, I can't help but wonder if they mean 7 & D), which also has this great 27-second video of thousands of people stuck in a tunnel far from the Inauguration singing "Lean on Me".
I am reminded of another article. After Katrina, when the papers talked about looters and drifters, there were people who formed modern hunter-gatherer tribes. Which kept their members safe.
