One Librarian Bites the Dust
I've always found librarians to be my natural allies. How could it be otherwise, assuming you read and love books? And if not, why are you here - or for that matter have you considered euthanasia? They're the amanuenses after all to those terrific repositories of information, i.e., books. And, in my experience, almost always ever-so-smart and most importantly savvy. And perhaps as important as any other factors, wonderfully open-minded and tolerant.
So I'm having a very strong negative reaction to the concept of a "library" in the name of george bush. This lowly banana-slug is a specimen who from what I can tell is scarcely capable of reading. Not because of some innate handicap, mind you, but because he has no curiosity or concept of actually learning anything. He's almost certainly an anti-reader, notwithstanding his obsession with "The Pet Goat" when he should have been at least pretending to be president and might even have been making a difference on 9/11. It's ever so clear that he would never explore alternatives or contemplate a change of mind - and given his stump-headedness, he'd no doubt find any of us who choose to question or explore to be losers. I.e., he does not read, never miind think.
Not the least of this for me is that Laura, once a theoretically competent librarian, is now staggering around with every evidence of being opiated and no longer a proponent of actual education, thinking, or even any program of self-improvement. She's become a prop for a total moron who is the antithesis of everything librarians are trained to support. Imus would have a name for that, I guarantee.
Of course we recognize the brush-cutter's remarkable performance as the obviously floppiest and most inept cartoon-character-buffoon of a president of all time seals the deal. A loser is a loser, and this george has more or less cornered that market. It doesn't even require great reading skill to figure that out.
But a library? Why not name a sewage treatment plant after him? How about a new shoe sole design?
