Wait until the librarian, or those involved in the effort to save her job from “Censorial Sarah”, speak up. They will likely know what specific books or recall examples (some that may not have even been in the library) that Palin used in her arguments.

I hope that the librarian can recall the specific books that Palin mentioned to her.

Most still distinguish between American government and American citizen. I would not take that as license for a citizen to be promoting official government propaganda, the distinction will vanish most rapidly. They still recall the ugly american here, quite well and the toleration for that character is shallow at best. Not having been in Germany, I suspect this would hold true there as well.</p> There is not much love for official America from my experience here in Europe.

The turnout for the primary couple weeks ago was pitiful, but that’s always been the case. Guess my expectations got the best of me. I think the youth vote is going to tell the tale, particularly in the Miami area, where the influence of the old Moustache Pete’s is on the wane. The young folks don’t know who Batista was, much less have any memories of Cuba. Too early to tell where Ike’s gonna go.</p> I don’t know.

Morning Joe, MSNBC, is on FIOS this AM.

Verizon censorship … and some in the US call it a crime when China does it, but not when Verizon does it.

Propaganda WORKS!
