Here's your Nice Time for the day: Despite a number of complaints from Christian conservatives demanding that two LGBT-themed books be removed from the children's collection of the Hood County Library in Granbury, Texas, the Hood County Commission allowed the books to remain on the shelves.
He's so busy making sure his favorite sportsball players score the winning touchdown/home run/3-pointer that he just doesn't have time for the trivial stuff.
We have the problem of "unsuitable" books in our small town library too. The moral folks here have developed a very effective way of getting rid of books. A group of them come in and check out the books deemed unworthy. They are never returned. For some reason they went after all the works of Edgar A. Poe. Every single one of them is GONE. The library has tried replacing them, but they get gonned again and again. Library funding is also too gonned, so they had to stop trying to keep copies in stock. This is happening to other books that could be problem books, but the Poe works were the ones my child needed for her "goth" writing project, so I know first hand how they can get books out of circulation.This didn't stop my kid from reading Poe. I bought her a hard copy of the collected works and for good measure the entire Lovecraft series (it's never too early to learn about Cthulhu!). It pisses me off that there are people out there who think they can judge for me what is OK to read and what will cause me to burn in hell forever. Hail Yog Sothoth and have a great day!

I'm sorry to have been the bearer of bad news, but happy to hear that it brought back some fond memories. I was a young kid in the "White Night's" home state of Wisconsin in the 70s, and watched him race firsthand on the local circuit.
As a thank you for the swell sorting hat compliment, here's a circa-1975 pic of no fucks-givin' Dick and his bitchin' lavender Mercury:
Really. You're kind of a dick, Amy, did you know that's how you're coming across here? Perhaps a site that doesn't love humor would be better for you. Have you tried Freeperville?

Speaking of things that would probably be more appropriate in the dustbin of history...

It was Bob and Neal in the New World translation.
Memories of my brothers and the nursing bras...

If that is real, Bamz did some epic trolling right there
"Library Director Courtney Kincaid decided to move This Day In June from the children’s section to the adult shelves, in the parenting section."
LOL! Well done, madam, well done!
Please let that be real.
Relax. Sheath your Sword of Righteousness. We're all on the same side. But no one likes a fellow progressive with a stick up their ass.

' fruit of the loom ' , ' fruit of the crotch ' , makes perfect sense .
I'd just like to say that professional hockey gets along just fine without cheerleaders.
What would that be Wonkette? Sportspuck? Puckball?

I had a feeling that might be the case.
More like a caber up their ass. Yeesh.
