I debated about whether or not to throw this link to the Palin and the library story in here. But considering that some of us (including me) have made our own opinions on censorship, and the gray areas thereof, known here on TOTV recently, I thought this link might be of interest.

So far nobody has any proof that books chosen for the Public Library were actually pulled from the shelves. You know the shelves I mean. The shelves in the Public, that would be the Public Library. The Public Library with the selection policy in place to guide the choosing of books for the public. The Public Library staffed with librarians who know how to make all those book selection decisions because they went to school to study up on how. And why. And why not.

So far, the librarian directly involved is not talking to the press.

But what if this alleged conversation actually took place?

What if Palin actually asked the Public Librarian what her response would be if asked by the administration to remove books?

And what if Palin really did interpret such a loaded question as nothing more than a discussion matter about following the administrative agenda?

If it is indeed all true, can we really accept this thing as innocuous? You know, like when Jimmy Carter admitted to lusting in his heart.

My mama always said to never talk about anybody else's kids because you just never know what your own might do. And I have no intention of talking about Palin's kids. Ever.

But if Palin thought she was entitled to censor the Public Library because she was the mayor of the town, well, that one. . . I plan to talk about.

But for right now, I am putting this link to the Anchorage paper here for you. Just as a public service you understand. Not looking for a fight. Just reporting the news from Anchorage. Not sure how this paper spins things.

And I sure don't envy that librarian. She is on vacation right now. Today -- Vacation. Tomorrow -- Maybe the cover of Time.
