An interesting take on the whole Palin-trying-to-ban-books thing, from one of the Huffington Post's most entertaining contributors:

I don't know why, but when I landed on your site, I quickly read the head for the first post as "read between the legs". Really. Don't know why.
I stand corrected.
I really can't stand that woman.
What is the big deal, huh? She probably wants to ban books because she is hording them for a good 'ol fashion book burning, which would be very much in-line with her Nazi upbringing. This is America people, if a racist, moron such as Bush can get elected (and then re-elect, how the fuck did that happen anyway) then Palin can run for office and try to spread the same rhetoric, only God help us make a better, wiser decision this time around.
Anyone who promotes aerial wolf hunting while trying to ban books has a clitoris the size of my left arm. If John Wayne were alive today he'd kill her snowmobile riding husband, marry her, kill her children like a male lion usurping a pride, and plant ten children in her big old Christian holy womb. Then the two of them would start their own two line hockey team with the motto, "Jesus Gives a Puck", and using the forge of sublime ignorance combine religion and hockey to present the GREAT ALASKAN ALL-AMERICAN HOCKEY ROAD SHOW AND REVIVAL, appearing at gun shows and hunting festivals throughout the western states. She'd still be nominated as the republican vice-presidential contender with the unerring logical argument that organizing a hockey and Christian dog and pony show is good practice for running the U.S. and that having John Wayne as the husband of the vice-president is pretty kick ass in and of itself. And her and John McCain would get elected and the slow erosion of the country would be complete, the idiots would win and all that would be left to do is sell off all our biggest corporations to China.
It's a good thing the country is too smart to elect her. Right? I said, right? RIGHT?
I've been thinking about it and it finally hit me today. The absurdities that come out of their campaign, the endless "gusto can solve anything" mentality, that they meet every single argument or question or criticism with a statement straight out of The Schizophrenic's Manifesto and expect us to take it at face value as the honest truth, all of this points to one conclusion: the McCain/Palin ticket is the biggest troll in the history of humanity. Hear me out. Its become fairly obvious they're having fun taking this as far as they can and getting more and more emotional responses out of anyone with even a hint of critical thinking skills. We've become the unaware straight man to their Borat and only look more foolish as we explain for the fourth time that the baby doesn't go in the dishwasher. They're taking Andy Kaufman to the global level. When the votes are tallied and Obama wins McCain will hold a press conference and make history when he comes clean and announces that he and Palin "did it for the lulz." Either that or I'm completely wrong and he'll take that opportunity to execute Order 66 on those pesky "liberals" and spark off the next civil war. I'd rather it all be a big joke.
That's pretty brilliant.
We're all being punk'd.
You're right, Kaufman would be proud -- or actually, what if McCain is Kaufman?
