Please read this article: 'We have to protect people'
President Bush wants 'pro-homosexual' drama banned. Gary Taylor meets the politician in charge of making it happen


From a Bush advisor and elected state GOP official from Alabama: What should we do with US classics like Cat on a Hot Tin Roof or The Color Purple? "Dig a hole," Gerald Allen recommends, "and dump them in it." Don't laugh. Gerald Allen's book-burying opinions are not a joke.

Four more years? May they pass quickly and without as much damage as we rightly fear.

Maybe if these guys could get together with Osama Bin Laden and Robert Mugabe sometime, they'd start to appreciate how much they have in common.

Hmmm... take books that have an 'unwelcome' racial or sexual content, regardless of literature, message, authenticity or context based on the bigoted and blinkered vision of one man and bury them..... where have we heard this before?




Oh yeah..... Berlin 1939. Odd man by the name of Adolf Hitler. Wonder what happened to him?

No - he burned them. If they are buried, there is a remote chance that some fragments may survive for later generations....

"Dig a hole," Gerald Allen recommends, "and dump them in it. Of course, Allen was talking about books. He was just talking about books."

Wonder what Ray Bradbury would do with a theme like this?

Another Theogogue spewing out his self-righteous garbage. Book burning is a familiar pattern.

Damn them.

I'm passing this article along to some friends, many of whom are gay and in the arts. One of them directed me in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof".

Sad times, folks, and dangerous ones.But we've known that for a while now.

(Ebbie, I don't think we'll be that lucky.)

Maybe George Orwell was just a little bit premature......

Damn, I thought this was going to be a thread about digging a hole and dumping all the miserable, grumpy, game playing useless people in your life right into it! If ever you decide to dig a hole for such a project, let me know, k? Thanks! ;)

What worries me is the number of people I know who really believe it can't happen here.

Yes well, when we Pirates rule the world and all its holidays... after we beat the Elves at Football on Boxing Day (at the Magnetic south pole for those of you not following the ongoing Pirates Versus Elves News)....we'll dig a hole and throw George W. Bush in it for you all, okay? And his Mom and his Dad and his silly brothers as well. Oh, and his little dog too. Will that suffice?

Of course, I suppose we'll have to do something about the puppetmasters behind the whole Bush run up to power...oh well. So much to do. So little Pirate time. We'll get straight on it after we kick the Elves right off Antartica and into the cold, cruel Sea.

Anything else we can do for you lamers while we're at it?

Of course, if people would simply STOP electing idiots who openly discuss their plans to radically curtail civil liberties, arrest people wearing No More years T-shirts at their rallies, ban bunches of books and silence anyone who disagrees with them, we Pirates could stick to drinking and whorring, but Nooooooo...you all elect these galuts. Take that Hitler guy...HE was elected too. Mussolini and Franco too. All elected..all certifiable. Peron...the list goes on. Lord but people do love their fascists. Pirate rules work better than fasacism says I.

Of course, that Hitler dude did engineer a puppet president and then pay some alleged communists to burn down the Reichstag so he could get declared Chancellor but same difference here don't ya think? Get appointed Prez by a court after halting a recount...blame an ex-employee like Bin Laden...make war on another country somewhat to the west of where you claim the actual trouble began and then just make it all up as you go along? If you believe those rumours about The Denver Airport, it's only a matter of time before one grouop or another starts getting rounded up.

And they call US Pirates. Arrrrgh. Why didn't you all throw the bum out when you had the chance. Oh yes...Moral Values...well, I can tell you what we Pirates think of Moral Values. Not bloody much.

And I bet the Republicans will be cheering for the Elves on Boxing Day. Grumble..grumble.
