Bloggers around the world including myself published a list of books that Sara Palin attempted to ban as mayor of Wasilla, Alaska. The list is a fake. I admit it my prejudice against Jesus freaks tainted my POV. I still think some of these works should be burned, but not by Sara Palin.

If in fact the list was real, then the Bizarro World Sara Palin really had a twig up her tookis for John Steinbeck and Roald Dahl. Bizarro WorldProbably received a D in English for those classes for refusing to reading ‘inappropriate’ books or some thug might have smeared shaving cream on her favorite moose slaying gun.
Mayor, hockey mom, mother of 4, wife of ‘dude’ and social censor.
Bizarro World Sara Palin really is a busybody.
