Wasilla Public Library has decided not to shelve two children’s books dealing with homosexuality donated by a gay activist in California. Michael Petrelis, a 49-year-old from San Francisco, donated the books in September after learning of Gov. Sarah Palin’s question about banning certain books when she was Wasilla’s mayor. When the books arrived, Library Director KJ Martin-Albright said they would go through an approval process that doesn’t look at content but focuses more on durability and appeal, and determines whether there is enough space, among other factors.
Petrelis’ donated books failed the test, Martin-Albright said.
how many places can I post the same stuff???

It’s here. It’s on my blog. I’ll probably cross-post it someplace else… it’s like a joke that you need to tell everyone at work.
it sure seems funny now, but by 2:00, I’ll wonder what the hell I was thinking when I wrote it…
wait a minute
effing, are you Blake? Blake are you effing? am I Great Western Dragon? Where’s Rochelle? what the hell is going on?
You can rule me out
I was asleep when this one was posted.

I’m not surprised, KJ
I’m not surprised, KJ Martin-Albright is probably a Palin appointee.
Wasilla Donation
Maybe the author should have considered donating his book to a library that wanted it — hmmmmmm
