  1. Are those actually books that Palin tried to ban? Or are those books taken from a general list of books that various people have tried to ban at different times and different places? I find it difficult to deal with the ALA on the subject, because they always seem to bring out the general list to illustrate specific attempts at book banning, even when it doesn’t make sense. (A book banner concerned with wanting “young earth creationist” books out of the school library is unlikely to care about YA novels that are controversial because they talk about teens discovering sex.)

  2. This is hilarious .. great work. I’d digg if I could.

    @Adrian .. ’tis comedy, I hope.

  3. dugg & shouted, this is hysterical!

  4. Anal Hershiser interview ASAP, please. Thank you.

  5. @Adrian - Yes, that is the OFFICIAL leaked list!!!

    @Ryan - I added little links to digg and social networkize to your heart’s content - and I’m pretty sure comment #1 is serious

  6. The books listed are all of a theme, that theme being Sarah Palin herself. I find it unlikely that this would be the official list.
    (Funny stuff, though! Sorry if I killed the funny.)

  7. Ms. Sarah Palin also reportedly sought to ban the works of Mark Twain. The librarian couldn’t be reached for comment. Sounds like the work of the widow Douglas, or maybe even that of scoundrel Huck Finn. Now Ms. Douglas and Mr. Finn were known troublemakers. I’m certain the nefarious pair’s history of skullduggery and collusion was unworthy of Mr. Twain’s pen. (Don’t be fooled, Mr. Twain published before Ms. Palin’s tenure as governor, so it must be true.) Still and all, I’d like to hear the allegation from Ms. Mary Ellen the librarian firsthand. That is, if she hasn’t mysteriously disappeared. For my own self, I can’t say enough about Sarah Palin. I liken her detractors to skaters who go down hard. Anyway, here’s a clip from Jan & Dean. Bet you can’t watch just once: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v.....A&NR=1 And, how ‘bout them Dems: lost in space, or true tales from the Office of the Pork-master General: http://theseedsof9-11.com

  8. This list is bogus. “Meth: America’s Home-Cooked Menace,” for instance, wasn’t published until 2005.

  9. I find this amazing…if it’s true !

  10. Excellently done! Unlike Tim, I get it.

  11. heehee. Well done and hysterical. I’m laughing already at the humorless Palin bootlickers crying “this list is bogus!”

  12. People - do you not recognize humor when you see it?

    That list is perfect!

  13. Okay, yeah, I should have looked closer! But there WAS a list of books she was supposedly trying to ban!

    I should make sure what I’m talking about before I post.

  14. Absolutely superb.SUPERB. My favourite? ” Easy-To-Make-Puppets and how to use them ”.

    I cannot believe the amount of earnest comments. Seriously? I mean, actually, seriously ?!!

  15. BRILLIANT!

  16. fucking hilarious!

  17. Hilarious! But I don’t get the puppet one at the end.

    Explain?

  18. I suppose it’s because Palin herself will be a puppet for a small variety of corporate masters and/or political operatives.

  19. Ahahahaha, why the hell was the puppet one blocked? XD Ha!

  20. Puppet because she’s proven to be an ‘easy-to-make’ puppet and one that will surely continue to be used by her (puppet)masters

  21. Sara Palin proudly described herself as Pit ball with lipstick. Is that what America needs, after eight years of Bush Cheney administration, a self proclaimed vicious bitch in a Vice President? Have the Americans or indeed not have enough of that? Do we need another four more years? Given John McCain’s age and the state of his health, who will keep her on a leach if god forbid she becomes the president by default and that is very likely. Not that McCain can likely reign in on her in his old age. She is extremely dangerous not only to the America but also the rest of the world being clearly loose cannon with zero experience in the world affairs and without any inclination to learn and understand the rest of the world, especially the delicate art of diplomacy and co-cooperation. She is know it all and promises to use the Military might of the USA to get her way, including the nuclear arsenal, as that is what she claims God wants.
    She promises extensive social engineering, impose her extreme religious views, ban abortions including in case of incest and rape. She considers that to her direct calling from God. Such extreme views have been responsible for the assassinations by her likeminded religious zealots of Doctors whose only crime was to perform legal medical procedures, namely terminate unwanted pregnancy. She is opposed to abortions and that is admirable as no woman is for abortion, but she is also opposed to sex education that may help reduce unwanted pregnancies and thus need for abortion.
    What kind of mother is she? What kind of values did she teach her daughter? Did she give her any information on birth control and STD? Or was she too busy with her own career? Any woman can produced kids but it takes a real woman to raise responsible kids and that type of mother Sara Palin was defiantly not. She has learned nothing from unwanted pregnancy of her own teenage daughter, to whom she was neglectful mother, as she is neglectful of her five months old baby with Dawn syndrome. Her passion is producing children, moose hunting, and perusing her political career, but not putting family first in her list of priorities.
    As to her ethics, she has none. Like John McCain, it turns out that Sara Palin brings her own contradictions, she was for the “bridge to nowhere” in Alaska and bosom buddy of the corrupt Senator from Alaska but the she became against all that to gain political advantage. While she was pretending to fight corruption she was secretly instructing the man her sister was having custody battle to be fired and she lied about it, except she got caught on tape. How typical of Bush/Carle Rove like behavior.
    Republicans are going Gaga over the selection of Sara Palin but then they represent ever decreasing fringe extreme of America. It is hard not to notice that less than two percent of delegates at the republican convention are of African Americans or other minority, rest are all whites, when whites represent barely fifty percent of the American population. Is it any wonder that the Republicans are so out of touch with the electorate? Their party is dominated by special interest groups and extreme fringe right and intolerant religious demagogues. In Sara Palin they have found their poster Pit ball with lipstick, a proudly self described vicious bitch.

  22. Dr. Jeff palpates pit balls in his spare time.

  23. Book Banning/Burning is a Declaration of War on Reason.

  24. This is hilarious!

    Then I read some of the comments and was reminded why Bush won the election…

    Canada, here I come!

  25. Simply awesome. I linked to this on my blog, and wish every Warpublican could have this forced in front of their face… then again, they still wouldn’t see the truth since they live in an alternate reality.

    Wonderful work.

  26. Brilliant!

  27. Are you really presenting this as fact? And people aren’t seeing that you’re really just funny?

  28. p.s. I’m a little freaked by the b-word on this page. It should be banned. (Just kidding!) But seriously, Joe Biden’s been voted down by the people twice. What kind of a pick was that?! Where are the decent candidates??? Calgon - take me away.

  29. I strongly suggest visiting SNOPES.COM before passing out total bullshit like this. This list has been disproven over and over and over.
    http://www.snopes.com/politics.....dbooks.asp

  30. Whether Sarah Palin tried to ban books or not has not established, but half of these books weren’t published until 2002 +. The alleged offense occured in 1998.

  31. To Kathleen, DWalla, and others who just aren’t getting it:

    This is a satiric website (and a damned good one, at that!). The brilliant author of this article was demonstrating, in a comedic way, some of the many, many reasons that we should be scared to death of having Sarah Palin a heartbeat away from the presidency…

    BTW, Election Day has been rescheduled to the third Tuesday in November. Please don’t go to your polling place on the second Tuesday, it will mess everything up.

  32. So basically this is fear-mongering… thanks!

  33. I note that her “How Not to Sell an Airplane on E-Bay” is not on her list.

    I’m all for women’s rights, but this woman is just plain scary on so many levels.

  34. So they didn’t sell the airplane on eBay…. big whoop. The mere fact that she was willing to dump an expensive jet like that is commendable. Anyone calculate how much a jet like that costs annually just to maintain? I guarantee the apparent (was it really?) loss on the sale was that significant in the big picture.

    Just say ‘no’ to elitist politicians who want to live life with a silver spoon.

  35. This is meant to be humorous, duh! It points out the fact that Sarah Palin is a self-centered, irresponsible, uncaring human being who needs LOTS of prayers as will our nation if she is elected. I also pray for the ignorance of the people who can’t look at her actions and have nothing but pit for her poor children.

  36. I suppose it should no longer surprise me how many dumb people there are in this country (after all, Bush was elected twice. Well, sort of , thanks to help from some smart evil people).

    I’m with you, Don; Canada, or France, or Portugal, or Germany, or… a whole bunch of other places.

  37. P.S.

    Great quote:

    “You don’t have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.”

    – Ray Bradbury

  38. Dudes. Put a “share” widget on your site. I’m that lazy.

    p.s. the recently prolific and ironically uncritical use of the word “elitist” has my panties in a mad bunch.

  39. p.s. Now that I’ve found said widget, please place several all over your blog so lazy people don’t have to scroll to the top of the page.

  40. Why is it that most of the right-wingers; you kow the deluded ones that can’t tell humor and fact apart are such poor spellers (see above)? Oh that’s right, they’re all moose-hunting rednecks incapable of seeing the dangers of JackMac McBush and Sarah Barracuda… I’m packin’ for Amsterdam…

  41. http://www.amazon.com/gp/reade.....eader-link

    Another book for her to ban

  42. Thanks, Brian, you made me laugh! AP

  43. This is cute.

  44. hey - found some banned by ObamaDin too:
    http://www.amazon.com/Economic.....amp;sr=8-7

    http://www.amazon.com/Fugitive.....amp;sr=1-9

    not to mention Michelle’s thesis from Princton…

  45. Good for humor, to bad it is false…thanks DWalla!!!

  46. OK Wendy, I don’t get that one

  47. I heard she also wanted See Jane Win banned because, in Palin’s words, “who the fuck is Jane is to beat me?! That bitch!”

  48. Liberal retards,

    this list has been proven to be false by multiple sources, including the librarian herself. The four harry potter books that Palin supposedly wanted banned were not even in publication when she was mayor.

    Unless you have something truthful or constructive to say, keep your fucking man-pleasers shut!!!

    The retard whisperer has spoken.

    A of Z

  49. You’re a ‘retard’ who whispers? Take a look, dumbass, the only Harry Potter mention is your own. Start with that, then we can move on to the assuredly much (much) lengthier process of, you know, getting the joke.

  50. That people don’t get the joke, in itself, is funny.
    So Palin apparently asked on behalf of some “voters” how to ban books, but it never actually happened.
    So until there’s something funnier in this election, here’s another!
    (Thanks for providing the fun, Brian.)

  51. Funny, funny stuff.
    Sorry that even you get trolls spurting brainless comments leading off their prose with ‘liberal retards’, etc. They usually have some inadaquacy problem and just seek to strike out whenever they can. Clearly when their party has jumped the shark and their candidates are reduced to daily lies, they have no sense of humor or irony nothing better to do. Palin fits republicans perfectly…she abuses the power of her elected office and she lies. mccain the candidate is a shadow of the former Senator McCain. They should both recuse themselves since they are unfit to hold office.

  52. Absolutely hysterical.

    The really hysterical part of this are the posts from the people who don’t get the joke.

  53. You missed “My Pet Goat.”

  54. Very funny.

  55. This might be funny except for the fact that the next thing we know this will be touted in another email floating around about books Palin tried to ban. I don’t need to see this kind of humor anymore. It distracts from the real issues. This is ammunition for the right wing zealots to use. Sorry to be a downer.

  56. AMERICA NEEDS SARAH PALIN!!!!

  57. Why, Ralph? Moose outbreak?

    Funny site, by the way - keep it up.

  58. Brian– I love your response to Ralph. I haven’t laughed that much in a long, long time.

  59. If only this were a quote written by catsandbeer, not something an actual VP nominee actually said!

    Pressed [by Charles Gibson] about what insights into recent Russian actions she gained by living in Alaska, Palin answered: “They’re our next door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska.”
