More on Mississippi Book Burning

Kudos to The Moderate Voice for its take on the controversy surrounding the Jon Stewart book in Mississippi. As Joe puts it:

"People on the right and left need to lighten up. Everyone insists they are against PC but everyone embraces it. You can't make a joke about a turkey's birthday without getting reamed these days (I know because I had that happen in a show. 'It's SATANISM! He's talking about signs!')

"All the talk about trying to ban a book like Stewart's from young, innocent impressionable minds is pure pap. Perhaps the justice should visit a middle school and talk to students and see what they know. Believe me, nude doctored photos of Supreme Court justices isn't what they want to secretly see. Girls don't say: 'Man, what a hunk that Clarence Thomas is!' Boys don't say, 'Dude, that Sandra Day is a hot babe!'"

The eye-rolling inability of people to lighten up, on all sides of the political spectrum, is certainly one of our pet peeves here in Chaseland. That said, I have to disagree with Joe on his assumption that kids don't wanna see doctored photos of Supreme Court justices in the buff.

It's the undoctored photos they don't wanna see.
