Banning books now? The book wasn't bannable in 1971 but is now?

Way to drum up interest in the book, Senator.

My wife is hotter than your wife.

Politicians are fucking idiots.

Wow. Liberals banning books. What's next, witch hunts and McCarthyism again?

LOVE THE DEMS

If Harry Reid can leave then so can this old hag. She needs to be put out to pasture.

This journalist should be removed from the internet.

Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Just an fyi for context, the NY Daily News is in roughly the same category as your Daily Mail.

So should the subject of the article.

I remember back in the hippie days when they said the same thing about Abbie Hoffman's book "Steal This Book". (Look it up). The problem with restraint of this book is that today it's this book, tomorrow they'll be banning a book that instructs people how to engage in civil disobedience to unjust laws. Slippery slope and all that. Shouldn't have that, at least not in the US. To me, that's the beauty of the US's First Amendment, which is just about the broadest free-speech and free-press guarantee in the entire world, including all the other "Western" countries. We've had over 200 years of it now, and I don't see the US any weaker for it.

Didn't they try to do the same thing with the anarchist's cookbook a decade or so ago?

So an FBI informant, (in an effort to create a plot for the FBI to bust),
gives a 45-year-old book, (with numerous errors),
written by a 22 year old kid, (who has since condemned his own book),
to a couple malcontents.
And now a politician, (who apparently understands the Internet as well as Ted Stevens),
is using the Striesand Effect to ensure the old book is being downloaded or purchased by millions who had never previously heard of it.

"There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

Feinstein should suck-start a shotgun and log out of the world of the living. She's not evil incarnate, but would still be doing the world a favor.

Worse yet, she's so far removed from reality she couldn't find her own ass with shiva's arms and a GPS.

cavete terrae.

Yep.

This is the publisher's wet dream

So should the subject of the article.Aha! So you think Feinstein should be able to subvert the constitution in secret eh?

But seriously though it should be written about by someone who knows how to write. I mean, if you're a carpenter you should now when to use which joints. If you're an engineer you should be familiar with stress and strain calculations. If you're a journalist you should be able to write coherent english sentences in accordance with the AP Stylebook.

Do you want to have an ideagasm?

It's right up there with To Kill a Mockingbird and Catcher in the Rye.

One of the reasons I got the hell out of California in '98.
The woman deserves a permanent padded cell in isolation at "Q."

The US Capitol comes pretty close.

Lawrocket and I (being from California) know what 'Q' is. Here's a hint...it's not a character in Star Trek.

Most people can figure out what Q is. She can room there with Tex Nugent.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

The idea certainly has merit.

Whoa. Steady as she goes there, pardner. Give yourself time to adjust to being back.

[wmw999 2,587]

I'll admit I assume it means San Quentin. And obviously I meant Ted Nugent -- Tex Nugent was a minor league ballplayer in the 20's or so

San Quentin...RIGHT YOU ARE! and one look at that place from the Larkspur Landing Bridge (The One Dirty Harry was standing on when Scorpio drove the bus past him in the movie) is a scary visual.

Yeah I knew ya meant Ted Nugent!
